Chapeau bas to @eddelbuettel for great work on 'r2u'. Install time of packages down to 2/3 minutes. #Rstats #Rspatial

Aren't the ships hanging off the cathedral ceiling something? Truly maritime. And yes, the view isn't too shabby either,
And maybe the ships inspire you to let betahats hang off the ceiling at the next ESTIMATE?

Or (on suitable systems) install binaries and don't compile at all: with `bspm` it works with `install.packages()` _and still gets you binaries_. See my r2u for Ubuntu, @enchufa2's cran2copr for Fedora, @detlef_steuer's for OpenSUSE ... #RStats

View outside my dining room window yesterday on the way to a re-run of the coffee machine. We live in what is called around here the 'near west' burbs and you and I could run to the Loop from here on a decent day as it is about ten miles as the crow flies ....

Dear @nytimes,
May I inquire what the flaming hell this is, please? As a subscriber, do I get a refund?

As former @amseaixmars graduate student (though it was then called #GREQAM / @EHESS_fr) I fully endorse this picture, and miss the Veille Charite you get to be at for the conference. I only wish you were there to teach #Rstats instead 😉

The #Rstats blog is moving to a more proper address so time to update RSS reader settings and subscriptions.

FREE ARTICLE for followers.
A very good brief explainer on how good mining countries use gold mining to prop central bank reserves & sovereign currency crosses (vs US dollar, yuan & euro). That financial toolware is now gone for Russia.

No. But many people use @Docker for that purpose, and the paper by @nordholmen et al gives you ample pointers to project / packages helping _you_ to 'freeze' and 'conserver' _your_ #Rstats setup today or at other times. Or you can do it 'manually'.

Don't feel too bad if you aren't using the latest hot #datascience tools. The people using them now and telling you how awesome they are probably aren't using them correctly.

What is wrong with
a) sudo apt install r-cran-rjava (easiest)
b) sudo apt-get build-dep r-cran-rjava (in case you still insist on source)
as it is entirely possibly to satisfy Java needs with distro packages. Also see stackoverflow.com/a/3325468/…

The corrolary is of course a hypothetical question "but Dirk, can't you just rely on the `pip install` ?" to which my usual answer is to slowly walk about and mumble something something xkcd 1987 something ... and to quietly thank $deity for `apt`.

One the nicest things about open source is reading about yet another nice tool (example below), then checking the repo README and realizing ... that it is just an `apt install` away.
So a big big Thank You! to fellow distro maintainers for making all of our lifes easier.

Sounds like a job for the anytime package -- it will happily convert from any reasonable format to Datetime (ie POSIXct) or Date -- without the need to supply a format string.

Excellent. As usual we created the
- official @Debian r-base package
- PPA builds for @Ubuntu 20.04, 22.04
- rocker/r-base:{4.2.1,latest} containers
- official @Docker r-base container (PR merged today)
providing four ways to enjoy #Rstats 4.2.1 pre-made
#rstats 4.2.1 "Funny-Looking Kid" (source version) has been released. (The truly impatient can find it in cran.r-project.org/src/base/…, others need to wait for CRAN to update)
