The @CRANPolicyWatch cronjob once again at work, and it is worth highlighting the snippet below. Maybe we are at last moving to proper conditional use of Suggests:'ed packages.
As I argued here, nearly three years ago: dirk.eddelbuettel.com/blog/2… …

Some preferences, the obligatory `fortunes::fortune()` call plus a simple (earlier) version of 'source from directory' now also in the `startup` package by @henrikbengtsson Newer real settings are now in the spurced dir.

A little cooking makes a nice end to the week: Carne asada burrito casserole. (Truth be told I cheated and marinated the steak since last evening.)
@hrbrmstr : your move

New draft paper I worked on in December aiming to update the older JSS survey paper. Feedback most welcome!

And big big thanks to @henrikbengtsson and @axiomsofxyz for some initial discussions, comments and suggestions.

Glad to be of help, and feel free to give proper credit -- and while the Rocker Project (at rocker-project.org/) is twittlerless, the crew of @cboettig @eddelbuettel and @noamross is not.
Really thankful for the team that maintains the Docker project for R (rocker). Was able to get an R-devel build up and running with tidyverse + RStudio to diagnose a tough new bug in just a few minutes. Magical stuff!

The low-hanging fruit of 'mute when x % of tweet is hashtags (and tweet at least z chars long)' may become very valuable during the election year as I already hand-muted a number of clearly political bots spamming #rstats.

While CRAN may be "resting" (and upgrading tools), package managers never sleep.
So please see the ghrr drat for
- Rcpp: a snapshot 1.0.3.7 (next version in March)
- BH: a bugfix 1.72.0-3 (will go to CRAN next week)

First ever Waterfall Glen loop with both daughters. Longest ever run for Julia who also insisted to round the 9.5 miles up to make it 10.

There must be a long German word for that feeling when you tell yourself "sure, I just install code from the .deb and see how it goes" and then naively adding extensions eats up a quick 220mb before you said beep ...

The bug was reported + fixed before R 3.6.0, see the list archives, or of course the R sources.
As I told @lemire over DM (which I prefer over yelling here) his mistake may be the restoration of prior session settings. Try pristine R as I did with the Docker example. No bug.

Indeed, see the NEWS file. On my box with R 3.6.2:
R> set.seed(42) # just to fix things
R> x <- sample(1717986919,1000000, replace=TRUE)
R> table(x%%2)
