"Klopp gets that football is not real life. Guardiola gets that, actually, it kind of is." -- "HeisenSoccer"
Wild stat in another @guardian piece: Klopp’s team have collected 337 points from 144 games while Guardiola’s have won 338 in 144 matches [...].

The vignette of package `parallel` (which comes with R) is underappreciated and a really solid intro: `browseVignettes("parallel")`.
My STAT 447 course (stat447.com) covers it as well in one lecture, last fall's version is here: uofi.app.box.com/s/r781z067f…

As I recall, @JennyBryan made a pretty compelling case for this pattern of 'default first, if to modify' at useR! in Brisbane. Always having a default value is good.
And sometimes the crispness of
foo <- if (cond) value else othervalue
is nice too in #Rstats. Use either :)

Congrats to @dselivanov_ et al for RestRserve release 1.0: an awesome package scaling #Rstats to thousands of concurrent REST requests per second (think `plumbr` on steroids). My 15s of fame here are from having suggested use of Rserve years ago...

Thanks again to @NISS_DataSci for inviting me to give a virtual tutorial on #Rcpp for extending #RStats with @isoCpp. Slides are (as usual) on my talks page at
dirk.eddelbuettel.com/talks.…; the video recording should be(come) available for NISS affiliates.
Join us on Friday, March 25 for the Rcpp (R and C++) virtual tutorial by Dr.Dirk Eddelbuettel， Principal Software Engineer at @tiledb and adjunct Clinical Professor at @IllinoisStat.

Endorse! This sounds a lot like the first four weeks of my STAT 447 (cf stat447.com) course! If someone wanted get in touch to offer this as a day-long workshop my arm could likely be twisted.
The rest of Mike's thread is good too, as usual 😉
I'm not yet qualified to give advice on the job market, but if you're an academic hoping to hit the ground running as a data scientist in industry, here are some potentially useful tips:
‣ Round out your programming skills–be okay or comfortable with git, bash, SQL.

Please help test #RStats 4.2.0
I added a first alpha release to @debian unstable: `apt install -t unstable r-base-core` will get it. I also updated the #RockerProject r-base container with tag 4.2.0. I plan to update them every few days until release on April 22. Please test.

Not really a conda user myself but I recently verified that using `mamba` via the condaforge/mambaforge container allowed me to run
mamba install -y r-$NameOfCRANPkgHrere
without issues a given #RStats package and all its dependencies. Maybe that will work?

I just hurt myself biting so forcefully into a (toasted) everything bagel that a seed flew into my eye.
There, that is the tweet.

There are many ways: base #Rstats reads files and dirs as vectors, has file.info() + regexps, parses datetimes, ...
A few years ago I gave a (jokingly titled) talk "R for SysAdmins" showing this (using @rdatatable) at @mattgodbolt's OSOM.

Yep. Also used for the fastest (if obscure) moving average over a (time) series which is why it always was so annoying the function got stomped upon. Namespaces are precious, and warnings matter.

To clarify: while there is a Pusbullet browser plugin, the R package (like other API clients) works with the backend and does not involve the browser. So it works headless (say, at AWS), in scripts, via cron, ... you name it. But powerful and flexible for alerts and result.

The #Rcpp webinar / talk is happening in three days from now, and registration is still open (and inexpensive overall, cheaper still for students and free for those at NISS partner institutions). #rstats

And due to some very fine autoMAGIC code by @github and @letsencrypt the site is now also being served via https. Very nice, and thank you!
