Thanks to @Rami_Krispin and his colleagues for having me talk #Rcpp (and #rstats) today. Slides are available at the usual spot at dirk.eddelbuettel.com/presen…

It's not about rounding. It's about POSIXct not keeping TZ information---whereas POSIXlt does.

It is almost blasphemy when @spotify runs an ad, and the application display only rewrites part of the previous song. Because as @mcbridesworld would ascertain (thanks for that *awesome* Jazz Night in America playlist, btw), John Coltrane did not play "Daisy Sour Cream"....

Seconded -- @BrodieGaslam is a wizard and we had good luck combining `diffobj` with the wonderful `tinytest` package (by @markvdloo) in out `ttdo` package: unit testing with clean #rstats object diffs.
{diffobj} lib in #R @rstudio allow to compare objs (even complex) and view differences side-by-side: diffobj::diffPrint(target=dataset, current=dataset2) In pic1 the output (one value diff in row1) In pic2 an example with two complex lists of tibble objs very handy! #Rstats

That's very kind of you to test. The package _itself_ does little (other than squat on lots of sectors of your disk) but it is the _reverse dependencies_ that matter. So if you don't author a package against it, no worries. Thanks though.
Once again #rstats release candidate test help needed: #Boost 1.75.0 was released yesterday; I just made the (annual) update to BH 1.75.0-0. So if you use BH, please test it via the #ghrr drat: Rscript -e 'install.packages("BH", repos="ghrr.github.io/drat")'

The most important thing in the programming language is the name. A language will not succeed without a good name. I have recently invented a very good name and now I am looking for a suitable language. - D. E. Knuth, 1967

The #RockerProject provides two images updated each weekend: rocker/drd -- a little smaller rocker/r-devel -- initial one, larger In both please use `RD` not `R` as they also contain r-release along with r-devel. Happy piping! #rstats
Hey, #Rstats is there a development version of R 4.1 prerelease available on #docker which I can play with... I want to see how new \() and |> symbol work...
