To me by launching a new process -- easiest with `r` and `Rscript` and pretty much the motivation for littler, and my preferred way to test things. Quick check at the shell, leaving main work sessions (plural, ESS in Emacs) alone.

Following the RSS summaries of r-devel changes, I am aware of a fairly larger number of cleanups at the datetime (POSIXt types) level. See eg the link below for today's summary (in not so pretty html) and scroll back a bit. I suspect this to be related.

I think I would start with a plain (command-line !) `curl` request and start from there. Possibly something is filtered out on the different code paths you are looking at.

Smiling about this all day and just wanted to make sure that whoever at the @guardian is responsible for the caption 'footballer is on the left' gets his due. This was after all on the sports / soccer pages. #legend Underlying article theguardian.com/football/202…

Yes, several times over the last decade. With a server OS of a variant supported by RStudio with pre-made binaries, it is pretty quick work for anyone familiar with system administrations tasks on such a server. I always used Ubuntu. RStudio has more docs. #rstats

I sometime ponder this for student projects: - take a cut off, say N=5 or 10 years - take popular #rstats package from then - extract its examples, tests, vignettes - run these and summarise yay/nay - in a first pass report success probabilities - ...

Dear @Bloomberg @BW : I tried to purchase this week's issue w/ @matt_levine 's 40k word treatise on crypto. Only to find that a neither a decently-stocked grocery store nor an equally-well stocked bookstore have it. I live in near-suburb of a global metropole. Can you help?

Yes! I have spoken in high praise about `ag` aka The SilverSearcher before. Extremely fast, and clever (i.e. knows to skip `.git` dir backup files etc). Excellent interface from my editor too. `ripgrep` is an alternative. github.com/ggreer/the_silver…

#rstats 4.2.2 "Innocent and Trusting" (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)
