Well I have meant to write about that! I use
- persistent shells: byobu (by @dustinkirkland)
- emacs in persistent daemon mode, clients in both x11 + tty (ie byobu)
- many tools + scripts, some littler based
- on current Ubuntu (macOS should work)
One day I'll blog about it.

Always great to see a former @GSOC student do well -- congratulations to @LeahFPrice for a new @arxiv paper and CRAN #rstats package!
And glad to see #rcpp and Armadillo are still of help :)

Following @robtibshirani 's tweet thanking the CRAN team for providing this foundation for all of us to lean on: a big Thank You! to the team in Dortmund, ie Uwe and Swetlana, who processed over 500 packages just since the Xmas break -- including 80 new packages.
Thank you!

BH 1.69.0 release candidate for CRAN
A blog post describing the reverse depends tests done so far, the three regressions and simple fixes. With this the BH subset of Boost 1.69.0 should be ready for CRAN "shortly".

I would not describe my position as preferring copying and sourcing. I was simply stating some clear costs to dependencies. But "it's complicated" and I am not selling silver bullets either.

Good reminder but also don't completely discount mailing lists which are easy enough to setup at places like @groupsio or Google Groups -- and may help to create a more lasting group of supporters than one may get via @StackOverflow or @Github.
Helpful reminder: if you have a question about how to use an open source library, try stackoverflow. Keep github issue trackers for folks who believe they have found a bug or would like to make a feature request.

PSA: Switched on three machines to "Nord", a gorgeous and (new to me) family of themes for multiple apps and editors. Screenshot below for what matters to me: terminal and Emacs (and Emacs in terminal, of course).
