Please help test #RStats 4.2.0
I added a first alpha release to @debian unstable: `apt install -t unstable r-base-core` will get it. I also updated the #RockerProject r-base container with tag 4.2.0. I plan to update them every few days until release on April 22. Please test.
At work we've decided to combine our favourite C++ features that enable robust, reliable, and repeatable code:
Thrand().
It is a combination of threads and rand().
I plan to propose it for C++26, although maybe it is important enough to push for a special inclusion into C++23.
The #Rcpp webinar / talk is happening in three days from now, and registration is still open (and inexpensive overall, cheaper still for students and free for those at NISS partner institutions). #rstats

9 years. Well, as the characters of my favorite TV series “The Wire” used to say: “You only do two days. That's the day you go in and the day you come out"
I even had a T-shirt with this slogan, but the prison authorities confiscated it, considering the print extremist.
The #Rcpp website has been refreshed, but still has quick intros, pointers to the ten vignettes, the gallery, 2500+ #Rstats packages using #Rcpp, and the book.
At rcpp.org (and yes, I should order a https cert)
Thanks all: I am (of course) aware of `ymd()`, the point of the tweet was that `anydate()` avoids all this automagically.
Plus, as @shabbychef reminded us, base #Rstats was there first (for this value) as `as.Date("2022-03-21") + 7` also works. Peace out.

Always happy to help another #rstats user 😉

If you want to learn about #Rcpp for C++ and #Rstats integration, I will be giving a one-hour introduction on March 25 thanks to a kind invitation by @NISS_DataSci via Kevin Lee. Registration should be opening soon, more details at the link below.

Hey, look, round number at CRAN!
A big, big thank you to the CRAN maintainers who are volunteers putting together an unparallel repository with unmatched quality guarantees, year in and out. Very much appreciated!
(Even if #RStats package authors like myself grumble at times.)
#rstats package tinytest now used to unit-test 200+ packages on CRAN! Thanks to all users for your trust in the package, and for all your valuable suggestions!
If you're getting sliced and diced by the bleeding edge, #rocker to the rescue with a container for #rstats with gcc-12. Thanks to @eddelbuettel.
New linter in gcc-12 identified a real problem in my code (first picked up by CRAN, verified with r-edge).

With daughter #1 in town for her first big grad school conference (hello to the APS meeting at McCormick Place) I fired up a family favourite recipe @bittman's HTCE: crispy pork with orange and black beans.
