Did something change in how RSS is rendered?CRANberriesFeed takes what it gets from `diffstat` and places it into a `<pre> .... </pre>` block. Comes out right in html, and in the generated rss file. But both feedly and another RSS reader I tried garble those lines now. #rstats

After 35 years, I am leaving NPR. I've had the thrill of creating Tiny Desk Concerts, All Songs Considered, directing All Things Considered for 18 years and so much more. I love the people I've worked with, but it's time to find new challenges. thank you for listening/watching.

Yeppers. I usually google something like 'meme generator' along with some terms of the meme in question. Earlier 'meme generator one million', here 'meme generator drake'.

Hm, my "cost", if any, is on the "production". The "distribution" happens via a VM kindly hosted by Liberal Arts & Sciences tech services thanks to @IllinoisStat -- and the local benchmark always was a busy local CTAN mirror. I asked CRAN to consider mirroring but ... 🦗so far.

#r2u is breaking all the records today as two European data centers appear to do *a lot* of batch testing or building. It is midafternoon and we just broke *one million packages* for today which is orders of magnitude higher than usual. #r2u: Fast. Easy. Reliable.

Got daughter two to do this via quarto in rstudio, using a standard templates for a personal site. Easy peasy. It is now hosted on github via github pages using our custom domain (which I've had for a long time). Hugo templates are good too. Whatever floats your boat!

You can follow the R sources directly which will provide the usual solid and tested (if terse) guides. But usually life is too short and I just rely on (Rcpp)Armadillo doing the BLAS/LAPACK interfacing for me.

I am with @ellis2013nz here, and go one further: 'stretching is dangerous and risks injuring you'.

During my sabbatical, I wrote a manuscript for the intro economic statistics course at UT-Austin. My main goal was to provide a free resource for our majors, but now that a draft is complete I'd like to also share it with other potential instructors. probstats4econ.com
