It may have taken 4 1/2 years but now even the @wsj editorial page is at long last "tired of winning".

Nice work!
My favourite example of this (and your follow-up) is still @matt_dz on the Fibonacci example via ... a compile-time Fibonacci recursion with a run-time of zero and a similar 'inifite' gain.
His slides are still at speakerdeck.com/mattpd/natur…

Which then lead to the two (!!) examples in RInside using Qt on the desktop and Wt (!!) on the web as of which are in the package and the repo.

But kudos also to @hrbrmstr for his nice ggplot2 theme in the Swift demo. #rstats

Which, credit where credit is due, was inspired by the tkdensity.R demo in base R package `tcltk` by @pdalgd plus my addition of a mixture distribution for 'moar' eye candy.

Yes. It depends on how you host it / how much mad unix skillz you have. I scripted things that check by broadband connection etc pp. It's Unix. Everything can be scripted. You can do it locally or remotely; you can support a heartbeat service, ...

They say Riemann is the name Gauss used to publish some unsatisfied papers.

Time for some nihilist New Year's resolutions.
Quote this tweet with a #datascience themed resolution that is, in fact, utterly hopeless. Me first:
"All of my analyses in 2021 will be reliably reproducible." 😒

Allow me to join the fun. Long pattern of naming (unix) hosts: first miles (@milesdavis) in 1994). Last three all pianists also in the book: brad (@bradmehldau), rob(ert) (@robertglasper) and vijay (@vijayiyer). With the book and more listening I should have plenty of supply :)

Let's close a rotten year on a high(er) note with a heartfelt recommendation for one of the best books I read: "Playing Changes" by @natechinen: A bit name-droppy yet full of (new to me, should explore more) very current music suggestions.

As Harvard's @maya_sen wrote at the very beginning of the outbreak: ""Anyone who thinks that Americans won’t stomach a daily drip of preventable deaths hasn’t been following gun control debates."
One thing I will never understand. In 2020, we let ~340,000 Americans die, sometimes in the thousands per day. And we watched. There were no protests, no daily banner headlines befitting a national tragedy on this scale. It's as if we watched 9/11 in a loop for 300+ days. 1/

I finally had time to watch @j_v_66's keynote talk for the @whyRconf conference, and it is really, really good. Highly recommended if you're interested in #rstats as a language. #rstats youtube.com/watch?v=VdD0nHbc…

My wife has a neat paper out today in @JAMANetworkOpen looking at the one unique case of a sugar-sweetened beverage tax coming in *and* being repealed within a few months (which happened here in Cook County, IL).

Are you fluent in R? Can you build statistical models and write clean copy? We're hiring a data journalist and a data-journalism trainee econ.st/3ayde2R

STAT 430 "Data Science Programming Methods" just concluded its third run.
A big congrats to all students: your projects were very impressive! And a very big Thank You to my two awesome TAs.
Next fall we will be back as STAT 447 -- our new course.

No as I am a) lazy (so I want it packaged somewhere, here I took the Debian unstable package) and b) careful as Emacs is used to read mail, write code, interact with R, git, the world at large. So I tend to not live with bleeding edge OSs :)

Then please don't look at my 170+ official @Debian packages 😉

I upgraded my "operating system" today! Emacs 27.1 with added vterm support is wicked! See the gif (maybe in a new tab) with htop, #byobu, #Rstats devel with pipe and lambda---all inside an Emacs vterm.
To try, use @Ubuntu 20.04 binaries from my PPA: launchpad.net/~edd/+archive/…
