Just had a great time at #useR2020 learning about using C++ in R using Rcpp with @eddelbuettel. Now for an @opendatamcr workshop on how to access open data through APIs using R with @r_solymosi ! So much R!

New `-use-LTO` flag in R-devel to enable link-time optimization (i.e. "whole program optimization") for packages. This will likely add a few percent in performance at the cost of slower compilation. #rstats

The #Rcpp interface is one of the most seminal changes to happen to #rstats. As someone who has used the native API, there is no question that Rcpp is by far the simplest way to include compiled C++ code in R packages, affording its power to many more users. Thanks, @eddelbuettel

The @CRANberries service is currently 'behind' because something broke at CRAN: - Packages being added to src/contrib/ - but the PACKAGES.* files are not updating - per-package webpages for new packages missing. I notified the CRAN team. But weekend being weekend... #rstats

One of the things I learned as a @KITKarlsruhe undergrad is that (Alsacian) Flammkuchen is absolutely awesome. This is one of three pans I just made for Anna, Lisa and myself US-style with Trader Joe pancetta, vidalia onions, and, of course, creme fraiche.
