Want better #rstats syntax highlighting on @StackOverflow?
I’ve started an overhaul of the R lexer used by @highlightjs, (which will soon be the syntax highlighter used by Stack Overflow). Feedback & help appreciated:

Sonny Rollins is 90 today! If you follow me, you are probably in agreement that he’s one of the greatest musicians on the planet. You may also know that he’s one of our finest humans. Here’s a modest little story I’m fond of, for reasons that will be obvious 🎷 🧵 👀

Nobody got the subtweet.
But letting the rock roll panned out in the end.
And the song (and album) are still frigging fantastic and near-permanent rotation here.
Sisyphus peered into the mist
A stone's throw from the precipice, paused
Did he jump or did he fall as he gazed into the maw of the morning mist?
Did he raise both fists and say, "To hell with this" and just let the rock roll?
@andrewbird, Sisyphus

Congrats @daniela_witten as you can now claim (at least co-)authorship on an @xkcd joke!

We have a shorthand "7.31" for that in #Rstats due to the somewhat legendary entry for Question 7.31 in the R FAQ.
Also Chrome autocompletes '7.31' when I type 'r faq' 😇

Complaining does help sometimes. Still better to try to fix. Upon which others can layer better fixes.
See #rstats bug report #17828 reported (with patch) by me in June, kindly improved upon by @bastistician in July, and just closed by Kurt Hornik.
It's easy and cathartic to complain (I'm as guilty of this as others). Much harder to do something to move toward a solution.
But, as @eddelbuettel has said, "Complaining works!" ;-)

The slides of my Keynote at the virtual @unecestat meeting on Statistical Data Editing (Cleaning) are online together with the excellent presentations of all participants. I talked about abstraction and composition when designing #rstats tools.

This is full of good advice applicable both in a wider context but also when thinking about R extensions.
