RStudio 0.92.44 Release: Try It! You’ll Be Surprised!

I recently downloaded RStudio’s v0.92.44 release, and, I must say, it’s light! I think I could even run it on a netbook, which is great for analysis on-the-go. I’ll likely uninstall Eclipse-StatET at this point and go with RStudio. Not only is it light, but the layout and features are exactly what I wanted from an R app.
 

Here’s a screen shot (click for full size) (FIXED):

RStudio.Capture


If you haven’t given this a try, I highly recommend you do. It runs on all popular platforms, and uses the Qt widget library. Although I’m not a fanboy of Qt, this is one case where Qt seems to really shine.

RStudio can be downloaded here.

Actually, I have used RStudio on a netbook, and it works fine (though the real estate is limited). I found on my netbook it is better if I connect to my linux server which has RStudio Server on it. Works just like the desktop, but much faster since my server is a bit heavier than my netbook :)

Realtek HD Audio Conflicts with NVIDIA HD Audio Drivers

The Problem For the past few weeks, I’ve been having issues with my audio driver for my Lenovo Y510P mysteriously closing one application using the audio device and opening another, the newly opened program wouldn’t even return an error! It would simply stall. Opening the Audio Devices window, trying to disable then re-enable the device, the response would be This audio device is currently being used by another application. For some time, the only solution I could find was simply to restart the computer. Needless to say, this was absolutely unacceptable (as a long-time Unix-type systems user, the whole concept of having to restart a computer due to a driver issue is, has been, and always will be absolutely absurd. Although this is a Windows system, restarting services can and will work in many cases to free those odd “hung-up” states). As a developer, this can be a very frustrating thing, since many coders rely on audio for various reasons, one of which is listening to music or...

Consuming RdotNET

In my explorations with R, Mathematica, FreeMat, MatLab, and RapidMiner (now with R support! Yay!), I’m seeing integration of R to be quite useful in building a trading app, as technical analysis is one of R’s fortés. For the sake of brevity, I’m including comments in the code instead of using paragraphs… use the source, Luke.
