r - Is there a reason to prefer extractor functions to accessing attributes with $? -

-

on thread on crossvalidated, made following comment:

i suspect r question difference between working s3 classes (that accessed via $) & s4 classes (that accessed via @)...

@gavin simpson subsequently commented:

@gung more spot on, solution not delve objects , rip out whatever feel learn use extractor functions, in case coefficients() or shorter alias coef(), in coef(fit)

i'm intrigued this. why using coef(model) be better than model$coefficients[,1], example? (i recognize latter uglier , requires more typing, doubt that's reason intended.) case there isn't existing extractor function (e.g., accessing t-statistics)?

because author of package using free change underlying structure of model object without worrying breaking everyone's code.

obviously generalizes r core well. recommended use extractor functions because can sure return correct information, if function authors find necessary shuffle things around under hood.

maybe add more information 1 of elements of model list object, , changes order of everything? code break.

Does Firefox offer AppleScript support to get URL of windows? -

-
i trying write applescript that, among other things, gets url of every open webpage in firefox. in safari (and chrome), done simply: tell application "safari" return url of every tab in every window however, seems me firefox offers no real applescript support, such getting url of tab or window. when google terms "firefox" , "applescript" together, firefox bug requests asking applescript support restored, last updated in 2010 or 2011 (like this , this ). am right in thinking, then, firefox no longer offers proper applescript support? realize there semi-workarounds, such simulating key-commands in applescript, aren't practical purposes. to see of applescript commands firefox responds to, launch applescript editor, select menu file > open dictionary... , , choose firefox application. you'll find you're expecting: firefox doesn't offer useful applescript commands.
