Thank you @bgreenwell8 -- but credit where credit is due! This is co-written with @ilustat as a variation on his earlier 'gsir' and best seen side-by-side as comparison. Choice of tools is a very good thing, never-ending debates notwithstanding. #rstats

This Getting Started in R guide by @eddelbuettel is pretty good and shouldn’t be overwhelming: github.com/eddelbuettel/gsir…

You may have been thinking of the 'curlies versus parens versus ...' example computing 1/x different ways which I used a few times in Rcpp tutorials. It goes back, if memory serves, to Christian Robert. I can dig up a reference if someone truly cares.

Congrats on another @QuantLib release! And as we usually do, package and shipped to @Debian as a source package---and this time also sent to my @Ubuntu PPA for a 20.04 "focal" build. launchpad.net/~edd/+archive/…
#QuantLib 1.19 was released today. Thanks to all contributors! Get it at <quantlib.org/download.shtml>. List of changes at <quantlib.org/reference/histo…>.

Ensure you run a recent @RStudio, I have 1.4.615. Use Tools -> Global Options -> Pane Layout, or View -> Panes -> Pane Layout then 'Add Columns'. This screenshot is from @Ubuntu 20.04 on a ~ 5 year MacBook Air I "inherited" so it's "just" 1440 pixel. #rstats

And when I write 1.4.165 I mean 1.4.615. Interestingly, works the same in @RStudio Server here seen in Chrome on my same machine. Now, the question we all have is: How many source panes will @robjhyndman span over his two *much* fancier and higher-res monitors? #rstats

Running @RStudio 'nightlies' build 1.4.165: - two added source columns on the left monitor - leaving the usual four panes on the right monitor - fairly "manual" scaling to two screens. #rstats

I have decided to give back to my #Rstats community. All packages uses snake_case notation and two-space indents will be repaired with doubled spaces and proper camelCase. I am only doing a maximum of 50 packages. iamreallyjustpointingoutthatIhavenobluecheckmark Enjoy!
