Is merge-mining Monero with another RandomX coin through p2pool technically viable? Especially when the other coin has a 30-second target block time?

<carrington[m]> "Thanks Keiji I'm happy to..." <- Thanks for doing this, much appreciated! (^^♪

<Rucknium[m]> "Is merge-mining Monero with..." <- My understanding is that the p2pool sidechain needs much shorter block times than the main chain to function, so I'm not so sure. Better to ask in monero-pow though

<SerHack> "Are you a web developer/writer..." <- Why not expand and update monerodocs.org instead of creating new documentation?

I mean, monerodocs has already a lot of info but is basically stalling because of absence of updates. Getmonero could use some updates too. Documentation is good to have, but i think makes more sense to update the 2 unfinished resources we have instead of creating new docs from scratch.

It's quite surprising to see somebody launching another doc platform when i've been asking the community to help update the existent one for like years :P

Who is in charge of monerodocs.org?

Thanks binaryFate for updating our IRC topic.

Rucknium: FYI I believe github.com/Rucknium/misc-research/b…cal-Monero-Logo/data-construction.R is missing a closing parenthesis on line 89.

Cool script! I've never used R before, looks really handy.

spackle: Thanks! Fixed.

R is the premiere statistical programming language. From the perspective of software developers, it may be a hidden gem. From the perspective of statisticians, it's best tool for the job 90% of the time.

18,373 packages and counting are available on R's main repository, CRAN

It ranks higher on the TIOBE index right now than Ruby or Rust

If you want a "deep" analysis of R as a language, check out this interview, starting with "I think R is actually a pretty underrated as a language" :

This web app is written in R, by me: fusionstats.redteam.cash

* Rucknium is done shilling R

Cheers! I'm planning to do an intro to R sometime this weekend, so I'm happy to take the recommendations.

spackle: Is the intro to R with a particular platform?

My plan is to just run basic stuff on Linux for now.

I mean, are you looking at Datacamp or something similar?

Also, you may encounter some tutorial materials that emphasize the "tidyverse", which is basically an alternative syntax for R. The Tidyverse has its strengths and weaknesses. Critique: github.com/matloff/TidyverseSkeptic

I've got no plans past 'looking into R.' Happy to take any suggestions!

1) Datacamp is good for tutorials. 2) Use your own judgement, but I think it's best to learn "base R" rather than the Tidyverse when starting out. 3) If you are working with big data, I suggest looking into the data.table package . It's extremely fast; benchmarks: h2oai.github.io/db-benchmark

data.table also sort of uses an alternative syntax. The style of the syntax is quite succinct.

I used the data.table package for my part in the "Fingerprinting a Flood" article:

<carrington[m]> "Who is in charge of monerodocs...." <- Good question

Also would like to know

<crypto_grampy[m]> "Good question" <- qertoip. Used to be around here as well. Was active in translations too iirc

I've done too much R during my phd years to not end up with a love/hate relationship. The statistic/analysis part is very powerful, you can do a lot with succint code. The programmatic part (where it also tries to be an imperative language) is horrible

<rashad-xo> Hi all, apologies if anyone has asked this already. But does anyone know if there's a channel dedicated to atomic swaps?

<bridgerton[m]> "<rashad-xo> Hi all, apologies if..." <- Not sure if the bridge-inator has had a chance, but there is one on IRC/Matrix: matrix.to/#/#monero-swap:monero.social

<monerobull> ill add it later today

monerobull on -space is the one handling setting up Discord bridges. I assume their alias is the same on Discord and who you'd want to ping

<monerobull> yes, im currently writing through the discord bridge lol
