Using #RStats on @Ubuntu LTS 20.04 or 22.04?
The new #CRANapt repo has 19000 .deb binaries for each with full dependencies and `apt` integration. Demo of a full `brms` installation in 13 seconds (using @Docker via @gitpod in the browser).

It signals the ability of #Rstats to make use of what is often called 'i18n' and switch languages. See below for French, but I failed to get Swedish going.

Yes! Set (in Rprofile.site, or your personaly ~/.Rprofile) a library location _outside_ the default path of #Rstats. Install there.
When you remove and upgrade R this library path will then unaffected -- which saves time at upgrades such as 4.1.* to 4.2.0.

Every time I have a programming question and I rly need help, I post it on Reddit and then log into another account and reply to it with an obscenely incorrect answer. Ppl don’t care about helping others but they LOVE correcting others. Works 100% of the time

Been there, done that.
And admired the generosity of a younger Dirk who left a note at StackOverflow right where older Dirk would find in time of need.
There must be a German word for "having forgotten more over the years than I know now". I should ask younger Dirk for it.

searched the archives for this gem to wish the best dad ever a very happy birthday! @eddelbuettel now that I’m a girl in stem that knows more than one coding language, there are endless possibilities for this year’s birthday & father’s day cards :)
So I got a #Java Father's Day card from the 18 year old who seemingly survived AP Comp Sci. Plus a cameo from the best cat of all...

You could do worse than start here:
stackoverflow.com/questions/…
In general, search engines can help you.

Yes, R Core / Simon provides this via the 'macbuilder' (using an M1 machine) at

Here is what I have on a (Ubuntu) laptop that has been running `bspm` merrily for a long time and hence installs binaries via the system manager.

"Fisher is one of the most famous statisticians ever, which is another way of saying he is not very famous at all."
@TheEconomist on Fisher, reflections at Cambridge, and how "The past is another country; they do things differently there." #RStats

The short tutorials by @kwbroman are good, and he has one on `make`:
kbroman.org/minimal_make/
Otherwise lots of standard tutorials, and plenty of examples at GitHub. #rstats

Yes.
Also in the context of packages, package managers, and in this highlighted special case of the (wonderful) CRAN ecosystem for #RStats -- a blog post of mine titled 'less is more' with a nod to Mies van der Rohe.

Excellent. As usual we
- uploaded the official @Debian r-base package
- created @Ubuntu PPA builds for 20.04, 21.10, 22.04
- created @Docker rocker/r-base:4.2.0 and :latest
- created official @Docker r-base PR which is pending
CRAN backports to follow. #RStats
#rstats 4.2.0 "Vigorous Calisthenics" (source version) has been released. (For the impatient: Look in cran.r-project.org/src/base/…)
