Dark-eyed juncos living in urbanized Los Angeles have shorter bills than juncos in nearby natural areas— but while UCLA was closed for COVID-19 safety, campus juncos evolved longer bills again
doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2520996122

Screenshot of Fig 2A from the linked paper, plotting mean ±SE of residual bill length by tarsus length for UCLA juncos by their hatch year in comparison to the same measure for nearby natural-area juncos; before and after the COVID anthropause the UCLA juncos have bills much shorter than the natural-areas juncos, but during 2020 and 2021 the UCLA junco bill lengths spike upwards to be comparable to the natural-areas juncos

{testthat} is great for automatic testing. Here are some tricks for the heavy user: #rstats

Helper code and files for your testthat tests - R-hub blog
If your package uses testthat for unit testing, as many packages on CRAN, you might have wondered at least once about where to put “things” you wished to use in several tests: a function generating a random string, an example image, etc. In this blog post, we shall offer a round-up of how to use such code and files when testing your package. Code called in your tests Remember our post about internal functions in R packages? What about internal functions in unit tests of R packages? And code…

A Cloud-Optimized Transport Protocol for Elastic and Scalable HPC
Amazon Web Services (AWS) took a fresh look at the network to provide consistently low latency required for supercomputing applications, while keeping the benefits of public cloud: scalability, elastic on-demand capacity, cost effectiveness, and fast adoption of newer CPUs and GPUs. We built a new network transport protocol, scalable reliable datagram (SRD), designed to utilize modern commodity multitenant datacenter networks (with a large number of network paths) while overcoming their limitat…
