12 hours left for completing your registration for CelebRation2020!⏲️The #ggplot2 workshop is now sold out. But if you hurry, you might be able to get a ticket for the #rcpp workshop, where @eddelbuettel will teach you about speeding up your R-code with C++ ⏩
RProtoBuf 0.4.15 on CRAN: One bugfix, some polish, a deprecation plan
An R interface to Google Protocol Buffers data serialization

See the blog post for details on a deprecation plan for a very minor feature.
#rstats#rcpp#tinytest
It seems that the answer does not coincide with difftime() gives.
Below is a shorter @rdatatable solution which gives the same answer as base R.
data.table(now=Sys.Date())[
, st:=as.IDate(paste0(year(now)-3,"-01-01"))][
, d:=difftime(now,st)][]
#rstats
Love you for all you do, @climagic.
See our 'littler' project which sparks command-line joy via the 'r' command bringing #rstats and the R language to the command-line since 2006.

Hey, what are you doing for the next hour or two? Because you could be settling in to watch TLC, Kris Davis, Tia Fuller, Linda May Han Oh and others LIVE from Berklee, via @checkoutjazzwbgo.org/post/terri-lyne-car…
If you love open source Python, and have a little time on your hands, please consider helping to add a @tiledb backend to @xarray_dev - it'll help out loads of projects, and it's bleeding-edge stuff :) The Xarray devs can give friendly pointers!

Thanks for the retweet of the Rockerverse draft paper!
But please also consider giving credit to lead author @nordholmen and coauthors as eg in this tweet:
Today 2020-02-02 is a #palindrome day (ignoring punctuation) when written using the ISO 8601 format YYYYMMDD. It's the 47th day with this #symmetry in the last 1,000 years or so. See blog.sumymus.de/palindrome-d… for a nice summary and when the next ones are coming.
In fairness easy to install and scriptable (cf littler scripts below, h/t @cboettig and our Rocker work).
But it is minor nuisance that _everything else_ on my machine updates (near) daily via one command, yet RStudio desktop and server need extra steps.

Just installed @brave browser on @ubuntu. Always good to have choices.
Looks decent and fast, installs via an apt-get'able repo
[btw @rstudio it has been a decade, we're still waiting for that, love, dirk]

That comment is not helpful, and not true or relevant for the gcc10 email I got from CRAN. Which clearly said that a now-optional check (available under gcc9, easy to enable, it showed how) will be mandatory in gcc10. Hence the suggestion to fix now before things break for real.
