Does subsetting (matrices or arrays) always perform a partial copy? in c/r_programming

As far as I know, yeah, R always work with copy on modification. Some libraries as you mention (data.table) can have object/classes to avoid this, but I'm not aware of any of them working with arrays (more than 2D). Maybe parquet or arrow have something like this??

There is something I must be doing wrong as I can't get photos from the phone camera to upload correctly :(

Introduce yourself! in c/r_programming

I'm @MalditoBarbudo, a data scientist at an ecology and forestry research center.

I've been using R for 14 years, starting as an user and ending as a developer. I've done also some python, sql and web development (html, js and css).

I prefer tidyverse, it fit perfectly with my mental logic, but I reckon that sometimes data.table is needed (but in that case dtplyr comes to help!).

I maintain several packages (sapfluxnetr, meteospain...) and collaborate in others (meteoland, medfate...). I also maintain a web with several shiny apps for forest data visualization (LFC).

My favourite obscure package changes every week or so, but if I have to choose one, lately I've been playing with rayshader, trying to create nice 3d map plots.
