Congrats @daniela_witten as you can now claim (at least co-)authorship on an @xkcd joke!

We have a shorthand "7.31" for that in #Rstats due to the somewhat legendary entry for Question 7.31 in the R FAQ.
Also Chrome autocompletes '7.31' when I type 'r faq' 😇

Complaining does help sometimes. Still better to try to fix. Upon which others can layer better fixes.
See #rstats bug report #17828 reported (with patch) by me in June, kindly improved upon by @bastistician in July, and just closed by Kurt Hornik.
It's easy and cathartic to complain (I'm as guilty of this as others). Much harder to do something to move toward a solution.
But, as @eddelbuettel has said, "Complaining works!" ;-)

A variant of the 'mute people with nc hashtags posts among n posts using term' function by @csgillespie is now in my `dang` package in a #tinyverse form requiring only #rdatatable.
To use it, make sure your Twitter token can read+write. Mine was still on read-only...

Could do with love and updates especially as vowpalwabbit.org is alive and kicking. Spare time is the usual scarce resource though.
Any volunteers know where to file issues :)

Yes, RSPM is nice. But we installed in one command for years. See the video for three different ways of installing rstan and tidyverse: youtube.com/ZnGEhtGBFaE

Open Source can be so amazeballs. Two hours after tweeting the awesome upstream author @gabi_melman gave me two pointers for fixes in the initial issue ticket github.com/eddelbuettel/rcpp…
and we're golden.
"Release early, release often". And talk to people who know their code.

When you finally push something to a public repo that you had on your drive for years, and the upstream author notices and stars it the same day....

Word. I looked into Hugo when @kjhealy blogged about it "way back when".
And I prefer to do e.g. my course site stat430.com in "straight hugo" with a little R etc mostly for code highlighting.
Simpler is sometimes better. Served straight from gh pages. too
