The last post showed how to work with the macOS mdls command line XML output, but with {swiftr} we can avoid the command line round trip by bridging the low-level Spotlight API (which mdls uses) directly in R via Swift. If you’ve already played with {s… Continue reading Avoiding The mdls Command Line Round Trip With swiftr::swift_function()

Greynoise helps security teams focus on potential threats by reducing the noise from logs, alerts, and SIEMs. They constantly watch for badly behaving internet hosts, keep track of the benign ones, and use this research to classify IP addresses. Teams … Continue reading Help Your Mac Stand Between The Darkness And The Light with GreyWatch
The United States Department of Justice has charged three North Korean computer programmers with a range of cyber attacks that made headlines around the world.

The past two posts have (lightly) introduced how to use compiled Swift code in R, but they’ve involved a bunch of “scary” command line machinations and incantations. One feature of {Rcpp} I’ve always 💙 is the cppFunction() (“r-lib” zealots have a simil… Continue reading Making It Easier To Experiment With Compiled Swift Code In R
The previous post introduced the topic of how to compile Swift code for use in R using a useless, toy example. This one goes a bit further and makes a case for why one might want to do this by showing how to use one of Apple’s machine learning librarie… Continue reading Calling [Compiled] Swift from R: Part 2
I’ve been on a Swift + R bender for a while now, but have been envious of the pure macOS/iOS (et al) folks who get to use Apple’s seriously ++good machine learning libraries, which are even more robust on the new M1 hardware (it’s cool having hardware … Continue reading SwiftR Switcheroo: Calling [Compiled] Swift from R!
The Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunications (SWIFT) has introduced an updated set of baseline customer security controls that all of its users must implement on their SWIFT-related infrastructure by mid-year 2021. SWIFT is the worl… Continue reading Financial institutions can strengthen cybersecurity with SWIFT’s CSCF v2021
Last week I introduced a new bookdown series on how to embed R into a macOS Swift application. The initial chapters focused on core concepts and showed how to build a macOS compiled, binary command line application that uses embedded R for some functio… Continue reading New SwiftR Chapter Up: Building an R-backed SwiftUI macOS App
Over Christmas break I teased some screencaps: A more refined #rstats #swift “SwiftR” example. Simple Image view + some text views, a color picker and a button that runs R-in-Swift code (like {reticulate} does for Python in R) Note no ssd/hd storage ro… Continue reading Bringing R to Swift on macOS
