Fantastic column titled 'Work, the wasted years':
"Shakespeare wrote “King Lear” in the time an average office worker spends changing font sizes during their career."

How it started. How it's going.
We have 500+ fewer package on CRAN than at '19k packages' in March.
Enforcing quality levels is harsh. We all hate rejection (from CRAN, journals, conferences, ...) so this is not popular. But it helps ensure quality. #rstats
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 4.2.1, the first patch release for the R 4.2.* series, will drop June 23 as @pdalgd just posted to r-announce and r-devel. Details will appear in due course at the top of the usual page developer.r-project.org/

Installing packages `sf readr xlsx sqldf tmap DT` with one command in the `r2u` demo container: one command, all binaries, all dependencies, and in seconds (cf github.com/rocker-org/rocker…) Works the same way on your Ubuntu server, desktop, laptop cloud instance

Mission accomplished. Daughter #2 successfully moved to lovely Baltimore, and delicious seafood consumed at habor. Another good day.

📦 You are picking a great time to use #rstats in Ubuntu. For easier package installation from binary sources, check out @rstudio binary package manager or @eddelbuettel 's new r2u project dirk.eddelbuettel.com/blog/2… . I've been using R on Linux since 2005 ...

Next person b%^&ching about CRAN. read this too. Noone claims removals (a few of late) and iterations (for uploads) are painless (I have been furious at times too...) but in aggregate what we get is *so valuable and unparalleled*. #ThankYouCRAN #RStats
