With recent noise about 'Orphaned' packages at CRAN, a heartfelt Thank You! to @GaborCsardi for adopting lpSolve.
CRAN quality is what we make of it as a community---under the invaluable stewardship of the CRAN maintainers. As always a really big thanks to CRAN too.

New (unofficial) @Debian font package: @jetbrains Mono
github.com/eddelbuettel/pkg-…
Another very nice coding font, see jetbrains.com/lp/mono/
Clone the repo and run `runMe.sh` to create a `.deb` package for easy install and uninstall.

Remember, random number generators will eventually produce all sequences of data, including the data you just collected that appears to yield an exciting result.
Don’t get your hopes up.

This is simply amazing. @lemire is a great follow if you're interested in getting the most out of your hardware... or if you like to read about exceptional engineering.
New (experimental) repo with Rcpp bindings for the awesome simdjson library by @lemire and @geofflangdale

Currently does little but JSON validation, but that it does *very quickly*

Three vectorised simulation approaches to the “Monty Hall Problem” in R:
1. Base R
2. Tinyverse - data.table
3. Tidyverse - dplyr & tidyr

This is truly magic stuff.
Just yesterday, in one of my repos I was able to created a branch from a contributed PR, made changes, and pushed back to the PR's initial master.
All from the comfort of my #emacs session thanks to @magit_emacs and GHub.
Highly recommended.
I have just released Ghub v3.3.0. It's mostly just a bug fix release but because it works around a nasty Emacs bug its pretty important anyway. 🥱🥳

Dear CRAN,
Where do I report a @CRANPolicyWatch violation ?
Spotted thanks to the RSS version of @CRANberriesFeed over at dirk.eddelbuettel.com/cranbe…

The @CRANPolicyWatch cronjob once again at work, and it is worth highlighting the snippet below. Maybe we are at last moving to proper conditional use of Suggests:'ed packages.
As I argued here, nearly three years ago: dirk.eddelbuettel.com/blog/2… …
