It was a pleasure to work with @eddelbuettel, @LeahFSouth and Adam: the support was superb! @gsoc is amazing!

Confession: Signed up for @letterboxd as @j_v_66 mentioned it as a) good and b) possibly underused.
So far, so good. Mostly playing review ping pong with Jan (who surely returns more balls to many others).
But then ... this zinger. Putdown of all putdowns? Hall of fame.

What is the pandemic's true death toll? After months of work, we are launching our daily updating estimate of excess deaths around the world. With official deaths at 4.5m, I estimate the true tally to be between 9.3m and 18.1m, as of today

Also, I am an idiot. While I once worked with a Fred Boyer this one is of course Nicolas. Je suis vraiment desole.

The end of an era, and, if we may add, good riddance.
A bunch of mailing list (and, e.g., @stackoverflow) answers for #rstats will be invalid but that is the sweet, sweet taste of slow moving progress (in, as usual, r-devel aka R 4.2.0 to be by next spring).

The older I get, and the more I use #RStats—20 years now—the more I come around to reducing package dependency. There is SO MUCH in base R that just gets the job done, almost always more quickly, & it makes your code more robust. Code I’ve written 15 years ago still just works.

Any other family with "friendly" competitions over the @nytimes (mini)-crossword? My college-age daughters are _shredding_ me. Could it have to do with using phones (them) versus the browser (me)? Any studies out here? Can I cheat otherwise? Asking for a "friend".

Data Science Programming Methods is back as STAT 447 for Fall 2021, and just started. Expanded shell programming, two guest lectures, the usual mix of git, md, sql, and #RStats will make for am exciting term, for more see stat447.com

BTW @Enchufa2 and I have a paper at arXiv on this; it is (as much as it pains me to say this ... ) even more comprehensive on Fedora and OpenSUSE. We need a .deb based volunteer effort to catch. If I had more time...

Awesome! This is exactly the kind of feedback I was hoping for!
For fellow #rstats & #ubuntu users who see this, here's are links to those slides: dirk.eddelbuettel.com/papers… and one blog post (with more relevant posts linked within): dirk.eddelbuettel.com/blog/2…
