Good piece by Colin on a topic I riffed about a few times as far back as 2017 at dirk.eddelbuettel.com/blog/c… The new new thing are the binaries of the @RStudio Package manager, available for multiple platforms. Are these useable outside of a RSPM subscription? #rstats

Grrr. 0.4.16. R> fortunes::fortune(112) I think we can reject the null hypothesis of "Dirk can type" at all convential significance levels. -- Dirk Eddelbuettel (after several users including himself had misspelled Ubuntu as Umbutu or Ubunto) R-help (April 2005)

There is nothing to it. It is just `r-base` aka `rocker/r-base` -- which already knows about Debian testing (its default) and even unstable (should you need it). So just launch the container, say `apt update; apt install gcc-10`.

The attention to details such as these by R Core is one of the under-appreciated gems for R. Better high-performance computing (startup) performance coming with R 4.0.0. More at developer.r-project.org/Blog… #rstats

We're disappointed to announce that this year's R/Finance conference is cancelled. We hope COVID-19 is no longer a global threat in June, but we don't know the extent that international travel and large gatherings will still be discouraged. #rstats #rfinance
