And today, for good measure, as we just had the daily repository update. Screenshot also shows the `wajig update` step and speed (4s as I am lucky enough to have fiber) #rstats #r2u

Another hidden gem when using `apt` to get your CRAN packages for #rstats via #r2u? Paired with a stateful (meta) package manager such as `wajig` by @KayonToga, you get easy views of "what is new". Screenshot is from laptop from yesterday.

Replying to @KirkegaardEmil

It can be. It all depends "where you go to play". Below is a gif showing `install.packages("tidyverse")` on Ubuntu -- getting you all binaries, and all dependencies, automatically, reliably, fast. It just works. See eddelbuettel.github.io/r2u/ for more. #rstats #r2u

More fun with #r2u and r-universe: Installing #rstats package dev versions _as binaries_ in Ubuntu. Today's example is @duckdb (dev version) 8.0.0. In 24s #r2u (via `bspm` by @Enchufa2 ) resolves need for CRAN package `DBI` as #r2u binary and fetches @duckdb universe build.

New #r2u feature: Install r-universe 'jammy' binaries with full resolution of binaries from #r2u .deb binaries! Quick example installs `tiledb` from r-universe (a micro release ahead of CRAN) in 27s, all binaries, using a new `littler` helper script. #rstats

Fast or slow for #rstats CI? In Jan I blogged about a comparison between the exact same thing "tiny" (via `RPostgreSQL`, few depends) or "tidy" (`RPostgres`, more). Updated chart from still-running weekly GHA below. Details at dirk.eddelbuettel.com/blog/2… Waiting is a choice.

Chat*whatever thinks I am a Finance prof (nope), have degrees from Kaiserslautern (nope), LSE (nope), and UCSD (nope). But hey on the upside it didn't mangle my name. So those machines better be learning some more. Kudos to my colleague @jermdemo for the find.
