Feed: Cloudwards. Author: Samson Max; The downhill trend of Nigeria’s internet freedom isn’t stopping anytime soon. The safety of protesters, bloggers and journalists is increasingly at risk as the Nigerian government takes more repressive steps, from opening fire on protesters at the “Lekki massacre” in October 2020 to banning Twitter on June 4, 2021. The Twitter ban especially is a sign of growing online censorship, and it further stresses the importance of using the best VPN for Nigeria. A virtual private network helps you reclaim online freedom and access censored websites like Twitter with ease. It masks your IP address, ... Read More

Feed: Cloudwards. Author: Fergus O'Sullivan; Chances are you currently have two or more apps you regularly use that you wish could work together to save you some time, like having a smart home thermostat switch itself on when it gets cold outside, or have an article posted to Twitter when you move a relevant card in Trello.

Feed: R-bloggers. Author: mrtnj. Cullen Roth posted a beautiful animation of quantitative trait locus mapping on Twitter. It is pretty amazing. I wanted to try to make something similar in R with gganimate. It’s not going to be as beautiful as Roth’s animation, but it will use the same main idea of showing both a test statistic along the genome, and the underlying genotypes and trait values. For example, Roth’s animation has an inset scatterplot that appears above the peak after it’s been reached; to do that I think we would have to go a bit lower-level than gganimate and ... Read More

Feed: Radar. Author: Mike Loukides. It would be hard to miss the commotion around non-fungible tokens (NFTs). Non-fungible tokens are, to a first approximation, purchased digital goods that exist on a blockchain. At this point, NFTs exist on the Ethereum blockchain, but there’s no reason that they couldn’t be implemented on others; it seems reasonably likely that specialized blockchains will be built for NFTs. What kinds of value do NFTs create?  It’s certainly been claimed that they create a market for digital art, that digital artists can now get “paid” for their work.  Wikipedia points to a number of other ...
