Today is the 30th anniversary of me leaving Germany for two semesters in France, which turned into two more, a PhD during which Canada became home before moving to the US.
Also 30th anniversary of what moved my last exam a day off Oct 3rd so read @JeremyCliffe on the new country

Use the simplest "static webcompiler" you like (they exist in all scripting languages), push to GitHub Pages.
Done.

"Forecasting remains difficult, particularly about the future."
Glad I got to demonstrate that again.
Since I said that @_lionelhenry showed possible R parser changes at DSC/ @useR2018_conf and @LukeTierney4 discussed possible implementations at the virtual @useR2020stl

Today's PSA for us #rstats package developer who cannot add "non-portable" flags to `src/Makevars` because of "Policy":
Use this in `~/.R/check.Renviron` (and also in `~/.R/check.Renviron-Rdevel`). (Line break added for tweet. Void where invalid. Recycled electrons only.)

Always nice to see CRAN included in such important and truly challenging efforts to collect, preserve, and share software "for eternity" in a maintainable way.

Paraphrasing an old saying:
- the best time to plant a tree^Hlearn Emacs was 20 years ago
- the second time time to plant a tree^Hlearn Emacs is today.
We are very inclusive and do not mind if you do it for magit or any of bazillion languages.
#emacs #opensource #rstats #cpp
Me: "Let me get some work done."
*opens up GitKraken*
"Shit, license expired, let's try something new. People seem to like Magit."
*installs magit*
"Shit, I better learn emacs."
Instead of working, I'm spending the night learning emacs. Didn't see that coming, but here I am.

Come on now, we're Economists. It got to be an auction-based mechanism.
And as I am writing this from Chicago it also already follows that there is no five dollar bill on that street as it would already have gotten picked up.... So the existing format is fine. News at 11pm.

As always, that depends. I do have answers there that are a decade old that still hold up well.

Nobody got the subtweet.
But letting the rock roll panned out in the end.
And the song (and album) are still frigging fantastic and near-permanent rotation here.
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
