(IMHO modern C++ was never a thing, there is only nihilist C++, the acceptance that no matter what you do there's always a faster way to do it)

And not faking it as the hourly (and somewhat visible) cron job came in as expected at the next run:

All I knew about ⁦@nxthompson⁩, whom I never met, was that he was about my age, had a demanding journalism job and somehow still became a ranked marathoner. But, ironically, he never told his own story until now. Just wow. wired.com/story/marathon-spe…

And the rocker/r-base:4.0.0 image (based on @Debian testing plus experimental plus a small PPA of mine with R 4.0.0 compatible packages for r-recommended) is now live. #rstats #rocker

New #Rcpp record: Used by every other compiled CRAN #Rstats package. I.e. we now have 50% coverage among packages using compiled code. And a little under 1/8th of all CRAN packages. [Note: So far didn't exclude dupes which CRAN has e.g. pre-release, will fix going forward.]

The R 4.0.0 source packages for @Debian are uploaded. The transition from 'experimental' into @Debian proper will take time; 'rocker/r-base:4.0.0' will be up once we have .deb binaries. And @Ubuntu builds of R 4.0.0 for 18.04, 19.10 and 20.04 are in my ppa:edd/r-4.0. #rstats

#Rcpp just hit 1000 citations per @google scholar -- thanks so much to everybody who relies on #Rcpp to integrate #Rstats and #Cpp, and of course especially to those who contribute code, documentation, testing or suggestions. /cc @jstatsoft

R 4.0.0 arrives in _less than 72 hours_. Test it **now** (on your code). A Docker recipe follows below. #rstats

At @celebRtion2020 the @HeathrTurnr talk used a (free, iirc) service straight off (iirc) github which transcribed live. Pretty high quality---not as good as (human) professional service but impressive. An alternative? The video only shows slides though youtube.com/watch?v=BbpkKzz7…

We have made the disappointing decision to cancel #useR2020 in St. Louis. This has been in process for several weeks, but we have not been able to share details publicly until today. We've appreciated the #rstats community's patience as we've worked on this. 1/5

CRAN is currently in the process of migrating the default toolchain for R 4.0 on Windows to the new rtools40 (gcc-8). There may be a bit of disruption while everything is being synchronized...
