I started using the r2u image to do some benchmarking for my @_useRconf talk.
Turns out that r2u is an average-sized image with the fastest build time, beating all the other options

If you're seeing 'Error in x$.self$finalize() : attempt to apply non-function' in your #rstats session, we have a potential workaround in the development version of Rcpp -- testing appreciated! Install with install.packages("Rcpp", repos = "RcppCore.github.io/drat")

Most sincere gratulations -- this was well earned as it is a genuinely excellent and brilliant piece of work you (and the rest of the team) did there. Thanks again as well for stepping by and telling my STAT 447 students about this and other work: youtube.com/watch?v=1TgEl5OZ…
Just won the Future of Media award! Very happy to accept the award for data journalism together with @AlexSelbyB for "The pandemic's true death toll"

Big #r2u news: a mirror! Announced during the @ChicagoRusers talk I just gave.
Use r2u.stat.illinois.edu/ubuntu… and take advantage of Intenet2 speeds, and campus reliability to bring your CRAN Ubuntu binaries to #RStats for @Ubuntu. #r2u documentation will be updated tomorrow.
