• 2019-03-07 @_wilfredh: The thing about memory ownership is that it’s intrinsic (not incidental) complexity on a physical computer. If you don’t want GC, you need ownership. Not all languages provide ownership tooling though (e.g. C). Following Rust’s success I suspect we’ll see more ownership tools. https://t.co/CCmCnX381M

• 2019-03-09 @randomjohn: @abmathewks Part of it is legacy systems, part is the mystique surrounding “validated systems”, and part is the fact that SAS instituted certification a long time ago and enabled people to build careers around this one piece of software.
• 2019-03-09 @kjhealy: BTW if you’re scatterplotting two scaled variables, then you can use ggforce’s geom_circle() to e.g. draw circles to show which observations are within 1 and 2 standard deviations of the mean. Use coord_fixed() to make sure the circles stay circular when drawn. https://t.co/R8mKU2tx7p
