This is very interesting code that uses Umbra v0.2-957, PostgreSQL 17.2, and DuckDB v1.1.3.

One minor point: some of the problems could not be implemented in DuckDB due to a missing xor operator - but the documentation includes an xor function (https://duckdb.org/docs/sql/functions/numeric.html#xorx-y) for the same version. Is the form of the function not suitable?


Answering my own question: Umbra and PostgreSQL include "#" as an operator for bitwise xor, whereas DuckDB does not.


Nice childhood memories: "Thunderbirds are go!"

I always wondered how the palm trees were able to be flattened:).

This is a very interesting IDE to support data science.

Has anyone tried using the Eclipse Theia IDE for data science?

One of these IDEs may finally entice me away from ESS, magit and Org Mode.


"PSA" can also be probabilistic sensitivity analysis. I do health economic evaluations for prostate cancer screening -- which leads to interesting ambiguities:).


The article references the SSJ Java package which is developed by the author and his colleagues. This provides implementations for many RNGs -- and some nice tools for simulations: https://github.com/umontreal-simul/ssj




ErgoAI is as "an enterprise-level extension of the Flora-2 system" which was recently open-sourced: https://github.com/ErgoAI . It seems to be well documented.


See https://fricas.github.io/, which includes a 990 page book and detailed documentation.


This is a nicely balanced discussion of the two languages - with much food for thought.
