It is *absurd* how good @Ubuntu upgrades have gotten. Even as a @Debian dev I had @Ubuntu on laptop(s) for maybe 13 of the 15 years. Bi-annual upgrades. Going to 19.10 right now: not a single prompt or question (on a ~3 year old laptop with five or six upgrades). Rocking.

That is in response / as a follow-up to @df7cb showing the same in #postgresql but I couldn't reply-tweet with a screenshot ... Also no space for the #rdatatable tag the tweet really needed too.

For code with, say, Rcpp.h and/or Boost headers (which really are aggregated include statements) it wants to break things up into smaller more concise statements---just as stated---so you may encounter a lot of output.

TIL: 'include-what-you-use' is also only an 'apt-get install iwyu' away Then a simple 'make -k CXX=iwyu' reports superfluous and missing #include statements in your (clang-compilable) codebase. Nice one! github.com/include-what-you-… … /cc @lballabio #rcpp

And the @Debian (source) package(s) have been updated, binaries to follow. There will also be an updated Docker container via my RQuantLib repo, and I will likely build Ubuntu 19.04 packages via my PPA.
#QuantLib 1.17 was released today. Thanks to all contributors! Get it at <quantlib.org/download.shtml>. List of changes at <quantlib.org/reference/histo…>.

Exciting announcement for the few of us who write in C for R! @LukeTierney4 announced that R-devel will soon use reference counting instead of 'NAMED' to determine when object will be garbage collected. This should make it in to R-4.0.0! stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-dev… #rstats
