No disrespect to nix, but this is a) a problem we had solved in Debian/Ubuntu a decade ago and b) made easy more recently via #r2u. I just ran docker run --rm -ti rocker/r2u:jammy \ Rscript -e 'install.packages("xlsx")' and of course it just worked. Try it. #rstats

The biggest issues are toolchain changes, as well as following updates to the spec used 'at that other site we all follow'. I had started with a pair for clang and gcc and at some point last year the clang one stopped building. So yeppers, maintenance ahead ...

This tweet constitutes my bi-annual "Thank You!" 🙏 to @winston_chang for his sumo-style container which once again let me chase and pinpoint an ASAN/clang issue my own ASAN/gcc container did not tickle. Also, CRAN is awesome in its rigour. #rstats github.com/wch/r-debug

The University of Kyoto in Japan allows students to wear anything they want for their Graduation ceremony. This is the way.

Even better that is Oak Park (aka Chicago's first and hence oldest suburb) and hence technically outside the city proper. I am about a mile over in River Forest and now a happy 20+ year resident of the area.

Fantastic. I shall put these on my reading list. Been here 23 years and still trying to understand the place better than I do. (And still have regrets I never managed to meet @vahavb when she had your post.)

The CRAN Policy Watch account is demi-dead as I cannot have the cronjob post but his first change in just about a year is significant enough to do it manually: a new link to a new 'Using Rust in CRAN Packages' document. #rstats #cran
New CRAN Repository Policy rev5686 posted, history at github.com/eddelbuettel/crp/… #rstats This adds a link to a new 'Using Rust' document at cran.r-project.org/web/packa…

That's trolling, Gabor. I have R jobs on cron running for a decade+, I have designed / written / owned R-based pipelines in production. There is a "doctor doctor it hurts when I do this" element coming from a subset of the #Rstats universe. "So don't do use that."

How it started (Baltimore, 2022) How it is going (Oak Park, 2023) Many thanks to @MattDEisenberg for giving @julia_edd an academic home at @bsph_hpm once she graduated @CornellBPP. I will now continue riff on her being unemployed (as of today). Temporarily at least.

Please do not crosspost. I already answered / commented on your SO question. You will get yourself more karma points if you do your homework first rather than outsourcing that several times over to busy volunteers.

Did anybody do a 'value over replacement' analysis for the Nate to Elliott swap?
