Pretty good piece: "America could do with a demonstration of grace and wisdom in public life, and Joe Biden is the man for the job. [...] He can liberate himself to be what biology and politics are making him, and what America needs—an elder statesman."

It is a rite of passage. Program sufficiently much with #rstats and you will most likely fall into an 'R FAQ 7.31'-shaped hole. Holds with other programming languages too, unless you operate symbolically.

A complaining tweet I did not send a few weeks ago (hi @joshua_ulrich 😃) was whether I was more annoyed with @betterment trying to sell me [asset class imploding again this week] or @spotify trying to get me to listen to [apparently popular angry old men] podcast. Both are icky.

That would another (somewhat compliated by extra structure overlayed) entry for R FAQ 7.31

It was great fun be part of yesterday's @CANSSIOntario Statistical Software Conference put together so well by @RohanAlexander. My talk on #r2u may have struck a cord as we are blowing out download number today. More on #r2u at eddelbuettel.github.io/r2u/. Slides at my webpage.

To me by launching a new process -- easiest with `r` and `Rscript` and pretty much the motivation for littler, and my preferred way to test things. Quick check at the shell, leaving main work sessions (plural, ESS in Emacs) alone.

A big *Thank You!* to John Mount of @WinVectorLLC for coming to STAT 447 this afternoon for a rocking guest lecture on 'Data Science: Street-Fighting Statistics'. The video link is below, background and slides are at stat447.com/guest_lectures/. #RStats

Following the RSS summaries of r-devel changes, I am aware of a fairly larger number of cleanups at the datetime (POSIXt types) level. See eg the link below for today's summary (in not so pretty html) and scroll back a bit. I suspect this to be related.

I think I would start with a plain (command-line !) `curl` request and start from there. Possibly something is filtered out on the different code paths you are looking at.

Smiling about this all day and just wanted to make sure that whoever at the @guardian is responsible for the caption 'footballer is on the left' gets his due. This was after all on the sports / soccer pages. #legend

Yes, several times over the last decade. With a server OS of a variant supported by RStudio with pre-made binaries, it is pretty quick work for anyone familiar with system administrations tasks on such a server. I always used Ubuntu. RStudio has more docs. #rstats

I sometime ponder this for student projects:
- take a cut off, say N=5 or 10 years
- take popular #rstats package from then
- extract its examples, tests, vignettes
- run these and summarise yay/nay
- in a first pass report success probabilities
- ...
