As a decades-long subscriber, I would welcome that, and my students might too. The url of the webview (linked from the email) has a very throwaway feel so I wasn't banking on it. Building a CMS or blog may feel like a pain but it would really useful. Let's hope it happens!

Hey @ECONdailycharts that lovely piece by @jamesfransham you emailed in the "Off the charts" newsletter on how and why #Rstats rocks: it there a publically visible URL we can reference ? (And I pondered that question for earlier pieces too...)

Same quartet, same year (likely same tour?) and a *completely different yet equally awesome* version of 'Cantaloupe Island' from Stuttgart:

Found on @YouTube just now: a splendid rendition of the beloved 'Cantaloupe Island' by @herbiehancock @DeJohnetteMusic @PatMetheny @TheDaveHolland live in Philly in 31 years ago. The entire concert video is excellent, this closer *rocks*.

Try
> example(ChickEgg, package="lmtest")
which is about as good as it gets for a (literal) chicken-and-egg problem illustrating Granger causality reasoning.

See the tweet below -- it can work very well and eg I (very publically via cron) run #RStats code from 14 years ago (CRANberries) every hour and from 8 years ago (CRAN Repo Policy bot) daily.
"The biggest piece is minimizing your dependencies, and limiting them to ones that value backwards compatibility."
While primarily about 'low-upkeep' software, this generalises to #rstats in #production, to #reproducibility and to good #science.

Just saw the same thing at @derspiegel but attributed to Habeck and the Greens. Still smart either way :)

Word. Sent this to my daughters who are either already in grad school or thinking hard about going 😂
Might have to warn my undergrad students too.

Point them to RStudio Cloud which, while no longer free for 'unlimited use', is still free for 'a few' hours, enough for you here, and only an easy login away.
Similar tricks work for Google Collab. Maybe your employer has something on their cloud too.

A weekend tweet from an arcane thread about `sd()` and what-was-then: I dug up R 2.15.3 with little effort from binaries using @Docker and @Debian's snapshot archive to illustrate how things were 8 1/2 years ago.
It's nice that we can do this to check. #rstats
Basically, yes. And warned of deprecation in 2.15.3.
(@Docker used with @Debian oldoldstable along with the incomparable snapshot.debian.org made this easy-ish. No compilation needed.)
