  Computational biochemistry is slowly getting there. Alphafold was a big breakthrough, and there is plenty of ongoing research simulating more and more.

  We can probably never get rid of animal testing entirely for clinical research, we’ll always need to validate simulations in animals before moving on to humans.

  I do however agree that animal testing outside of clinical research approved by a competent independent ethics committee can fuck right off. (Looking at you, cosmetics industry)

  I have fucked around enough with R’s package management. Makes Python look like a god damn dream. Containers around it is just polishing a turd. Still have nightmares from building containers with R in automated pipelines, ending up at like 8 GB per container.

  Also, good luck getting reproducible container builds.

  Regarding locales - yes, I mentioned that. Thats’s a shitty design decision if I ever saw one. But within a locale, most Excel documents from last century and onwards should work reasonably well. (Well, normal Excel files. Macros and VB really shouldn’t work…). And it works on normal office machines, and you can email the files, and you can give it to your boss. And your boss can actually do something with it.

  I also think Excel should be replaced by something. But not R.

  R, the language where dependency resolution is built upon thoughts and prayers.

  Say what you want about Excel, but compatibility is kinda decent (ignoring locales and DNA sequences). Meanwhile, good luck replicating your R installation on another machine.

  If you can have NAND-gates, a clock and some wires, you can build anything.
