RProtoBuf 0.4.15 on CRAN: One bugfix, some polish, a deprecation plan
An R interface to Google Protocol Buffers data serialization
dirk.eddelbuettel.com/blog/2…
See the blog post for details on a deprecation plan for a very minor feature.

It seems that the answer does not coincide with difftime() gives.
Below is a shorter @rdatatable solution which gives the same answer as base R.
data.table(now=Sys.Date())[
, st:=as.IDate(paste0(year(now)-3,"-01-01"))][
, d:=difftime(now,st)][]

Love you for all you do, @climagic.
See our 'littler' project which sparks command-line joy via the 'r' command bringing #rstats and the R language to the command-line since 2006.

Just caught this after its start and tremendously enjoyed the last two hours on the stream. So very well done.

Hey, what are you doing for the next hour or two? Because you could be settling in to watch TLC, Kris Davis, Tia Fuller, Linda May Han Oh and others LIVE from Berklee, via @checkoutjazz wbgo.org/post/terri-lyne-car…
Thanks for the retweet of the Rockerverse draft paper!
But please also consider giving credit to lead author @nordholmen and coauthors as eg in this tweet:

In fairness easy to install and scriptable (cf littler scripts below, h/t @cboettig and our Rocker work).
But it is minor nuisance that _everything else_ on my machine updates (near) daily via one command, yet RStudio desktop and server need extra steps.

Just installed @brave browser on @ubuntu. Always good to have choices.
Looks decent and fast, installs via an apt-get'able repo
[btw @rstudio it has been a decade, we're still waiting for that, love, dirk]

That comment is not helpful, and not true or relevant for the gcc10 email I got from CRAN. Which clearly said that a now-optional check (available under gcc9, easy to enable, it showed how) will be mandatory in gcc10. Hence the suggestion to fix now before things break for real.

With recent noise about 'Orphaned' packages at CRAN, a heartfelt Thank You! to @GaborCsardi for adopting lpSolve.
CRAN quality is what we make of it as a community---under the invaluable stewardship of the CRAN maintainers. As always a really big thanks to CRAN too.

This is truly magic stuff.
Just yesterday, in one of my repos I was able to created a branch from a contributed PR, made changes, and pushed back to the PR's initial master.
All from the comfort of my #emacs session thanks to @magit_emacs and GHub.
Highly recommended.
I have just released Ghub v3.3.0. It's mostly just a bug fix release but because it works around a nasty Emacs bug its pretty important anyway. 🥱🥳

Spotted thanks to the RSS version of @CRANberriesFeed over at dirk.eddelbuettel.com/cranbe…

Better-than-usual mid-week fare: Chicken Fajitas for one -- my better half is at a work function, and the kids are out of town at college anyway.
