Yihui Xie

I’m a software engineer working with RStudio, Inc. I got my PhD from the Department of Statistics, Iowa State University. My thesis was Dynamic Graphics and Reporting for Statistics, advised by Di and Heike. I have been developing a few R packages either seriously or for fun (or both), such as animation, formatR, and knitr. I founded a Chinese website called “Capital of Statistics” in 2006, which has grown into a large online community on statistics in China. I also initiated the first Chinese R conference in 2008. Besides statistics, I’m a big fan of GitHub, LyX and pandoc. I hate IE. I fall asleep when I see beamer slides, and I yell at people who use \textbf{} to write \title{}. I know I cannot eat code, so I cook almost every day to stay away from my computer for two hours.

这是谢益辉的个人主页。2013年底我从Ames村办大学统计系毕业（终于解决了人生前30年里最大的FAQ：你怎么还没毕业？），目前就职于RStudio。我支持开源软件，喜欢折腾网站和代码，是一个高度自我驱动的人。打羽毛球爱勾对角，打乒乓球像太极，网球满场子捡球，篮球容易被撞飞，攀岩一次，腿软。宅，口重，嗜辣，屡教不改。智商中等偏下，对麻将和三国杀有不可逾越的认知障碍，实变函数课上曾被老师叫醒。少读书，只是偶尔网上乱翻帖子，对诗词楹联比较感兴趣，目前比较中意的一联是“千秋邈矣独留我百战归来再读书”，最喜欢的一首词是：

深情似海，问相逢初度，是何年纪？依约而今还记取，不是前生夙世。放学花前，题诗石上，春水园亭里。逢君一笑，人间无此欢喜。
无奈苍狗看云，红羊数劫，惘惘休提起。客气渐多真气少，汩没心灵何已。千古声名，百年担负，事事违初意。心头阁住，儿时那种情味。
