Dear @Bloomberg @BW : I tried to purchase this week's issue w/ @matt_levine 's 40k word treatise on crypto. Only to find that a neither a decently-stocked grocery store nor an equally-well stocked bookstore have it. I live in near-suburb of a global metropole. Can you help?

Yes! I have spoken in high praise about `ag` aka The SilverSearcher before. Extremely fast, and clever (i.e. knows to skip `.git` dir backup files etc). Excellent interface from my editor too.
`ripgrep` is an alternative.

Congratulations!! As usual we created the
- official @Debian r-base package
- PPA builds for @Ubuntu 20.04, 22.04
- rocker/r-base:{4.2.2,latest} containers
- official @Docker r-base container (PR pending)
providing four ways to enjoy #Rstats 4.2.2 pre-made
#rstats 4.2.2 "Innocent and Trusting" (source version) has been released. (The truly impatient can find it in cran.r-project.org/src/base/…, others need to wait for CRAN to update)

Correct in principle and for 'standard' programming languages with two boolean values.
But because #rstats has three (!!) you are actually better of using either one of
isTRUE()
isFALSE()
which are also instructive to look at in source (one liners, just hit RETURN)

Beides :) Aber #rstats twitter passiert dann doch zumeist auf Englisch so dass Du eventuell lieber umschalten solltest.

Had lots of fun talking to the (Edmonton) YEGRUG about #r2u earlier tonight, including a live demo installing #tidyverse, #brms and #Seurat in one command leading to about 180 binaries installed -- in about 30 seconds. Gotta love #r2u.

We will be getting into the meaning of "meaningful" here soon but I take those 888 bytes and counter with 488. No ERROR, WARNING, or NOTE with `R CMD check --as-cran` (using `rcmdcheck::rcmdcheck` via a convenience wrapper from `littler`):
