Q&A

  • Want to enjoy the speed of data.table while using dplyr? Check out dtplyr.

  • Q: R crashes and then I can never open it again. A: Locate the .RData file and delete it. Carefully inspect your code which may generate extremely large R objects causing the crash. Configure R to not save workspace as .RData on exit and not restore workspace on startup. R4DS recommendation: do not save R workspace as .RData on exit nor restore workspace on startup.
