That is (again) a nicely patient timeline to only warn several years after removing from (documented, visible) APIs -- so thanks #RStats Core, and thanks too for generally keeping long timelines between deprecation and removal, and _of course_ for so proactively adding checks.

R^4 #035: apt install rstudio quarto Setting up a 'truly personal package archive' for RStudio dirk.eddelbuettel.com/blog/2… Short post on how to make `rstudio`, `rstudio-server`, `quarto` available for `apt install` and `apt upgrade`, with link to GitHub repo. #rstats

Not to forget that all of this is of course still open source so it takes about the time it takes to tweet to download, edit, and then install a variant that will work under the slightly-outdated and by April even more outdated R 4.0.*.

The package does not have an explicit dependency declared as R (>= 4.1.0) so `update.packages()` does not know. So this may be a subtle bug in the `quantreg` package and we could let its maintainer (/cc @rkoenker) know. cloud.r-project.org/web/pack…

I was really smitten with "Uneasy" when it came out in 2021 that I listened to it non-stop. But to see @vijayiyer, Linda May Han Oh and Tyshawn Sorey each win the poll for piano, bass and drums, and to win small group is ... a Jazz "Grand Slam"? @natechinen, can you advise?
This is wild. Thank you, @jazztimesmag 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 Come celebrate with us this week at @vanguardjazz (which was, incidentally, voted “best club”!) linktr.ee/vijayiyer @ Village Vanguard instagram.com/p/CZMjQ-HrLa-/…

Big, big Thank You! and congratulations to (apparently mostly twitter-inactive) @Aymeric_Stamm for taking over #RStats package `nloptr` from (entirely twitterless) Jelmer Ypma and taking care of updates for nloptr 2.0. CRAN made sure everything was done to spec, as usual.

No special magic: run Emacs with ESS (has few lines of config / preferences; I used the same since the 1990s). Emacs 'daemon' mode + server / client setup is independent of ESS and works with everything which is nice. Otherwise we did this last year: ess-intro.github.io/

Congratulations to @julia_edd on completing her first day in her new gig as a *senior* programmer analyst at @jhsph_hpm, mere weeks after graduating from @policycornell. Here is a picture of her walking into the office.

I see your two RStudio sessions, and I raised you nine (named) ESS buffers inside a long-running Emacs in daemon mode with a number of Emacs client sessions :) Plus an active SQL connection to Postgres. And a bazillion other Emacs buffers. #rstats

And here is a quick animation showing - one command to launch the Docker container - one command to refresh `apt` indices - one command to install `rstan` as binary - one command to launch #Rstats and load `rstan` Really works as advertised 😀

Lecture slides for my 'Data Science Programming Methods' course STAT 447 from this Fall 2021 at U of Illinois are now accessible via stat447.com covering shell (incl sed/awk), markdown, git(hub), sql, lots of #Rstats up to packaging, and Docker. Enjoy!
