Same quartet, same year (likely same tour?) and a *completely different yet equally awesome* version of 'Cantaloupe Island' from Stuttgart:

Found on @YouTube just now: a splendid rendition of the beloved 'Cantaloupe Island' by @herbiehancock @DeJohnetteMusic @PatMetheny @TheDaveHolland live in Philly in 31 years ago. The entire concert video is excellent, this closer *rocks*.

Our model of excess deaths around the world allow fair comparisons. I found that adjusting for population, the death rate is now about eight times higher in America than in the rest of the rich world.

"The biggest piece is minimizing your dependencies, and limiting them to ones that value backwards compatibility."
While primarily about 'low-upkeep' software, this generalises to #rstats in #production, to #reproducibility and to good #science.

Analogously to the win-builder, there's now an 'R MAC Builder' with "the same setup and available packages as the CRAN M1 build machine"

Word. Sent this to my daughters who are either already in grad school or thinking hard about going 😂
Might have to warn my undergrad students too.

We are looking for software engineers that would like to join us and build distraction-free, e-ink optimized applications for writing, reading, and thinking.
We are building an open-hardware and open-source e-ink laptop. We are looking for someone familiar with the Linux graphics stack, experience with C programming and GPGPU.
Let me know if you are interested. DM's are open.

A weekend tweet from an arcane thread about `sd()` and what-was-then: I dug up R 2.15.3 with little effort from binaries using @Docker and @Debian's snapshot archive to illustrate how things were 8 1/2 years ago.
It's nice that we can do this to check. #rstats
Basically, yes. And warned of deprecation in 2.15.3.
(@Docker used with @Debian oldoldstable along with the incomparable snapshot.debian.org made this easy-ish. No compilation needed.)

A new version of #rstats tsbox is on CRAN: With new functionality such as frequency conversion to weeks, which used to be painful.
