Dear @Bloomberg @BW : I tried to purchase this week's issue w/ @matt_levine 's 40k word treatise on crypto. Only to find that a neither a decently-stocked grocery store nor an equally-well stocked bookstore have it. I live in near-suburb of a global metropole. Can you help?

Congratulations!! As usual we created the - official @Debian r-base package - PPA builds for @Ubuntu 20.04, 22.04 - rocker/r-base:{4.2.2,latest} containers - official @Docker r-base container (PR pending) providing four ways to enjoy #Rstats 4.2.2 pre-made
#rstats 4.2.2 "Innocent and Trusting" (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)

Thanks to @eddelbuettel for presenting r2u at #YEGRUG yesterday! Check out slides and video recording from the event, especially the follow up discussion that couched on important topics, such as reproducibility and package management with #rstats yegrug.github.io/meetups/202…

Had lots of fun talking to the (Edmonton) YEGRUG about #r2u earlier tonight, including a live demo installing #tidyverse, #brms and #Seurat in one command leading to about 180 binaries installed -- in about 30 seconds. Gotta love #r2u. Slides are at dirk.eddelbuettel.com/presen…

Because he gets no ♥️ here: BDR is a saint. Got a nice and quiet email pointing out one last use of sprintf in #Rcpp (we generally use snprintf; this case was safe) as macOS 13 deprecates it. I already fixed in a branch, now testing. He is so tireless, and so helpful. #rstats

You are doing it wrong. See `example(grangertest, package="lmtest")` for a formal Granger Causality test on this. 😜 #rstats /cc @AchimZeileis
Solving “What came first the chicken or the egg?” with #RStats. whatcamefirst <- c("🥚","🐔" ) sort(whatcamefirst, decreasing = FALSE) # > [1] "🐔" "🥚" The answer is Chicken :) Mystery solved, thank you R #RStats
