RcppArmadillo 0.10.2.2.0 on CRAN: Minor tweaks R bindings to powerful and expressive C++ matrix library dirk.eddelbuettel.com/blog/2… #rstats #rcpp

CRAN is handling an impressive load, and I just wanted to say "Thank You!" for fully automated processing of a (bug-fix, due to change in another package) release of `RcppArmadillo`. Initially stuck in pretest, the rest is quick given the 802 reverse dependencies. #rstats

r^4 #32: Portable CI with r-ci Run the same CI at GitHub, Azure, Travis, or on Docker without vendor lock-in. Blog post with slides and video link: dirk.eddelbuettel.com/blog/2… Video: youtube.com/watch?v=W5yYkfFK… #rstats #ci

Which then lead to the two (!!) examples in RInside using Qt on the desktop and Wt (!!) on the web as of which are in the package and the repo. cran.r-project.org/package=R… github.com/eddelbuettel/rins… But kudos also to @hrbrmstr for his nice ggplot2 theme in the Swift demo. #rstats

Which, credit where credit is due, was inspired by the tkdensity.R demo in base R package `tcltk` by @pdalgd plus my addition of a mixture distribution for 'moar' eye candy.

STAT 430 "Data Science Programming Methods" just concluded its third run. A big congrats to all students: your projects were very impressive! And a very big Thank You to my two awesome TAs. Next fall we will be back as STAT 447 -- our new course. @IllinoisStat

I upgraded my "operating system" today! Emacs 27.1 with added vterm support is wicked! See the gif (maybe in a new tab) with htop, #byobu, #Rstats devel with pipe and lambda---all inside an Emacs vterm. To try, use @Ubuntu 20.04 binaries from my PPA: launchpad.net/~edd/+archive/…
