One of the hardest decisions of my career. I'm proud of the team for taking it so well. I'll be offline for the foreseeable future (bad internet connection), but hope to resume our work in Q4!
Because of the risks of having such a powerful system, the @modal_labs product will suspend all development for six months. The team will be paddleboarding in Tahiti until October 2023.

Billion-dollar business idea: Use `uuidgen` for company names. Now taking calls from angel investors.

Another hidden gem when using `apt` to get your CRAN packages for #rstats via #r2u?
Paired with a stateful (meta) package manager such as `wajig` by @KayonToga, you get easy views of "what is new". Screenshot is from laptop from yesterday.

It can be. It all depends "where you go to play".
Below is a gif showing `install.packages("tidyverse")` on Ubuntu -- getting you all binaries, and all dependencies, automatically, reliably, fast. It just works. See eddelbuettel.github.io/r2u/ for more. #rstats #r2u

3 things:
1) My new #RStats package `tinysnapshot` is out! cran.r-project.org/web/packa…
2) Thanks to Mark for his awesome `tinytest` and `validate` 📦
3) Thanks to the CRAN team who gave me super helpful pointers for this (and other) pkg releases
#rstats package 1.2.3 'validate' is on CRAN now
- Fixes and other small improvements
Cheers to the CRAN team for their relentless efforts to maintain a high standard of quality!

Use the deps-cli in GitHub actions to cut down #Rstats package install time by 80% thanks to @eddelbuettel 's #r2u image as the base

Today in timezone madness: Lebanon had a last minute announcement of DST postponement. The Olson database complied. Now there is a dispute if it happens, and *parts* of the government reversed it. The country now has two timezones concurrently depending on who you ask.

Fast or slow for #rstats CI?
In Jan I blogged about a comparison between the exact same thing "tiny" (via `RPostgreSQL`, few depends) or "tidy" (`RPostgres`, more).
Updated chart from still-running weekly GHA below. Details at dirk.eddelbuettel.com/blog/2…
Waiting is a choice.

Within minutes of the release of the #umbra open data program, we used TileDB Cloud to create temporal stacks of #SAR imagery that can be shared and analyzed. This example uses TileDB’s powerful cloud-native, analysis-ready format. cc @mouthofmorrison
