Updated grouping benchmark from 2014. It's now automated and uses latest versions. Intention is to run regularly, add operations and improve over time according to feedback. h2oai.github.io/db-benchmark… #rstats #python #ApacheSpark

Did hat a few years ago with just this as the example on the repo page:
RPushbullet::pbPost("note", title="Simulation complete", body=msg)
where `msg` may summarise your simulation run.
See github.com/eddelbuettel/rpus… and on CRAN.
#rstats package idea. Automated message to mobile phone when model finishes sampling.

If you ever worked on just moderately-complicated source packages for a distro, you may immediately recognise just what phenomenal achievement this is:
tensorflow for @Debian, cleanly from sources.
Wow. More at
ftp-master.debian.org/new/te…
New package: tensorflow Version: 1.10.1+dfsg-A1 by Mo Zhou ... deb.li/ikD9V

I would like to congratulate @Amazon on becoming a trillion dollar company.
Now, if I may, could you please spend some quality time with your algorithm so that searches for the @TheNational do NOT lead to either The US Marine Band or the Red Army Choir.

wandbox,org now supports R -- currently released version R 3.5.1 as well as R-devel with nightly builds!
This. Is. Awesome.

wandbox.org looks really truly madly impressive.
So I just filed a wishlist suggestion / request to add R.

PSA: This looks amazeballs! -- wandbox.org/
"Social compulation" service with
- 45 different C++ compilers up to g++ 9alpha
- a few dozen other languages.
Wow. Sources and more at github.com/melpon/wandbox

You can also work with RcppQuantuccia relying in the header-only Quantuccia subset of QuantLib. Still a heavy compilation (hello, templates!) but without the need for a QL library build. Code may be behind the 1.13.1 calendar code in QL though. PRs welcome.

Nice one! Particular for the tinyverse.org focus of no dependency.
Maybe a 'message of the day' alike feature would be better? Cache + regenerate if older than, say, 24 hours -- and otherwise cronjob it to avoid slowdown at startup?
Dep-free scriplet now in my .Rprofile to check status of my #rstats CRAN pkgs. Slows R startup a bit, but less disruptive than browseURL version.

Use Open Journals like @jstatsoft / R Journal (@_R_Foundation) / @joss_TheOJ / @ReScienceEds ...
Agreed re okular (KDE pdf reader) which can manage this (even if evince via xdg-open is my goto tool). And once or twice I think I borrowed a Windoze laptop.

A nice thing about R/Finance is that you get to meet super-sharp startups which may become sponsors and friend ...
So what do I do now? Rush to ORD to catch a flight to LGA to prevent poor @edouarda14 to convert his _awesome_ @quasardb code to C++98? Oh the puzzles we face ...
To get into Berghain you need to have these kind of deep sad eyes, like you don’t care about life anymore. My trick is to imagine my company got acquired and we have to rewrite everything in C++98 using MFC.

Our RcppArmadillo package is now used by over 500 CRAN packages!
Congratulations--and thanks!!--to everyone who made it happen: Conrad, Ryan, and everybody on the RcppArmadillo side @romain_francois @BatesDmbates @br1anu and contributors such as @axiomsofxyz
