Meeting chat log
00:24:16    Olivier Leroy:  current env will change if you are using browser()() to debug
00:26:25    jim rothstein:  Question:   where does the value of "d" live?  in environment, in RAM?
00:27:06    Olivier Leroy:  ram I think
00:27:39    jim rothstein:  OK,   so "d" is reference to memory location
00:29:40    Olivier Leroy:  the memory location will be illustrated by obj_addr(d) (executqtes in correct env)
00:33:10    jim rothstein:  @Olivier Leroy Thx ... need to check later.
00:34:15    Olivier Leroy:  Reacted to "@Olivier Leroy Thx ...." with 👍
00:40:45    jim rothstein:  `<<-`  If such a
     variable is found (and its binding is not locked) then its value
     is redefined, otherwise assignment takes place in the global
00:41:47    jim rothstein:  x <<- 2    1st tries to find x in ANY parent
00:41:54    Jon Harmon (jonthegeek):    [main 12:35:50] > testing <- function() {
    a <<- "I'm in the global environment now!"
  }
[main 12:36:57] > a
Error: object 'a' not found

[main 12:36:57] > testing()
[main 12:36:58] > a
[1] "I'm in the global environment now!"
00:49:37    Olivier Leroy:  the art of R is giving an exampl;e of  <<-  in a event scheduler
00:50:21    jim rothstein:  fibinocci numbers
00:50:55    Olivier Leroy:  I needed the 4 first chapter of little schemer to sart getting it
00:51:16    Martín Venegas: finding a variable inside a really nested list maybe?
00:52:21    jim rothstein:  @Martín Venegas  - think so
00:53:02    Martín Venegas: Reacted to @Martín Venegas  - t... with "👌"
00:54:30    Martín Venegas: so the order in package loads matters
00:55:02    Jon Harmon (jonthegeek):    Replying to "so the order in pack..."

Yes! If two packages have a function with the same name, you'll get the most-recently-loaded version.
00:55:18    Retselisitsoe Monyake:  Reacted to "Yes! If two packag..." with 👍
00:55:22    Martín Venegas: Reacted to Yes! If two packages... with "❤️"
00:55:24    jim rothstein:  Reacted to "Yes! If two packag..." with 👍
00:56:31    jim rothstein:  Can you go through this diagram?    all the pieces??
