Rumours that @IARC_WHO are set to declare #Aspartame as "possibly carcinogenic" are causing concern. It's important to know that IARC classifications use highly coded language. In this thread I will decode this language and explain what it means. theguardian.com/society/2023…

Aspartame sweetener to be declared possible cancer risk by WHO, say reports

Artificial sweetener used in thousands of products reportedly to be labelled ‘possibly carcinogenic to humans’

Please do not crosspost. I already answered / commented on your SO question. You will get yourself more karma points if you do your homework first rather than outsourcing that several times over to busy volunteers.

Did anybody do a 'value over replacement' analysis for the Nate to Elliott swap?

Yep, a *much* underappreciated feature. I tried at the time to write a blog post about it but somehow stumbled and it never became a regular usage pattern for me as I tend to explicitly import via `::` from packages known to be potentially troublesome.

As @marutterstat is still vacationing, I uploaded my Debian build to my Ubuntu Launchpad PPA as I often do (under a slightly lower version number) / should have done last Friday. It built of course without any hickups and will be downloadable very soon. launchpad.net/~edd/+archive/…

Nobody can help on two-line posts with an error message without context. Lots of people compile(d) R on Ubuntu, LTS or not. There is a dedicated mailing list r-sig-debian for all questions related to #rstats on @Debian, @Ubuntu, and other derivs. Post there please if you can.

Quick little Wednesday experiment of 'baked' potato + zuchini + carrot latkes with a side of lax and creme fraiche / sour cream by @julia_edd ('back home' for a few weeks) and me. Worked out ok under the constraints of vegetarian weekdays. Pic is from her BeReal stream.

R 4.3.1 was released on Friday as scheduled, arrived in Debian and rocker/r-base on Friday, is now in Docker as r-base too (it was a long weekend...) and should be an Ubuntu backport at CRAN thanks to @marutterstat very soon too. Enjoy the new release! #rstats

Yes! Adding `rstudio` to #r2u has come up before but I have not time for it. Adding it, in container or on a life system, is straightforward as there are matching .deb packages (cf link). To run the server best some rocker scripts may help. /cc @eitsupi github.com/eddelbuettel/ppa-…

From first principles: - treat the symptom: run a filter like `dos2unix` on ther files before you create the .tar.gz - treat the cause: if (say) your code is in `git` learn about the line end settings as git can maps it for you docs.github.com/en/get-start…
