Fall 1989 was very special (also my last in (W.) Germany). History changed daily, his October visit to East Berlin was epochal (even if he never said "Wer zu spaet kommt..."). He dismantled an entire empire, peacefully. We were lucky to have him. RIP.

(Reposted with silly typo fixed, package name is of course `littler` not `twitter`. Sunday frame of mind...)

Not email: Use a _repository_ which I have done in several organisation -- and wrote a helper #Rstats package for. Ensure it is set as a repo, then `update.packages()` is all it takes. And in existing packages you can check and alert via startup code!

For completeness, the same trick is also in @gbwanderson + @eddelbuettel (doi:10.32614/RJ-2017-026) and its discussion of 'optional data packages on external repos via drat' thanks to one of many extremely clever idea of my very talented co-author 🤩 #rstats

Compared to manual install, this is the difference of travel coast-to+coast by private jet compared to bus.
Nice example + discussion of upgrading #RStats from @Ubuntu 20.04 to 22.04. We can do even better: All packages install with all dependencies in 20s (on Docker, to start 'empty'). The (2018) example script ran fine on my laptop using the same packages -- all thanks to #ru2.

Seems like a bug because this does seems to do what you want as well:
> factor(levels=c("a", "b", "c"), ordered=TRUE)
ordered(0)
Levels: a < b < c

When the `r2u` update gives you 49 new CRAN (and BioC) packages from the last few days (and 'state' is being kept for comparison by @KayonToga 's lovely `wajig` frontend to `apt` etc). #RStats

You can slice #SAR imagery and #lidar data from TileDB arrays and create some impressive visualizations. But how about asking #dalle2 what a geospatial data array as an abstract painting might look like? #geospatial

That is a variant of #Rstats FAQ 7.31 and the trouble of floaring point comparison. You could try trunc() which gets seconds-only comparison whicgh is what you want:
> now <- Sys.time()
> then <- now + 0.001
> trunc(now) == trunc(then)
[1] TRUE
> now == then
[1] FALSE

There are lots of nice latex styles that are wrapped. See #Rstats packages
- `rticles` with many journal styles
- `binb` with three different beamer styles
- `tint` with a spin on the Tufte style
and more. For `rticles` I put up a gallery here

When I first wrote 'crp' it started web scraping. Having svn or git commits is so much more powerful -- but then we all also already have access to r-devel changes.
The next move, if any, should come from any combo of R Core and CRAN to make 'policy' changes public for us.
