AsioHeader 1.22.1-2 on CRAN: Small Update Cross-platform C++ library for network and low-level I/O dirk.eddelbuettel.com/blog/2… #rstats

Milestone: one million packages served by #r2u. For #Rstats on Ubuntu, all CRAN packages as binaries "fast, easy, reliably" from a well-connected mirror, all dependencies resolved via `apt`. I will talk about this tomorrow at the Cleveland RUG; a video may be forthcoming.

Orthogonal: #r2u offers a complete .libPaths() for the default (current) #Rstats, with full dependency resolution, as binaries, fast. That, Just. Works. You can combine it with different R interpreters if you set their .libPaths(). They may complain about newer package builds.

<Cough, cough> If only, #ChatGPT3. Your training data appears to either be five years out of data, or poorly edited: There was a bit of a black eye five years ago. But this years showing was much improved. Onwards to 2026 when North America hosts. #worldcup #usmnt
Replying to @mikelove
Yes! Plus if you use it (as documented on the #r2u website) with `bspm` (an optional but recommended package) then you can do from #Rstat install.packages(c("data.table", "DESeq2")) and get everything FAST with ALL DEPENDENCIES automatically. Just ran it here: ~ 10 seconds.

I had good luck with Suggests:, even couples with the Additional_repositories: line in DESCRIPTION, and proper conditional use behind `if (requireNamespace("pkg", quietly=TRUE))`. That may be an option here as long as `cmdstanr` is at arm's length only.

Apropos of events this week I tricked the much-talked about ChatGPT into stating that soccer is futile when we all know *that ball is life* (and many countries are in tears, the way it goes every four years). #worldcup #soccer

The tweet had no EPL takers in January, but I could still make my services available to any interested national soccer federation. I am already familiar with Germany and Canada, and could make myself available to Mexico, Belgium or other counter country. #soccer #worldcup

Dear Everton: I was born not too far in time and space from Juergen Klopp, Thomas Tuchel, and Ralf Rangnick. I am available, I still speak German, and I bleed Fussball. What else do you need to know before I become the next EPL Manager?

That said, I also follow CRAN carefully -- and wrote the CRANberries rss/html feed for it which I read, and which is also on this birdsite at @CRANberriesFeed. Ditto with R Devel changes (via rss, once set up by Duncan Murdoch) and my @CRANPolicyWatch bot.

GitHub development tends to be (much) more granular (as we are asked to space out CRAN uploads to e.g. no more than six in six months -- making CRAN coarser). So I follow things I am interested in at GitHub. Plus, you can finetune notifications per repo.

First family run in New Jersey. And an honest 10k to boot.

You can try qlcal: I abstracted the (time-tested) operators out of QuantLib do have a lighterweight #rstats package just for (business/exchange) calendaring. github.com/qlcal/qlcal-r

♥️ "Squinting at a graph is fine for getting a rough idea of the answer, but if you want to pretend to know it exactly, you neeed statistics." Maybe just what we should put on the #Rstats website ...

And yes, a typo as @psolymos noted: that should read 20,000+ CRAN #rstats packages, along with the 240+ BioConductor packages now at release 3.16, with full system dependencies all just one install.packages() -- or apt install -- call away on Ubuntu 20.04 and 22.04.

#r2u has updated its 240-ish `r-bioc-*` packages to the recent @BioConductor release 3.16. #r2u serves over 20,00 `r-cran-*` packages with full system-dependencies for @Ubuntu 20.04 and 22.04 along `r-bioc-*` packages. More (incl demos) at the site. eddelbuettel.github.io/r2u/
