Another *truly big moment* for #Rcpp
- 2500+ reverse dependencies
- Used by one in every 7.6 packages on CRAN
So a really *big and heartfelt* Thank You! to everybody who helped along: the Rcpp Core team, all other contributors, and of course all users keeping us at it! #rstats
A *really big moment* for #Rcpp:
- 2000 reverse dependecies
- One in eight packages on CRAN
A *big and heartfelt Thank You!* to everbody who has contributed on that journey with code, suggestions, bug reports, documentation and tips!

Lecture slides for my 'Data Science Programming Methods' course STAT 447 from this Fall 2021 at U of Illinois are now accessible via stat447.com covering shell (incl sed/awk), markdown, git(hub), sql, lots of #Rstats up to packaging, and Docker. Enjoy!

Sorry to hear Laurent! I am also in a rather salty mood re CRAN right now because of some nonsense with an upload upheld because a third-party library. So no magic pixie dust from me either: it is what it is--a glorious gift they give us, yet at times very frustrating.

Not a new question: Gentzkow and Shapiro wrote theis eight years ago: web.stanford.edu/~gentzkow/r…
My view is similar, as is the content of my STAT447 course: shell/scripts, git, sql, markdown, R, ...: stat447.com
And this really should be a three course sequence.

It's irritating when one first encounters it but it ... is also more or less a rite of passage.
See the ("famous") R FAQ answer 7.31 which is about this -- and so famous that "7.31" really is just shorthand for these problems. #rstats

Wow the Canadian truckers are screaming that their First Amendment rights are being violated
Who wants to tell them?
For the record, the 1st amendment of the Canadian Constitution is likely the Manitoba Act of 1870, which is the right to recognize Manitoba as a province

Very nice! I have five or six #rstats repos for which I use @squidfunk's mkdocs-material (via Docker) with some simple custom converters for NEWS.Rd and ChangeLog. Vignettes (both pdf and html) are indeed a little manual but I will explore how your `altdoc` package can help.

This is mind-blowing. 30+ miles a day. For 100+ days. Rain or shine. Mountain or desert. Across Mexico from West to East. Wicked story by @ksieff who is not a shabby runner either (2hr 48min marathoner)

Which is the recommended and documented behavior, and has been for all those years!
Remember: #Rcpp maps R data structures.
And those (generally) do not grow well. So use STL (and alike) in C++ and transfer back to R(cpp) data just prior to return.

'apt update && apt upgrade' automagically bringing new rstudio(-server) and quarto binaries is the gift that keeps on giving new #rstats toys.
And just got quarto 0.9.9, so it seems like a main release may be coming 'soon'.

Short post on how to make `rstudio`, `rstudio-server`, `quarto` available for `apt install` and `apt upgrade`, with link to GitHub repo.

Reminder that `colorout` is *wicked* for the console. Quick #rstats example with a @Rdatatable snippet by @grant_mcdermott I still had in a #byobu / #tmux session.
See github.com/jalvesaq/colorout for the package. Someone should port it into base R (as it can't be a CRAN package).

You could start with the book(s), tutorials and packages by @markvdloo and @edwindjonge at github.com/data-cleaning
