I started using the r2u image to do some benchmarking for my @_useRconf talk.
Turns out that r2u is an average-sized image with the fastest build time, beating all the other options

r2u brings fast, automated, and reversible #rstats package management for Ubuntu and it is awesome!
How do I know? Read on...

If you're seeing 'Error in x$.self$finalize() : attempt to apply non-function' in your #rstats session, we have a potential workaround in the development version of Rcpp -- testing appreciated! Install with install.packages("Rcpp", repos = "RcppCore.github.io/drat")

I have a joke about trickle down economics.

Most sincere gratulations -- this was well earned as it is a genuinely excellent and brilliant piece of work you (and the rest of the team) did there. Thanks again as well for stepping by and telling my STAT 447 students about this and other work: youtube.com/watch?v=1TgEl5OZ…
Just won the Future of Media award! Very happy to accept the award for data journalism together with @AlexSelbyB for "The pandemic's true death toll"

I’m fascinated by sentences that get worse with every single word — sentences where not even the prepositions offer us any hope or rest

Sounds like the jupyter/python world needs a dose of #RStats tinyverse.

Big #r2u news: a mirror! Announced during the @ChicagoRusers talk I just gave.
Use r2u.stat.illinois.edu/ubuntu… and take advantage of Intenet2 speeds, and campus reliability to bring your CRAN Ubuntu binaries to #RStats for @Ubuntu. #r2u documentation will be updated tomorrow.

Are pkg dependencies ruining your #rstats session? Do you find yourself having to `apt install` some lib to install a pkg? Is building packages from source eating into #rayverse time? What if...you can do it all in the terminal as the CRAN gods intended?
Then r2u is for YOU!

The `r2u` talk is happening in three days in Chicago at the R User Group meeting. Updated #r2u download chart below as a tease. Not yet 'billions and billions served' but hey 400k aint too shabby for four months. Details at eddelbuettel.github.io/r2u/
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.
