Some preferences, the obligatory `fortunes::fortune()` call plus a simple (earlier) version of 'source from directory' now also in the `startup` package by @henrikbengtsson Newer real settings are now in the spurced dir.

Definitely recommended. I've attended the last 2 years. Each time, I learned a lot on quant modeling, and thoroughly enjoyed the camaraderie. "The shape of the table" (old negotiating pt with VN) makes it easy for newcomers to meet people.
There's still time to submit your proposal to speak at R/Finance 2020!

We also need your help getting a diverse set of presenters:

A little cooking makes a nice end to the week: Carne asada burrito casserole. (Truth be told I cheated and marinated the steak since last evening.)

“This brief review covers OpenMP and Intel TBB at the cpu- and compiler level, moves to process-parallel approaches before discussing message-passing parallelism and big data technologies for parallel processing.” #Rstats
New draft paper I worked on in December aiming to update the older JSS survey paper. Feedback most welcome!

Glad to be of help, and feel free to give proper credit -- and while the Rocker Project (at rocker-project.org/) is twittlerless, the crew of @cboettig @eddelbuettel and @noamross is not.
Really thankful for the team that maintains the Docker project for R (rocker). Was able to get an R-devel build up and running with tidyverse + RStudio to diagnose a tough new bug in just a few minutes. Magical stuff!

The low-hanging fruit of 'mute when x % of tweet is hashtags (and tweet at least z chars long)' may become very valuable during the election year as I already hand-muted a number of clearly political bots spamming #rstats.

The end of a decade is a good time to reflect on an important lesson from #datascience: if you die or go missing your friends & family will fill that missing value with someone average and the outcome for them will be mostly unchanged.
Happy New Year!

While CRAN may be "resting" (and upgrading tools), package managers never sleep.
So please see the ghrr drat for
- Rcpp: a snapshot 1.0.3.7 (next version in March)
- BH: a bugfix 1.72.0-3 (will go to CRAN next week)
More ghrr info at ghrr.github.io/drat/

First ever Waterfall Glen loop with both daughters. Longest ever run for Julia who also insisted to round the 9.5 miles up to make it 10.

There must be a long German word for that feeling when you tell yourself "sure, I just install code from the .deb and see how it goes" and then naively adding extensions eats up a quick 220mb before you said beep ...

The bug was reported + fixed before R 3.6.0, see the list archives, or of course the R sources.
As I told @lemire over DM (which I prefer over yelling here) his mistake may be the restoration of prior session settings. Try pristine R as I did with the Docker example. No bug.
