Congratulations on a new and smooth release!
Corresponding @debian builds are in 'experimental' (as there is a release freeze), @ubuntu jammy builds are at my PPA. The 'qlcal' calendering spin-off for #rstats has been updated and submitted to CRAN too.
#QuantLib 1.30 was released today. Thanks to all the contributors!

"Marseille
Je marche souvent seul dans tes rues
Et trop souvent, j'y ai disparu
Marseille
Mon cœur si seul cherche ta caresse
Car ma vie est trop remplie de tristesse"
Rest in peace, Ahmad Jamal. 92 years young, gone too soon.

Another #r2u demo: We install the #runiverse binary of r-#polars with r-#arrow -- as Ubuntu binaries, with all #arrow package dependencies, in maybe twenty seconds max, from a single R command (plus one to set a repo variable). What's not to like?

Does anybody know of a Chrome plugin replacing a certain dog with, say, a little blue bird, maybe even one giving a finger? #askingForAFriend #notReally

One of the hardest decisions of my career. I'm proud of the team for taking it so well. I'll be offline for the foreseeable future (bad internet connection), but hope to resume our work in Q4!
Because of the risks of having such a powerful system, the @modal_labs product will suspend all development for six months. The team will be paddleboarding in Tahiti until October 2023.

Billion-dollar business idea: Use `uuidgen` for company names. Now taking calls from angel investors.

Another hidden gem when using `apt` to get your CRAN packages for #rstats via #r2u?
Paired with a stateful (meta) package manager such as `wajig` by @KayonToga, you get easy views of "what is new". Screenshot is from laptop from yesterday.
