Just learned that 100% of my daughters saw @maggierogers and @DBtodomundo in duet at Radio City Hall last night while I was at home in Chicagoland, clearly living my life the wrong way.
Kudos to twitterless Anna arranging this for @julia_edd and her.

A good word.
As a native speaker I can assure you that there is no German word for the feeling of utter helplessness one feels when confronted with a litany of "thoughts and prayers". And then nothing else to follow.
Some political action would be nice. For a change.

That is an option. I am leaning towards the "it is 2023 and R 4.3.* (soon)" of removing the compilation standard requirement for most of my packages -- but also just sent a PR to another project to roll from C++14 to C++17. So as always: it depends, and we have choices.

It's a rich topic. Did you see the thread on r-pkg-devel in the last few days? One could use configure as needed.
What I like in the change I commented on and highlighted here is that the NOTE no longer leads people to blindly do s/CXX11/CXX17/ which is not a panacea either.

Interesting: CRAN appears to listens to public (and private) discussions. A package specifying C++17 now notes:
* using R Under development (unstable) (2023-02-09 r83797)
[...]
* checking C++ specification ... OK
Not all R platforms support C++17
[...]

Most interesting. Just how I was musing (in the quoted tweet) that (too ?) many packages still hard-wire C++11 I just noticed that one of mine now gets warnings for this on the Vienna and Oxford @debian and @fedora r-devel systems of CRAN.

New Post on combining #rstats with Fortran via #rcpp
Possible world audience of three: @ProfJamesCurran (who asked initial question), @jb_duckmayr who answered (years earlier!!), @AvrahamAdler who is all in on Fortran. And me mediating :)

Google search for books leads to google.com/books/edition/Cho… -- and 'search inside' of page 3 seems to confirm.

#r2u is going strongly and proving to be useful for #rstats. We had a few 80k days recently and may soon break 100k per day. Nice to see it being used!

@TheEconomist Jan 30 "According to a ranking devised by Microsoft, the top five computer-vision teams in the world are all Chinese." (economist.com/business/2023/…)
@TheEconomist Feb 3 "How a balloon ..." (economist.com/china/2023/02/…)
Hm, wonder if anybody else see these two as related.

#RStats 4.3.0 will default to C++17 (with the 'where available' caveat, just how it currently defaults to C++14). Lots of packages still specify C++11 explicitly and can just drop that (at least for builds under recent R versions).
