Show HN: New IDE and GUI for R language 11 years ago

What happens when you just download FasteR? Does it work for a limited period and then stop working, will it ask me for a license each time I start it?

Public speaking is tough 13 years ago

There's a very interesting TED talk related to this, by Amy Cuddy (title: Your body language shapes who you are) - http://on.ted.com/Cuddy

Basically you can manipulate yourself into being calm by taking on a relaxed and confident body language. Sitting up, stretching out, taking in a lot of space, ..

I tried this several times and it does help, of course it doesn't make your stress vanish entirely.
