When the `r2u` update gives you 49 new CRAN (and BioC) packages from the last few days (and 'state' is being kept for comparison by @KayonToga 's lovely `wajig` frontend to `apt` etc). #RStats

You can slice #SAR imagery and #lidar data from TileDB arrays and create some impressive visualizations. But how about asking #dalle2 what a geospatial data array as an abstract painting might look like? #geospatial

New r2u demo showing easy, reliable installation of three CRAN #RStats packages onto @Ubuntu 20.04 which had otherwise frustrated a SO user. With gif :)

Neat story if you've ever listened to the phenomenal album "My Life in the Bush of Ghosts". And if you haven't yet what the heck did you do the last 40 years?

First release {r2c}, a new experimental #rstats pkg to convert* R to C for blazing fast group statistics. Lots of caveats, but pretty exciting IMO.

From this recipe which is a wee bit heavy on the red wine vinegar. Overall quite a winner though.

Hey @espn here is another product idea: "data science battle royale" between base #rstats, #tidyverse, #pandas
... because friends still don't let friends use E@$el for real data work.
📢 EXCEL ESPORTS IS COMING TO @ESPN! This Friday, August 5, tune in for "Excel Esports: All-Star Battle" on #ESPN8: The Ocho.

There *is* a difference between installing from a carefully maintained repository such as CRAN, versus closing your eyes and trusting a remote URL via `install_github`.
AFAIK we have not been had yet in #Rstats but the attack vector is obviously there.
I am uncovering what seems to be a massive widespread malware attack on @github.
- Currently over 35k repositories are infected
- So far found in projects including: crypto, golang, python, js, bash, docker, k8s
- It is added to npm scripts, docker images and install docs

Canada welcomed me and my family & gave us the opportunity for a better life. it enabled me to live my dreams. It’s a great honour to play for Canada and I want to give back, so I’ve decided that I will donate this years World Cup earnings to charity.

Minor reminder: We often make pre-releases of #Rcpp, #RcppArmadillo, ... available in the rcpp-drat repo. If you want to see what will come to CRAN and #Rstats (eventually) please install and test. I run these locally all the time too without woes.
