# Using ldply returns a clean data frame, so avoids 
# the lapply + do.call(rbind, ...) idiom
# Also, the .progress argument is very useful

What if a function in a package has no examples? Or is poorly exampled? Wouldn't it be nice to find functioning instances of it "in the wild"?

Via Twitter, Noam Ross taught me a clever way to do such searches on GitHub. Put this into the GitHub search box to see people using the llply() function from plyr:

"llply" user:cran language:R

Or just click here.

c("randomForest","dplyr","magrittr","ggplot2","ggthemes") -> packages

	lapply(packages, library, character.only = T)

Moved

Now located at https://github.com/JeffPaine/beautiful_idiomatic_python.

Why it was moved

Github gists don't support Pull Requests or any notifications, which made it impossible for me to maintain this (surprisingly popular) gist with fixes, respond to comments and so on. In the interest of maintaining the quality of this resource for others, I've moved it to a proper repo. Cheers!

Permission to change the things
which should be changed,
