So this happens once one become empty nesters with daughters at college: all of a sudden you find yourself feeding your neighborhood niece and nephew for home-made pizza night.

#Rstats package `RcppArmadillo` package has 1074 reverse dependencies. The last update was processed without any manual inspection, extra emails steps, or nags. Some people may try telling you that CRAN is 'onerous' or 'difficult'. They are wrong.

Good point. That also works with the older-school predecessor as an option. Done that before for some fancier fonts dances, and come to think about it I think all my lecture slides does think (would neeed to check).
I am not good at his. I am still stuck at reflexively addiing `\usepackage{avant}` or maybe `\usepackage{palatino}`. Sending a bat signal to @Apoorva__Lal who aces this. Maybe he can help <grin>

Yes and I would also consider the font choice in your handy report <grin> After coming up on 35 years with latex and friends I just do not want to look at computer modern ever again. But I appreciate the classicism. Very tinyverse, that.

Nice. I am about two months in (connect2 claims 187k meters, which seems high?) and like it. Still not so sure "the form" is right but I do go longer and faster than when I started. Made the mistake of looking at quantiles what I do now (5k each time). Work to do :)

Sweet. Nice timing: I hadn't set up a `pkg-fonts-*` for my own use (but also usable on any @Debian/@Ubuntu box) since (IIRC) the jetbrains mono one (which was later replaced by a distro one). Have a few more pkg-fonts-* at @github.

In case someone reading happens to have a "spare" bsky invitation and does not know what to do with it, I would gladly take it (and merrily commit to paying it forward sharing invites which, as I understand it, are given to existing users).

Same via the command-line with `update.r` from my `littler` package. Often daily on multiple machines. For years now.
CRAN is a gift. Why not enjoy it daily?
And with `r2y` it takes seconds for Ubuntu binaries with complete and full dependencies.

2/3) "Online examples and documentation become obsolete real fast"
3/3) "deprecated and superseded functions can be hard to keep track of"
This is one reason I say, "choose your dependencies carefully" and "dependencies are an invitation for others to break your code."

I told someone I didn't use a popular library 5+ years ago because, "I don't want to keep up with the furious rate of change"
I stumbled on some comments that suggest that's still true today.
1/3) "it's big and functions change too often for the internet to keep up with"
