How I use shapefiles in R with ggplot2 and RGDAL
library(rgdal) # R wrapper around GDAL/OGR
library(ggplot2) # for general plotting
library(ggmaps) # for fortifying shapefiles
# First read in the shapefile, using the path to the shapefile and the shapefile name minus the
# extension as arguments
shapefile <- readOGR("path/to/shapefile/", "name_of_shapefile")
# Next the shapefile has to be converted to a dataframe for use in ggplot2
shapefile_df <- fortify(shapefile)

A couple quick bash scripts so I can keep virtualenvs somewhat consistent across machines. backup-requirements.sh exports requirements files for each virtualenv, names the files for the virtualenv and sends them to a date-versioned directory. install-requirements.sh loops through a directory of requirements files and checks to see if a virtualen…

Can you help me understand the benefit of require.js?

I'm having trouble understanding the benefit of require.js. Can you help me out? I imagine other developers have a similar interest.

From Require.js - Why AMD:

The AMD format comes from wanting a module format that was better than today's "write a bunch of script tags with implicit dependencies that you have to manually order"

I don't quite understand why this methodology is so bad. The difficult part is that you have to manually order dependencies. But the benefit is that you don't have an additional layer of abstraction.
