WebR – R in the Browser

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-04 10:36:10

WebR - R in the Browser WebR is a version of the statistical language R compiled for the browser and Node.js using WebAssembly, via Emscripten. WebR makes it possible to run R code in the browser without the need for an R server to execute the code: the R interpreter runs directly on the user’s machine. Several R packages have also been ported for use with webR, and can be loaded in the usual way using the library() function. Warning The webR project is under active development, and the API i

About WWLLN The World Wide Lightning Location Network (WWLLN - pronounced 'woollen'), is a network of very low frequency (VLF) radio lightning sensors operated by the University of Washington in Seattle. Most ground-based observations in the 3 - 30 kHz VLF band are dominated by impulsive signals from lightning discharges called “sferics”. Significant radiated electromagnetic power exists from a few hertz to several hundred megahertz, with the bulk of the energy radiated at VLF. With our world w

I Can’t Stop Playing Duolingo Chess

I’m embarrassed to admit this in my mid-forties, but I’ve never understood chess well enough to play a full game. My son and daughter both learned how to play in elementary school. I was glad they had that experience. I tried to pick up the game when they did, but, as a busy mom of three little kids, I just didn’t have the time, the interest, or the stamina to really sit down and learn. Chess became more popular during the pandemic, and the boom has stuck around; according to a recent Yougov.c

Every decision we make as developers is a tradeoff. We choose to do it because we believe that it holds benefit for what we are trying to accomplish. However, it is generally also a liability. The new code we are adding will need to be maintained, following new processes takes time, keeping infrastructure up-to-date and secure requires regular effort, etc. We are in an eternal battle to build what we need to build without being overwhelmed by these forces.

Top Secret: Automatically filter sensitive information

We’ve written about how to prevent logging sensitive information when making network requests, but that approach only works if you’re dealing with parameters. What happens when you’re dealing with free text? Filtering the entire string may not be an option if an external API needs to process the value.
