youtube.com/95BGd_hxvNU Whatever your personal beliefs & your hopes & dreams may be, if we’re going to survive this moment as a country we need a leader with some sense of decency, dignity, basic competency. Which is something that’s been pretty much absent for the last 4 years.

Brilliant:
When the euro bank notes were designed, they used European-style bridges which were *non-existing*, not to have to choose between countries.
The Dutch town of Spijkenisse claimed them all for the Netherlands by building them on a waterway.

"Open Source is free like a puppy"
Don't know who came up with this saying, but it is so very true.
One thing to keep in mind, not everyone should own a pet.

Today's PSA for us #rstats package developer who cannot add "non-portable" flags to `src/Makevars` because of "Policy":
Use this in `~/.R/check.Renviron` (and also in `~/.R/check.Renviron-Rdevel`). (Line break added for tweet. Void where invalid. Recycled electrons only.)

Always nice to see CRAN included in such important and truly challenging efforts to collect, preserve, and share software "for eternity" in a maintainable way.

Paraphrasing an old saying:
- the best time to plant a tree^Hlearn Emacs was 20 years ago
- the second time time to plant a tree^Hlearn Emacs is today.
We are very inclusive and do not mind if you do it for magit or any of bazillion languages.
#emacs #opensource #rstats #cpp
Me: "Let me get some work done."
*opens up GitKraken*
"Shit, license expired, let's try something new. People seem to like Magit."
*installs magit*
"Shit, I better learn emacs."
Instead of working, I'm spending the night learning emacs. Didn't see that coming, but here I am.

Mark your calendars - there are 50 days until Election Day 2020. Visit HeadCount.org to make sure you’re ready to vote. You can request a mail-in ballot, find out how to vote in person, either during in-person early voting or on Election Day. Don’t wait another day.

Come on now, we're Economists. It got to be an auction-based mechanism.
And as I am writing this from Chicago it also already follows that there is no five dollar bill on that street as it would already have gotten picked up.... So the existing format is fine. News at 11pm.

As always, that depends. I do have answers there that are a decade old that still hold up well.

Since Strava removed the feature for non-premium accounts and it was on my project pipeline anyway, I built a script that measures similarity between runs to find duplicate paths:
