If you have not yet seen @prince solo at the 2004 hall of fame inductions, watch it now. And a few years ago I found the @nytimes piece about how he as a "musician's musician" approached this. Pure gold. But video first. youtube.com/watch?v=6SFNW5F8… nytimes.com/2016/04/28/arts/…

And to make testing #Rstats 4.1.0 even easier, a #RockerProject r-base container is now available. Just 'docker pull rocker/r-base:4.1.0' and test as e.g. shown below. (Yes you may need to add Depends and LaTeX support ...). Plan to update the image weekly til release.

R 4.1.0 is coming May 18: we all should test it now. A first 'alpha' build dated 20210419 (svn r80191) is in @Debian experimental (not unstable due to release freeze). If you know how to help yourself on Debian, amd64 binaries are here: github.com/eddelbuettel/ppaR… #rstats

In an upcoming @ieeesoftware paper with @lolamby, we describe the #ReproducibleBuilds approach to increase the integrity of [#opensource] software #SupplyChains and how that worked out for @Debian. #openaccess preprint: arxiv.org/abs/2104.06020 #FreeSoftware #FOSS @ReproBuilds

ess-intro.github.io/ I’ve tried Rstudio several times over the years and it’s great but I always go back to Emacs and ESS. This is a great initiative to introduce it to a wider audience.

Congratulations! @Debian builds have been prepared, but sent to 'experimental' during the release freeze. Binaries for amd64 are at github.com/eddelbuettel/ppa. Builds for @Ubuntu 20.04 are queued at Launchpad in my PPA and should be available "soon".
#QuantLib 1.22 (the C++11 edition) was released today. Thanks to all contributors! Get it at <quantlib.org/download.shtml>. Release history at <quantlib.org/reference/histo…>.

I keep getting emails from NASA where they request I inform them about curl. They can land on Mars, sure, but I think they have some other issues left to sort out...

Look what a happy smile kiddo #1 has! High time for a "when I was your age it was uphill both ways in the snow" rant as nobody sent a note about my grad school cohort. Then again, there was no @Twitter either as @timberners_lee was about to unveil these hypertext tubes. 🙃
Thank you to our amazing graduate students for being the glue that holds @TheSquishyLab together, venturing out into the great unknown of scientific research to make incredible discoveries every day! We appreciate you! #WithGRADitude

The @JazzOnThisDay account remains one of my absolute faves on this site, especially when combined with a streaming subscription. I sometimes wish @RhysTranter and @NateChinen would meet and I could just sit in a quiet corner and soak it all in. Also, the #SoulMovie was ace.
Bobby Hutcherson recorded Dialogue for Blue Note Records #onthisday in 1965.
