Delayed tweet / blog post as I was out at the lovely @celebRtion2020

And the @Debian (source) package has been prepared and uploaded -- for once while being in the same room as @pdalgd on the very happy occassion of @celebRtion !
@Ubuntu packages to follow once @marutterstat gets to it.

One option: use Docker image r-base (same as rocker/r-base)
It uses @Debian testing which has gcc 10 now. So
apt-get update
apt-get install gcc-10 g++-10 gfortran-10
then adjust your package. "We all" need to work on replicatin CRAN's setup better.

Nice overview of the 'new data economy' in @TheEconomist by Ludwig Siegele (aka @EconoScribe): new tech, new data sources, new goverment response, new challenges, possibly new markets, likely new snake oil salesmen -- a useful survey

Watched the first two: the @tvaneerd talk about 'Postmodern C++' is just fantastic.
About programming, what is said and unsaid in code, lots (LOTS) of Dr Seuss (!!), some Derrida (!! -- whom this @EHESS_fr grad never read) and more puns than you can shake a stick at.
Superb.
R-devel now officially has 'raw' character constant strings like C++ as it just made the NEWS.Rd file (and its nightly RSS feed). Thanks once again to @LukeTierney4 for what may become quite widely used.

Or keep an older version of package:roxygen2 around that manages to build Rd files just fine without requiring package re-compilation---as my `roxy.r` helper does.

Small #Rcpp + @RStudio beginner tip.
If you configure your project build tools to roxygenise at each "Install and restart", your Rcpp code will be compiled with debug flags and no optimisation.
To make your code fast again, choose "More" > "Clean and Rebuild".
