If you are a @Wilco fan (and really, who isn't?) then these eight minutes of @NelsCline and Derek Trucks (@DerekAndSusan) shredding "Impossible Germany" are going to be the best eight minutes of your day.

Excellent and thank you!
The @Debian package has been update, convenience @Ubuntu builds for 20.04 and 22.04 are in my PPA, the #RockerProject r-base container has been updated, and a PR made as usual from it for the official @Docker #Rstats container.
#rstats R version 4.3.0 "Already Tomorrow" (source version) has been released. (You can find it in cran.r-project.org/src/base/…, or wait for CRAN to be updated.)

Congratulations on a new and smooth release!
Corresponding @debian builds are in 'experimental' (as there is a release freeze), @ubuntu jammy builds are at my PPA. The 'qlcal' calendering spin-off for #rstats has been updated and submitted to CRAN too.
#QuantLib 1.30 was released today. Thanks to all the contributors!

I have been listening to him non-stop for two days. Yesterday's celebration of life by @WKCRFM was wonderful.
It's eery that the (former) Pershing of the famed 50s concert is a 10 miles bike from where I am now, and that Marseille was such a book end for me three decades ago.
"Marseille
Je marche souvent seul dans tes rues
Et trop souvent, j'y ai disparu
Marseille
Mon cœur si seul cherche ta caresse
Car ma vie est trop remplie de tristesse"
Rest in peace, Ahmad Jamal. 92 years young, gone too soon.

Another #r2u demo: We install the #runiverse binary of r-#polars with r-#arrow -- as Ubuntu binaries, with all #arrow package dependencies, in maybe twenty seconds max, from a single R command (plus one to set a repo variable). What's not to like?

`svn blame UseMethod.Rd` pins this to commit 24500 with a revision in commit 38429.
These were made, respectively, in Nov 2005 and May 2003. In other words, "yes, that was the thinking twenty years ago". Sometimes things change.

Does anybody know of a Chrome plugin replacing a certain dog with, say, a little blue bird, maybe even one giving a finger? #askingForAFriend #notReally

a) Nothing ever disappears from CRAN, there is an Archive section
b) I have used R and CRAN for decades and I have gotten by very well by not relying on packages that are or were removed
c) You can also create local / personal repositories, see my `drat` package

Billion-dollar business idea: Use `uuidgen` for company names. Now taking calls from angel investors.

Another hidden gem when using `apt` to get your CRAN packages for #rstats via #r2u?
Paired with a stateful (meta) package manager such as `wajig` by @KayonToga, you get easy views of "what is new". Screenshot is from laptop from yesterday.

It can be. It all depends "where you go to play".
Below is a gif showing `install.packages("tidyverse")` on Ubuntu -- getting you all binaries, and all dependencies, automatically, reliably, fast. It just works. See eddelbuettel.github.io/r2u/ for more. #rstats #r2u
