It is more complicated as `paste0(rep('a', 5000), collapse="")` easily creates a longer one. What you found is an (arbitrary but high) limit on a (single) input line in the REPL. If this really mattered to you could probably recompile with a larger constant. #rstats

And if you want to really go for pole position: library(data.table) df.all <- rbindlist(lapply(v.filename, fread)) print(df.all) /cc @rdatatable

Thanks so much to the @zhaw organisers of the 6th European COST Conference on #AI in Industry and Finance for having me present yesterday. Slides of my short talk on #RStats, #Rcpp and #MachineLearning are on my talks page. dirk.eddelbuettel.com/presen…
I am looking forward to talking about #RStats, #Rcpp and #ML at the 6th Europeans #COST Conference on #AI in Industry and Finance organized by four @ZHAW departments. All happening tomorrow, see more at zhaw.ch/en/engineering/insti…

Or if you *really* want to drive the point home: > letters |> toupper() |> tail() |> substitute() |> deparse() [1] "tail(toupper(letters))" >

And the best part, by a mile, is what @groundwalkergmb mentioned: internally it just plain regular code: > deparse(substitute(letters |> toupper() |> tail())) [1] "tail(toupper(letters))" >

Well I do have blog posts and more for easier installations of stan and friends too. Especially if you pick one of the OSs that support ... the awesome automated installed from binaries. See for example dirk.eddelbuettel.com/blog/2… but the r^4 series is full of posts on this.

Confession: Signed up for @letterboxd as @j_v_66 mentioned it as a) good and b) possibly underused. So far, so good. Mostly playing review ping pong with Jan (who surely returns more balls to many others). But then ... this zinger. Putdown of all putdowns? Hall of fame.

Let's say _Thank You Very Much_ for the strategic blunder of StatSoft, sole licensee for the "commercial S" i.e. S-Plus, to then *not* offer a mac version so that two (then young) academics in Auckland went off to write their own... The rest, as they say, is #RStats #History.

Our excess-deaths model, launched this week, is an exceptional piece of work by @Sondreus and @martgnz. The central estimate is that 15.2m deaths have been caused by covid-19, more than three times the official toll of 4.6m

You may be looking for the `conflicted` package. (And you meant MASS::select here.) You can also use selective attaching, either via NAMESPACE in a package, or via library() explicitly choose (or exclude) certain identifiers.

What is the pandemic's true death toll? After months of work, we are launching our daily updating estimate of excess deaths around the world. With official deaths at 4.5m, I estimate the true tally to be between 9.3m and 18.1m, as of today
