In a sane world, the government would deliver a small 📦 to every person in America. Each month: face masks, gloves, a pre-paid debit card, testing kits, information about how to vote by mail. All delivered by USPS.

The RPushBullet package can:
- works on any OS (via a REST API)
- integrates well with Chrome notifications
The @pushbullet team have been behind it for a few years, you only need a free account.
Support for many languages including #rstats

Just wrote 1.3M rows of 85 variables to separate csvs named/grouped by ID with a single line of code. I love #rdatatable!!
setDT(DT)[, fwrite(.SD, paste0("user", unique(userid),".csv")), by = userid, .SDcols=names(DT) ]

Good tweet to keep around for students.
Picking dependencies matters. Sometimes change is unavoidable, but selection of tools is part of good design.
Eg @CRANberriesFeed runs (by now hourly) for close to thirteen years, and I never have to touch the (base R + RSQLite) code.

Thanks to the @metoffice @informatics_lab for their fantastic collaboration in their evaluation of TileDB for cloud-ready geoscience data. Check out @_DPeterK_'s blog here tinyurl.com/rxrkew6. Handling 1000s of NetCDF files into a single logical array was no small feat.

Check out CRAN Release blogpost of @nathaneastwood_ 's #rstats poorman📦
"Another reason for developing poorman is I wanted to challenge a common misconception that base R is not as powerful, or as good, or as useful as dplyr. Too often I see and hear comments belittling base R"

littler - A scripting and command-line front-end is provided by 'r' (aka 'littler') as a lightweight binary wrapper around the GNU R language and environment for statistical computing and graphics. While R can be used in batch mode, the r binary... #rstats github.com/eddelbuettel/litt…

Using code from @topepos, tidy tools from @rstudio, {anytime} from @eddelbuettel, and {trelliscopejs} from @hafenstats, I built a cognostic-guided EDA tool for exploring COVID-19 cases and deaths by state in less than 50 lines of R. #rstats #rmedicine bit.ly/2UMHJbV
