It can! As I showed (only half-jokingly) in my 't4' series last year when demonstrating running `byobu` (for persistent sessions) inside the _terminal_ tab of RStudio. See here for last year's seven 't4' posts. They complement this new ess-intro series. dirk.eddelbuettel.com/blog/c…

Retweeting for the morning crowd, adding URLs: - ESS Intro site ess-intro.github.io/ - Blog post dirk.eddelbuettel.com/blog/2… #rstats #EmacsSpeaksStatistics
Announcing 'Introductions to Emacs Speaks Statistics' A new website (and @github org) with videos and slides about #Emacs and the #EmacsSpeaksStatistics mode for #Rstats. Come and take a look, peruse the material, and join in to create some more.

You probably want Rcpp::clone. Quick example below, note how the internal address changes because we invoke Rcpp::clone(). #rstats #Rcpp

That may have been biostars.org/ backed by the code in github.com/ialbert/biostar-c… But my gut feel is that a _course_ is too small a population to meaningfully interact, review, vote, aggregate, ... Worth a try though.

That was my recollection too (which I sent to HB via DM). High-fidelity testing of the packages in the emerging repositories is a key driver in how #Rstats started to have code archives that mattered, and which grew tremendously because of this focus on ensuring code quality.

Script installRSPM.r in littler automates this. See the gif below (where I have to say 'focal' to get the LTS, I am non-LTS 'groovy'). We also have rocker/r-rspm for this (but I think rocker/r-bspm is cooler). #rstats #RockerProject

That is an underspecifiied request: which distro and release? Say you use the PPA by Michael then ... you _may_ hit the fact that ~ 5k r-cran-* packages is less than 17k at CRAN. So some will be missing. More pointers here, and I recommend bspm:

This use case of _effortlessly_ getting #Rstats package binaries onto @Ubuntu has been covered in a few blog posts (and videos). You can start here and scroll down: dirk.eddelbuettel.com/blog/c… We also wrote about bspm here: arxiv.org/abs/2103.08069

Regarding tmux: I recorded a few short videos last year on 'Tips, Tricks, Tools, and Toys' -- command-line proficiency on Unix -- and videos 4, 5 and 6 cover tmux (via byobu) incl 'sessions'. Short writeups / slides: dirk.eddelbuettel.com/blog/c… and videos: youtube.com/channel/UCgn_wsL…

Better to ask on the #rcpp-devel list than here but here you go: > Rcpp::cppFunction("NumericVector myrep(double val, int n) { return rep(val, n); }") > myrep(NA_real_, 3) [1] NA NA NA > myrep(3.14, 2) [1] 3.14 3.14 > Hint: Search among unit tests.

Not alchemy, just careful use of standard recipes: For 1) and 2) you want to learn about the -v and -w switches to Docker. For 3) as _you alter the container_ you need to write it out again which `docker commit` does. #rstats #RockerProject

Look what a happy smile kiddo #1 has! High time for a "when I was your age it was uphill both ways in the snow" rant as nobody sent a note about my grad school cohort. Then again, there was no @Twitter either as @timberners_lee was about to unveil these hypertext tubes. 🙃
Thank you to our amazing graduate students for being the glue that holds @TheSquishyLab together, venturing out into the great unknown of scientific research to make incredible discoveries every day! We appreciate you! #WithGRADitude

Or see `help(unzip)` (from base package `utils`). #Rstats. Quite some batteries included too.

From now on, each of my CRAN #rstats package releases will also be available as an NFT providing a unique blend of #fintech and #opensource. Take that @github sponsors program!
