It signals the ability of #Rstats to make use of what is often called 'i18n' and switch languages. See below for French, but I failed to get Swedish going.

Been there, done that.
And admired the generosity of a younger Dirk who left a note at StackOverflow right where older Dirk would find in time of need.
There must be a German word for "having forgotten more over the years than I know now". I should ask younger Dirk for it.

You could do worse than start here:
stackoverflow.com/questions/…
In general, search engines can help you.

Yes, R Core / Simon provides this via the 'macbuilder' (using an M1 machine) at
mac.r-project.org/macbuilder…

Here is what I have on a (Ubuntu) laptop that has been running `bspm` merrily for a long time and hence installs binaries via the system manager.

"Fisher is one of the most famous statisticians ever, which is another way of saying he is not very famous at all."
@TheEconomist on Fisher, reflections at Cambridge, and how "The past is another country; they do things differently there." #RStats

The short tutorials by @kwbroman are good, and he has one on `make`:
kbroman.org/minimal_make/
Otherwise lots of standard tutorials, and plenty of examples at GitHub. #rstats

Yes.
Also in the context of packages, package managers, and in this highlighted special case of the (wonderful) CRAN ecosystem for #RStats -- a blog post of mine titled 'less is more' with a nod to Mies van der Rohe.

Excellent. As usual we
- uploaded the official @Debian r-base package
- created @Ubuntu PPA builds for 20.04, 21.10, 22.04
- created @Docker rocker/r-base:4.2.0 and :latest
- created official @Docker r-base PR which is pending
CRAN backports to follow. #RStats
#rstats 4.2.0 "Vigorous Calisthenics" (source version) has been released. (For the impatient: Look in cran.r-project.org/src/base/…)

Congratulations on the new release! The @Debian package for 1.26 has been uploaded, and @Ubuntu builds for 20.04 and 21.10 are at my PPA. And #RQuantLib for #RStats builds unchanged.

Used it for 4 terms of STAT 447 Data Science Programming Methods at Illinois in campus-wide pilot. Good (no setup, everybody has access, generally works well) and bad (new projects needs new git setup, git integration clunky, single point of failure, fees) sides but overall good.

Singing the praises of the @marutterstat PPA and of `bspm` by @enchufa: Installing `brms` by @paulbuerkner on @Ubuntu 20.04 from binaries in *one* shell -- or #RStats -- command.

Found on the wasteland that is L1nked1n: a "proposal" for a hyperloop network. Can I smoke what the graphic artist smoked? Minneapolis between Chicago and Detroit? Berlin south of Hannover? From Houston to Dallas via Mexico City? Toulouse to Barcelona via Madrid? Yelp.

The pub-sub monitoring with Redis and #RStats just got *so much* better thanks to an assist by (apparently twitterless) Paul Murrell who suggested `dev.hold()` and `dev.flush()` when I asked him about 'flicker'. Now butter-smooth double-buffering (cf github repo).
Mesmerizing.
