That's what I do :) Glad to hear you find it useful.
First time using @eddelbuettel's #rstats 📦 {anytime} and I might just use it _all the time_ 🙌github.com/eddelbuettel/anyt…

No much slicker as previously discussed on r-devel and shown again today by Bill Dunlap: > deparse(quote(mtcars |> subset(cyl == 4) |> d => lm(mpg ~ disp, data = d))) [1] "lm(mpg ~ disp, data = subset(mtcars, cyl == 4))" > "Look, ma, no side effects"

Nicer still with ligatures (here via #emacs using @nordtheme)

Upcoming native pipe for R will support a lambda-alike operator '=>' when data needs to be assigned: mtcars |> subset(cyl == 4) |> d => lm(mpg ~ disp, data = d) which is quite nice and avoids the backslash lambda-alike. See @LukeTierney4 on r-devel just now. #rstats

CRAN is handling an impressive load, and I just wanted to say "Thank You!" for fully automated processing of a (bug-fix, due to change in another package) release of `RcppArmadillo`. Initially stuck in pretest, the rest is quick given the 802 reverse dependencies. #rstats

It may have taken 4 1/2 years but now even the @wsj editorial page is at long last "tired of winning". wsj.com/articles/donald-trum…

Nice work! My favourite example of this (and your follow-up) is still @matt_dz on the Fibonacci example via ... a compile-time Fibonacci recursion with a run-time of zero and a similar 'inifite' gain. His slides are still at speakerdeck.com/mattpd/natur… #rstats #rcpp

Which then lead to the two (!!) examples in RInside using Qt on the desktop and Wt (!!) on the web as of which are in the package and the repo. cran.r-project.org/package=R… github.com/eddelbuettel/rins… But kudos also to @hrbrmstr for his nice ggplot2 theme in the Swift demo. #rstats

Yes. It depends on how you host it / how much mad unix skillz you have. I scripted things that check by broadband connection etc pp. It's Unix. Everything can be scripted. You can do it locally or remotely; you can support a heartbeat service, ...

If you miss the #linux @twitter client @corebird, good news: @cawbird is a new fork, and I just installed a fresh binary on @ubuntu (thanks to @OBShq) github.com/IBBoard/cawbird

Allow me to join the fun. Long pattern of naming (unix) hosts: first miles (@milesdavis) in 1994). Last three all pianists also in the book: brad (@bradmehldau), rob(ert) (@robertglasper) and vijay (@vijayiyer). With the book and more listening I should have plenty of supply :)

Let's close a rotten year on a high(er) note with a heartfelt recommendation for one of the best books I read: "Playing Changes" by @natechinen: A bit name-droppy yet full of (new to me, should explore more) very current music suggestions. playingchangesbook.com/

My wife has a neat paper out today in @JAMANetworkOpen looking at the one unique case of a sugar-sweetened beverage tax coming in *and* being repealed within a few months (which happened here in Cook County, IL). jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…

No as I am a) lazy (so I want it packaged somewhere, here I took the Debian unstable package) and b) careful as Emacs is used to read mail, write code, interact with R, git, the world at large. So I tend to not live with bleeding edge OSs :)
