Congrats to @dselivanov_ et al for RestRserve release 1.0: an awesome package scaling #Rstats to thousands of concurrent REST requests per second (think `plumbr` on steroids). My 15s of fame here are from having suggested use of Rserve years ago...

Thanks again to @NISS_DataSci for inviting me to give a virtual tutorial on #Rcpp for extending #RStats with @isoCpp. Slides are (as usual) on my talks page at
dirk.eddelbuettel.com/talks.…; the video recording should be(come) available for NISS affiliates.
Join us on Friday, March 25 for the Rcpp (R and C++) virtual tutorial by Dr.Dirk Eddelbuettel， Principal Software Engineer at @tiledb and adjunct Clinical Professor at @IllinoisStat.

Maybe 'Library of Statistical Techniques'?
It accepts posts via PRs and has a fair number of #Python and #Rstats entries for the same estimation, modeling, data analysis, ... tasks

Endorse! This sounds a lot like the first four weeks of my STAT 447 (cf stat447.com) course! If someone wanted get in touch to offer this as a day-long workshop my arm could likely be twisted.
The rest of Mike's thread is good too, as usual 😉
I'm not yet qualified to give advice on the job market, but if you're an academic hoping to hit the ground running as a data scientist in industry, here are some potentially useful tips:
‣ Round out your programming skills–be okay or comfortable with git, bash, SQL.

Please help test #RStats 4.2.0
I added a first alpha release to @debian unstable: `apt install -t unstable r-base-core` will get it. I also updated the #RockerProject r-base container with tag 4.2.0. I plan to update them every few days until release on April 22. Please test.

Not really a conda user myself but I recently verified that using `mamba` via the condaforge/mambaforge container allowed me to run
mamba install -y r-$NameOfCRANPkgHrere
without issues a given #RStats package and all its dependencies. Maybe that will work?

At work we've decided to combine our favourite C++ features that enable robust, reliable, and repeatable code:
Thrand().
It is a combination of threads and rand().
I plan to propose it for C++26, although maybe it is important enough to push for a special inclusion into C++23.

I just hurt myself biting so forcefully into a (toasted) everything bagel that a seed flew into my eye.
There, that is the tweet.

There are many ways: base #Rstats reads files and dirs as vectors, has file.info() + regexps, parses datetimes, ...
A few years ago I gave a (jokingly titled) talk "R for SysAdmins" showing this (using @rdatatable) at @mattgodbolt's OSOM.

Yep. Also used for the fastest (if obscure) moving average over a (time) series which is why it always was so annoying the function got stomped upon. Namespaces are precious, and warnings matter.

To clarify: while there is a Pusbullet browser plugin, the R package (like other API clients) works with the backend and does not involve the browser. So it works headless (say, at AWS), in scripts, via cron, ... you name it. But powerful and flexible for alerts and result.

The #Rcpp webinar / talk is happening in three days from now, and registration is still open (and inexpensive overall, cheaper still for students and free for those at NISS partner institutions). #rstats

9 years. Well, as the characters of my favorite TV series “The Wire” used to say: “You only do two days. That's the day you go in and the day you come out"
I even had a T-shirt with this slogan, but the prison authorities confiscated it, considering the print extremist.

And due to some very fine autoMAGIC code by @github and @letsencrypt the site is now also being served via https. Very nice, and thank you!

Thanks all: I am (of course) aware of `ymd()`, the point of the tweet was that `anydate()` avoids all this automagically.
Plus, as @shabbychef reminded us, base #Rstats was there first (for this value) as `as.Date("2022-03-21") + 7` also works. Peace out.

I also use it but it a) supports fewer formats that anydate(), b) does not deal with as many input types and c) still insists on the re-repeating for 1e5s time what "origin" is (as if there ever was a doubt) so anydate() wins.
Apart from that it's great and zero-dependency.

Always happy to help another #rstats user 😉
