The screenshot shows the current version, also released into the drat repo. I cannot control CRAN admittance speed, but I can and do offer (micro)releases via the drat repo. I urge anybody working with ancient compilers to be familiar with these drat repos. Or else help test.
Replying to @henrikbengtsson
As does version 0.10.1.0.2, released immediately after these issues raised their head. And as stated all it takes to get a micro release from a drat repo is one added parameter : repos="RcppCore.github.io/drat". See the screenshot.

My new blog post detailing a few features from the v0.2.2 and v0.2.3 releases of my #rstats data manipulation package {poorman}. Like {dplyr} but not the dependencies? Check out {poorman}! nathaneastwood.github.io/202…

Another `tidyCpp` shoutout goes to `spdlog` by @gabi_melman: the vignette now has a demo (using `RcppSpdlog`) of the difference between "bad" (assign to `SEXP`) and "good" (instantiate) use of `Protect`. (The `spdlog` init could be common in one file, this was easy ...) #rstats

And the new `tidyCpp` release calls for another shoutout for `minidown` by @Atsushi776 and its 'water' vignette style. Crisp yet small documents, allows for side-by-side code snippets from markdown and more, see cloud.r-project.org/web/pack… for an example. #rstats

Polls can be wrong for lots of reasons: a biased sample, improper weighting or just plain sample variance. The most common reason, tho, is that the universe hates you and wants you to be as miserable as possible before your inevitable death. #datascience #rstats #pydata

Seems like this happened! (h/t @gelliottmorris for the graph)
I've been wrong about plenty of things! I think that public polls are *probably* repeating the state-level error pattern that they saw in 2016, but I really could be totally wrong! Predicting polling error is hard!

Just made a for loop 6000 times faster with the #Rcpp package. Bye, never be writing another loop in R. BTW, likely an interaction with data set size and relative gains... mine was only 10k rows. #rstats

A refinement to yesterday's revision, correcting to 'which="most", recursive="strong"'. As @edzerpebesma noted, the recursion makes this very expensive *very quickly*. @MattDowle proposes using only 'which="most"' which seems sensible -- see example. #rstats

"It depends". Per email from @MattDowle, for Rcpp it goes from 2105 to 2134 which is marginal. For another package he mentioned: from 30 to 53 which is tolerable. There may be a hit for 'mostly Suggests' packages like test runners or vignette processors. #rstats
