If you'd like to colorize #Rstats terminal output you can use {jalvesaq/colorout}
I customize extra color patterns for
- base R: class for `str`
- #RDatatable row id & column class
- #mlr3 R6 field name
I share codes for .Rprofile. See image & link

The cronjob runs two minutes after the hour. Every hour.
If you provide extra payment, I can look the other way and delay a little.

Release 1.0.4 is now both in CRAN's incoming.
And, as processing times remain unpredictable, also in the Rcpp drat repo at rcppcore.github.io/drat/ from where you can install it now (from source) via
install.packages("Rcpp", repos="rcppcore.github.io/drat ")

My hobby (though @eddelbuettel did all the hard work)
You can use this to embed R inside just about anything, including Stata
Or Octave, Matlab, Fortran, probably even GAUSS if you still use that

Another really nice post.
If you care about fast _and_ correct computing in C++ (and other relevant languages) but don't follow Daniel -- well, then you're doing it wrong ...
Fast float parsing in practice

Nearly fifteen years worth command-line tools for R are in `inst/examples/` of the `littler` repo.
I use several of them daily, and prefer installing, compiling, testing, rendering, ... away from other (longer-runnng) R sessions increases reliability.

One of the most beautiful albums ever. McCoy Tyner, who passed yesterday, on piano. May he rest in peace.
Also nicely paired with the beautiful homage work by @RealKurtElling.

Finally able to catch up to this, and it is fantastic.
Kudos to @stanleynelson1 for an excellent retrospective on @MilesDavis who changed so much in music, and so often.
Streams at pbs.org/video/miles-davis-bi… if you're in the right region (i.e. could not see it in DK last week).
Miss the premiere on Tuesday? Stream the full film here: to.pbs.org/2vi6q7n! #MIlesDavisPBS #AmericanMastersPBS #BlackHistoryMonth

Yes! Related tips:
- use wrappers that encode `Ncpus`, all `littler` ones do
- blog posts about this as even faster than parallel installs are installs that
- use `ccache`
- use binaries instead
- build once, eg in Docker, and reuse
are below dirk.eddelbuettel.com/blog/c…
Quick #rstats Tip: Use `Ncpus` when installing packages
🔹install.packages() has an Ncpus argument determining how many parallel processes to use
🔹This can e.g. speed up installation of {{tidyverse}} from ~11min to ~4.6min
🔹Also works with remotes & devtools install_ functions
