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.

I just hurt myself biting so forcefully into a (toasted) everything bagel that a seed flew into my eye. There, that is the tweet.

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.

And due to some very fine autoMAGIC code by @github and @letsencrypt the site is now also being served via https. Very nice, and thank you!

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.

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.)

My name is Dirk, and I endorse this package. As I did a year ago in a talk at the @Bioconductor developer forum; video at youtube.com/watch?v=nmY1jIhY… and slides at dirk.eddelbuettel.com/papers… #rstats
#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!

The second (and more advanced, covering 'live' (financial) market monitoring via pub/sub) of the two new vignettes in package `RcppRedis` is now also on arXiv at, respectively, arxiv.org/abs/2203.08323, and doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2203.…. #rcpp #rstats

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). github.com/rocker-org/rocker…

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.
