You are very kind. The transition within @Debian for "officially" taking over #rstats from @BatesDmbates was gradual as I had started to assist him with patches years earlier.
But I do think I have a genuine 20-year anniversary for my 1st CRAN package coming up.

Asymptotically we will block everybody at which point Twitter will have become an email provider.
But they are currently so dumb and use multiple popular hash tags ("maximize eyeballs") that it really is like shooting fish in a barrel. Hence the 10min function, and high 'crit'.

No need for a Bayesian spam filter: the genius of the @csgillespie post was to just count hash tags.
What I need to add is a query about who is already blocked and then I have all for a cron job. Peace at last!
(#stats spam wave y'day, I used the function on 20+ senders).

I had placed a modified version of the @csgillespie function, with ample @rdatatable use, into a helper function in my `dang` package. This identifies the candidates, now I added a `post_silence()` function for mute + block + spam_report.
#rstats
A variant of the 'mute people with nc hashtags posts among n posts using term' function by @csgillespie is now in my `dang` package in a #tinyverse form requiring only #rdatatable.
To use it, make sure your Twitter token can read+write. Mine was still on read-only...

Remember when @csgillespie showed an function for `rtweet` by @kearneymw to find hashtag spammers?
Tired of manually muting, blocking, spam reporting I added functions to
post_mute_nf (mute w/o follow)
post_block
post_spammer
which took ten minutes. Yay.

Endorse -- just made this Dijon and Cognac Beef Stew as kiddo #2 goes back to her campus town in two days.
Takes a bit of time but fairly little effort, well worth it.

And @knapply_ and I have shown that `RcppSimdJson` can run quite a few performance circles around `jsonlite` (which remains wonderful and tested and complete but also quite a bit slower).

Thank you CRAN for smashing through another 1k barrier: now over 17k well-curated, always installable packages for us #rstats users. It's huge. And we appreciate it.

Note that you need to use `RD` to launch r-devel. `R` is r-release. A common gotcha.

Could we have R 4.0.4 show a 404 error page, and release R 4.0.5 instead? Because interwebs?
Looking forward to a final 4.0.* release before the upcoming changes in 4.1.0 in three months.
#rstats
#rstats 4.0.4 has been scheduled for February 15.
Details, including nickname, on developer.r-project.org
(or svn.r-project.org/R-dev-web/… for the impatient.)

Congratulations on shipping 1.21 on 2021-01-20. We will never win over off-by-one errors.
@Debian package built and shipped. (Unofficial) @Ubuntu package for 20.04 in my PPA. And #rstats package RQuantLib (aka "what #Rcpp was initially created for") builds unchanged.
#QuantLib 1.21 was released today. Thanks to all contributors!
Get it at <quantlib.org/download.shtml>. Release history at <quantlib.org/reference/histo…>.
