It's a 39th day of my #100DaysOfCoding with #R and #RStats. I did some sampling today! Also, I realized that `var -> dataset %>% select(column)` is not the same as `var -> dataset$column` I feel so embarrassed now it took me almost 40 days and bunch of errors which made me wtf a lot to notice that. I guess, before I was using functions which didn't mind being fed a dataframe, and suddenly I used one which needed a vector. Well, now I know :D #ProgrammingAdventures #DataTypesMatter

Feels a lot like writing a story rather than typical code. Curious to see how it holds up with more complex tasks. #ProgrammingAdventures
