Lovely day for a bike ride today---and having made it to Evanston a few weeks ago I pushed a little past Hyde Park the other direction today.

Fresh @Ubuntu builds are at my PPA (launchpad.net/~marutter/+arc…), soon to be mirrored to CRAN. And don't forget c2d4u (launchpad.net/~c2d4u.team/+a…), 4,700+ R packages in deb form.

And @Debian packages are being uploaded now, with @Ubuntu to follow soon thanks to @marutterstat -- and #RockerProject base containers a little later.
I like doing this on Saturday. Keep it here, cute numbers or not.

And for a tweet tri-fecta: an BSPM example using `rocker/r-bspm:20.04` to install the (sometimes gnarly) `rgdal` package in ONE command in about ONE minute using binaries. Fast, easy, cheap, reliable.

Also since yesterday on CRAN as part of littler:
installBSPM.r
installRSPM.r
Both take R package names and install binaries---fast!
For BSPM: full dependencies (~ 4600 CRAN .deb binaries), for RSPM across more OSs but w/o deps.
I use BSPM in CI now.

Another excellent option is #BSPM by @eddelbuettel, which includes system dependencies 👌🏼

Today is the 30th anniversary of me leaving Germany for two semesters in France, which turned into two more, a PhD during which Canada became home before moving to the US.
Also 30th anniversary of what moved my last exam a day off Oct 3rd so read @JeremyCliffe on the new country

Use the simplest "static webcompiler" you like (they exist in all scripting languages), push to GitHub Pages.
Done.

"Forecasting remains difficult, particularly about the future."
Glad I got to demonstrate that again.
Since I said that @_lionelhenry showed possible R parser changes at DSC/ @useR2018_conf and @LukeTierney4 discussed possible implementations at the virtual @useR2020stl

With a thank you from @tiledb for your work as it made offering our CRAN package (cran.r-project.org/package=t…) on Windows feasible and a relative breeze.

Thanks to @ryanpkyle for pointing to the right library and @knapply_ for jumping in with advice this task has gone from not completing to taking 8.5s!!
+1 for the #rstats twitter community - and I should really learn more base R before complaining about the language again 😆

@eddelbuettel I love using {tint}. Thanks a lot for creating this package. Last year I showed the HTML created using {tint} to my students and I could hear them gasp.

Last night, I was talking to my dad and telling him I was concerned that 2021 would make us miss 2020. He responded with a Russian saying I’d never heard before: “On average, we live pretty well: worse than last year, but definitely better than next year.”
