Delighted to talk about `r2u` next Thursday at the Chicago R Users Group. As a teaser, the cumulative downloads of Ubuntu focal or jammy binaries. `r2u` covers all of CRAN, with full dependencies. See eddelbuettel.github.io/r2u/ for more on this new #Rstats tool.

If you remember having a dedicated sound card, you should probably drink some water and take a stretch break.

Today's update of #r2u, spanning four days from a long weekend, gets us 32 new #CRAN packages (along with 152 updates) for #Rstats, all pre-made binaries for @Ubuntu with full dependencies, installable via `apt` or `install.packages()` via `bspm`.

After a period in academia I'm looking for an industry position. I worked in the (bio)research and I am looking for a position about building tools 🛠️, analyze data 🧑‍💻 or/and creating reports with #rstats 🧑‍💼(or all 3) Available to work remotely or relocate (iff visas) Read below:

Only 25 out of a over 1000 CRAN packages using RcppArmadillo are affected, a small subset. If you use the package (outside of CRAN) you will likely be fine too. We can help with the conversion, and have an override #define in the next release -- see issue #391 for more.

If you use RcppArmadillo with '<<' to inject values into matrices or vectors, Conrad has deprecated this upstream. A change to brace initialization is simple; we started a transition for 25 #RStats packages at CRAN you can follow at github.com/RcppCore/RcppArma… and are happy tp help.

The insistence of one vendor to seemingly have every single employee repost an announcement to the #Rstats hash tag just made me add what is below to my settings. What pinheads.

Fall 1989 was very special (also my last in (W.) Germany). History changed daily, his October visit to East Berlin was epochal (even if he never said "Wer zu spaet kommt..."). He dismantled an entire empire, peacefully. We were lucky to have him. RIP. economist.com/obituary/2022/…

Mikhail Gorbachev did not mean the Soviet Union to end that way

Its last leader died on August 30th, aged 91

For completeness, the same trick is also in @gbwanderson + @eddelbuettel (doi:10.32614/RJ-2017-026) and its discussion of 'optional data packages on external repos via drat' thanks to one of many extremely clever idea of my very talented co-author 🤩 #rstats

Compared to manual install, this is the difference of travel coast-to+coast by private jet compared to bus.

Nice example + discussion of upgrading #RStats from @Ubuntu 20.04 to 22.04. We can do even better: All packages install with all dependencies in 20s (on Docker, to start 'empty'). The (2018) example script ran fine on my laptop using the same packages -- all thanks to #ru2.
