Came across 'demotivate', an interesting Stata command .
So I just "had to" port it to R on the commute home yesterday. Find it in package dang on @GitHub.

You describe what @Debian has been doing for 20+ years:
- New packages go into "unstable" and are available
- After a period (was ten days, now five) they migrate to "testing" unless bugs or regressions seen
(- Plus rules for mass migration, bulk dependent library updates etc)
"Update all packages to latest versions" is scary, because what if one of those releases is an hour old and breaks something? I'd much rather do "update all packages to the latest version that is at least three days old." Does any package tool support that kind of update?

Our book "A Computational Approach to Statistical Learning" is out and it includes reference implementations in R for all model-fitting algorithms presented. The R package is on the way. @statsmaths bit.ly/2RJiIL5 #rstats

Seconded :)
Despite calling for help at the repo (#187) I still have an open CSS issue I could not fix, so I moved on. But @GoHugo.io is still lovely, and works perfectly well with #rstats whether or not you use blogdown.
Help with github.com/matcornic/hugo-th… still welcome.

Well I have meant to write about that! I use
- persistent shells: byobu (by @dustinkirkland)
- emacs in persistent daemon mode, clients in both x11 + tty (ie byobu)
- many tools + scripts, some littler based
- on current Ubuntu (macOS should work)
One day I'll blog about it.

Always great to see a former @GSOC student do well -- congratulations to @LeahFPrice for a new @arxiv paper and CRAN #rstats package!
And glad to see #rcpp and Armadillo are still of help :)
