This is mind-blowing. 30+ miles a day. For 100+ days. Rain or shine. Mountain or desert. Across Mexico from West to East. Wicked story by @ksieff who is not a shabby runner either (2hr 48min marathoner) washingtonpost.com/world/int…

'apt update && apt upgrade' automagically bringing new rstudio(-server) and quarto binaries is the gift that keeps on giving new #rstats toys. And just got quarto 0.9.9, so it seems like a main release may be coming 'soon'.

Reminder that `colorout` is *wicked* for the console. Quick #rstats example with a @Rdatatable snippet by @grant_mcdermott I still had in a #byobu / #tmux session. See github.com/jalvesaq/colorout for the package. Someone should port it into base R (as it can't be a CRAN package).

It just got me _again_. #RStats #cpp #contextSwitchingIsHard
Forcing us to alternate between comment characters %, # and // may have been the biggest trick ever pulled by the Devil.

AsioHeaders - 'Asio' is a cross-platform C++ library for network and low-level I/O programming that provides developers with a consistent asynchronous model using a modern C++ approach. It is also included in Boost but requires linking when used... #rstats github.com/eddelbuettel/asio…

That is (again) a nicely patient timeline to only warn several years after removing from (documented, visible) APIs -- so thanks #RStats Core, and thanks too for generally keeping long timelines between deprecation and removal, and _of course_ for so proactively adding checks.

I was really smitten with "Uneasy" when it came out in 2021 that I listened to it non-stop. But to see @vijayiyer, Linda May Han Oh and Tyshawn Sorey each win the poll for piano, bass and drums, and to win small group is ... a Jazz "Grand Slam"? @natechinen, can you advise?
This is wild. Thank you, @jazztimesmag 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 Come celebrate with us this week at @vanguardjazz (which was, incidentally, voted “best club”!) linktr.ee/vijayiyer @ Village Vanguard instagram.com/p/CZMjQ-HrLa-/…

Big, big Thank You! and congratulations to (apparently mostly twitter-inactive) @Aymeric_Stamm for taking over #RStats package `nloptr` from (entirely twitterless) Jelmer Ypma and taking care of updates for nloptr 2.0. CRAN made sure everything was done to spec, as usual.
