Last active December 24, 2023 17:33
Tests with growing vectors in a loop in R
# The code below demonstrates that in R, growing a vector in a loop can be fast,
# as long as there is only reference to the object. When there's only one
# reference to the vector, R grows it in place (in most cases). However, if
# there are other references to the object, R must make a copy the object
# instead of growing it in place, leading to slower performance.

later callback execution order bug
# This code uses later's C API to schedule callbacks as quickly as possible, and
# it tests if the callbacks execute in the same order that they are scheduled.
# In Docker on Mac, they sometimes do not.
