Excellent advice I'd say as someone always eager for a new pasta recipe (a student-life staple that stayed on) and life-long apprentice of Italian cooking (bought my first cookbook at 16) who also appreciates a Negroni while cooking.

My go-to frontend for all things `dpkg`, `apt`, `apt-get`, ... for more than a decade. Highly recommended in @Debian and @Ubuntu (and likely all derivatives).
Lovely to hear new work going into it :)
A PPA may be a good idea besides pip.
Wajig (Ubuntu admin support) is undergoing a refresh. Now supports pip install (for the latest). Major update to support fuzzy command matching. Teach/Noop working. Reviewing and simplifying commands. Ongoing review. See wajig.readthedocs.io/en/late… for details. Feedback welcome.

Yesterday's #dssv2020 keynote by @CynthiaRudin was very impressive---and (following extensive discussion of novel work) closed on policy-related aspects of #MachineLearning concluding with the recommendation below.
I recommend watching the recording (once it is up).

Reliable Reproducible Research via Containers from the Rocker Project
Slides from a talk at the (virtual, of course) DSSV 2020 conference. Thanks to Jim Harner for inviting me, and IASC / ISI / SAMSI for running the conference!

Thank you @bgreenwell8 -- but credit where credit is due!
This is co-written with @ilustat as a variation on his earlier 'gsir' and best seen side-by-side as comparison.
Choice of tools is a very good thing, never-ending debates notwithstanding.

This Getting Started in R guide by @eddelbuettel is pretty good and shouldn’t be overwhelming:

You may have been thinking of the 'curlies versus parens versus ...' example computing 1/x different ways which I used a few times in Rcpp tutorials.
It goes back, if memory serves, to Christian Robert.
I can dig up a reference if someone truly cares.

Sisyphus peered into the mist
A stone's throw from the precipice, paused
Did he jump or did he fall as he gazed into the maw of the morning mist?
Did he raise both fists and say, "To hell with this" and just let the rock roll?
@andrewbird, Sisyphus

Website is a "side-effect", I consume the info I generate via subscriptions to the RSS feed and to @CRANberriesFeed tweets.
ChangeLog and NEWS pointers would have been provided from day if we had canonical locations for them. But we don't.

Congrats on another @QuantLib release!
And as we usually do, package and shipped to @Debian as a source package---and this time also sent to my @Ubuntu PPA for a 20.04 "focal" build.

#QuantLib 1.19 was released today. Thanks to all contributors!
Get it at <quantlib.org/download.shtml>. List of changes at <quantlib.org/reference/histo…>.

And when I write 1.4.165 I mean 1.4.615.
Interestingly, works the same in @RStudio Server here seen in Chrome on my same machine.
Now, the question we all have is: How many source panes will @robjhyndman span over his two *much* fancier and higher-res monitors?
