We're teaching that to the intern!
@kiiirchner: saving grad school and post-doc'ing, so beers on you :)
.@rdpeng The most important thing I learned back in my postdoc days: if the results are really cool, I probably fucked something up.

Nice result but how likely is it that the 10% gain is (partly) due to @GaborCsardi mirroring all of CRAN on GitHub?
#rstats is @IEEESpectrum's 'big mover', moving from 9th to 6th place from 2014-15 spectrum.ieee.org/computing/…

Congrats to the Stan team to get rstan onto CRAN.
(And it would be nice if they also cited BH and RcppEigen...)

The Rcpp support is indeed really impressive!
Need to speed up your R code? We now have full C++ support (incl. diagnostics and completion): blog.rstudio.org/2015/04/14/…

Welcome to the club!
Some of us have been doing open source software (incl Finance), for years. Glad you joined.

@stefanbache We mostly see this on Windows where exception handling is *really* difficult. We are still working on it. Reprod. bug report?

@ethanwhite Or, as alluded to, add PPA by @marutterstat and do 'sudo apt-get install r-cran-devtools' and you're done. Nothing is easier.

@ethanwhite Sorry but you are spewing fud, and I now regret that I engaged here. I can only a hangout chat (if you care) once back in NA.
