Realized it had been two months since I had a pint from a tap so cycled over to Oak Park's @BeerShopHQ and got myself a growler of @OldIrvingBeer Beezer and life got so much better in an instant.

The @Prince "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" solo from the RnR HoF induction is superb.
This weekend only we have something else. A fabulous 1995 Prince & The Revolution concert with a surreal 20 min "Purple Rain" guitar solo. Watched it twice already...

Base R faster than Rcpp. (Happens on [some] vectorised code...)
data.table faster than everybody else. (Not uncommon ....)
@jb_duckmayr "proves" it in a fine @stackoverflow answer.

The hero we have, not the hero we deserve.
@marutterstat is up to over 2000 binary CRAN packages for @Ubuntu 20.04 aka "focal"; growing steadily.
Plus @Ubuntu 18.04 aka "bionic " stands at 4400.
All for your #rstats R 4.0.0 goodness.

Thanks so much! And if I may, we PR this image upstream each time so you can just do
$ docker run --rm -it r-base
which is just so much shorter, prettier, and enjoyable 😉
(Doesn't hold for the other Rocker containers though.)
#rstats #RockerProject
🐳The rocker/r-base image now has R 4.0.0
Rocker project's base R Docker image was recently updated to R4.0.0. Great news for all who need to test their #rstats applications in a containerized way
💲docker run --rm -it rocker/r-base
Thanks @eddelbuettel et al. for all the work

The official 'r-base' for @Docker is now at R 4.0.0.
As the underlying package awaits a 'transition' into @Debian proper (along with rebuilds of all reverse depends), one cannot yet install prebuilt r-cran-* packages (from R 3.*) so install from source.

My *favourite* day of the year.
Also: My birthday.
But I am so old that I only care about Jazz Day.
International Jazz Day is this Thursday! Due to the ongoing pandemic, the 9th annual worldwide celebration will be held online and include free educational masterclasses, children's activities, and discussions along with the virtual global concert! jazzday.com

That was most excellent. Thanks you so much for sharing your house with us, and offering a live concert.
[ I thought it was weird that you went all @milesdavis on us not talking or announcing a single title. Then again, no band to introduce 😉 ]
