Anyone interested in helping to draft web4? And then working backwards from that to see how we could implement that?

Seamless R and C++ Integration

#rcpp #rstats
Bi-annual release including a switch to stricter headers requiring extensive rev.dep tests and months of planning. Big Thank You! to all who helped with this!

That. Is. Rather. Flattering.
Of course, other STAT 447 course evaluation comments were saltier including "this course should be in Python". No matter what we write in syllabus or course websites, someone will skip it and be sad for it.

Thanks, Rblpapi is niche, but if you are in trading and investments, it is golden and hits the spot. Thanks also to co-authors @john_laing and Whit Armstrong.
We were told that it is nicer than the #Python package for Bloomberg but I can't speak to that.

I’ve been using #AnnotatedEquations in my recent papers. I think it really adds to the readability and understanding of the math.
Here are some examples. It uses #tikz in #latex.
Let me know if you like it. Happy for any feedback. [GitHub link: next tweet]

Getting ready for a release but tempted to delay it another couple of weeks. I blame @eddelbuettel.

While all you kids go on about web3, I am _chuffed_ to announce that I have come across web4.
NFTs. In CSV format. On a USB drive.
We are done here.

Indeed. As R^4 post #034 stated: "Less is more".
Fewer components is better. Faster deployment in usage and CI, and likely less breakage and greater overall reliability. Clear win for vignettes, testing, and much more. #rstats

Have started to play around with #rstats {simplermarkdown} after seeing @eddelbuettel highlighting it. Looks very promising. Would dramatically reduce build-time dependencies for packages that need a markdown vignette builder.

Here is one hit from searching for the command in the GitHub cran org and restricting to yaml files -- screenshot and source link. You likely need the step before you try to install CRAN packages such as xml2.

You need a step to `sudo apt install libcurl4-openssl-dev` as the (quoted) error says.
This is a known achilles heel of the RSPM binaries (which lack full dependencies) which is preempted in some actions for CI but apparently not in your bookdown setup.

If you are still iterating on it with CRAN, and the old upload attempt is archived, then it is fine to keep the same number 1.1.0.
As soon as you get 'on its way to CRAN' email it is better to increment to 1.1.1.
See several emails by Uwe on the r-package-devel list.

"Each SCAPDFATIAT point increases the chance that the process will involve the phrase 'by the next business day.'"
And just like that SCAPDFATIAT was on its way into the Oxford and Merriam-Webster dictionaries ...
