Data Science. TileDB. Open Source. Quant Research. R. C++. Debian. Linux. Adjunct Clinical Professor, University of Illinois. Lots of coffee. And some running.
Finally read this, cover to cover, in a day, a few years after it came out. Michael Lewis has an unparallel ability to weave stories together. This collection of three essays has a really strong common theme of trust in science, public service and the power of data. Recommended.
"Some praise for r-ci"
"We've been running this for 6 months on Azure - and it has performed without any hiccup whatsoever [...] a valuable alternative for people who want a no-frills R CI setup which relies mostly on Base R!"

Big thank you to the whole @_useRconf team for a great #useR2021!
I remember when the Zurich team had to decide whether to go hybrid (ie w/ 2 "classes" of participants) or fully online to turn it into the most international, diverse, and inclusive useR! ever.
And WOW they did!
Big shutout to everyone organizing, but also taking part in this years #useR2021. Even only virtually I had the opportunity to meet a lot of interesting and creative people.
Looking forward to see all of you and join #useR2021 + x again!
.@aaronwolen & @eddelbuettel are at #useR2021 and will present a #rstats@TileDB tutorial, covering package basics to examples for genomics, time-series & LiDAR. Join at 4:45pm EDT (track 3) to see how TileDB arrays make data management universal for R dataframes, matrices & more
I agree, and had to look it up as I couldn't remember. (Upper chamber also matters relatively less. Key feature is still the 1/2 first-past-the-post and 1/2 proportional rep (plus 5% cutiff) in the lower chamber which is good.) Then again I've been gone some time now...
Good point but a little mellowed by the fact that the numbers of votes in the Bundesrat are still proportional-ish to state size. But yes, not having Bremen and Hamburg swallowed by, say, Lower Saxony is a "feature" for the SPD or Greeens.

The `tinytest` package actually has most excellent "skipping" facilities thanks to `exit_file()`, and its wise design decision to have all test files being #RStats scripts. So whatever is computable in an R script can be a condition to skip -- which I use aplenty in my packages.
Through a recent random act of kindness, @petersagal introduced me to a local bagel shop's delights. I now have an additional stroopwaffle problem from picking up a half dozen bagels.
And two very smooth and fast automated #RStats package admissions at CRAN which works so well for normal packages with moderate reverse-dependencies. So allow me to add another #ThankYouCRAN for two smooth admissions this week. (RcppGSL needed an URL update I had forgotten...)
Join us for a live workshop on how a universal #datamanagement system based on multi-dimensional arrays can be a game-changer for managing, analyzing, and sharing massive #LiDAR data. Ask Stavros, the original creator & CEO of TileDB, your hardest Qs! hubs.ly/H0QBS8C0
