This works outside of @Docker too: it is "warp speed" (nice choice of words I may borrow some more) for *any* @Ubuntu-based #RStats deployment. Laptop. Server. Cloud. Whatever.
Timed install of #tidyverse + #shiny (plus helpers) + #Seurat + more earlier today: under one minute.
Notice that I am using the eddelbuettel/r2u based image by @eddelbuettel that brings previously unimaginable warp speed to the docker build process.

Any news on this, @rhub_ ?
Hi all, unfortunately we temporarily need to stop our Windows and Linux builders, to sort out some billing issues. Hopefully we'll be able to turn them back on soon. We'll tweet here once we have more information.

Retweet if you believe we need a nationwide ban on assault weapons.

Next time anyone talks about arming teachers, remember that today a guy waltzed into downtown Highland Park, shot more than 30 people, and then waltzed out. An entire armed police all around couldn't stop him. Heck, they still can't even find him.

Chapeau bas to @eddelbuettel for great work on 'r2u'. Install time of packages down to 2/3 minutes. #Rstats #Rspatial

Dear @nytimes,
May I inquire what the flaming hell this is, please? As a subscriber, do I get a refund?

As former @amseaixmars graduate student (though it was then called #GREQAM / @EHESS_fr) I fully endorse this picture, and miss the Veille Charite you get to be at for the conference. I only wish you were there to teach #Rstats instead 😉

The #Rstats blog is moving to a more proper address so time to update RSS reader settings and subscriptions.

FREE ARTICLE for followers.
A very good brief explainer on how good mining countries use gold mining to prop central bank reserves & sovereign currency crosses (vs US dollar, yuan & euro). That financial toolware is now gone for Russia.

Don't feel too bad if you aren't using the latest hot #datascience tools. The people using them now and telling you how awesome they are probably aren't using them correctly.

The corrolary is of course a hypothetical question "but Dirk, can't you just rely on the `pip install` ?" to which my usual answer is to slowly walk about and mumble something something xkcd 1987 something ... and to quietly thank $deity for `apt`.

One the nicest things about open source is reading about yet another nice tool (example below), then checking the repo README and realizing ... that it is just an `apt install` away.
So a big big Thank You! to fellow distro maintainers for making all of our lifes easier.

Excellent. As usual we created the
- official @Debian r-base package
- PPA builds for @Ubuntu 20.04, 22.04
- rocker/r-base:{4.2.1,latest} containers
- official @Docker r-base container (PR merged today)
providing four ways to enjoy #Rstats 4.2.1 pre-made
#rstats 4.2.1 "Funny-Looking Kid" (source version) has been released. (The truly impatient can find it in cran.r-project.org/src/base/…, others need to wait for CRAN to update)
