That is not correct. R 4.3.0 (for x86_64) has been available since Fri from my PPA and since Fri or Sat via the std 'backport' by Michael that is mirrored at CRAN. (The directory has been names jammu-cran40 for the API change at R 4.0.0). Discuss at r-sig-debian please. #rstats

If you are a @Wilco fan (and really, who isn't?) then these eight minutes of @NelsCline and Derek Trucks (@DerekAndSusan) shredding "Impossible Germany" are going to be the best eight minutes of your day.

Excellent and thank you!
The @Debian package has been update, convenience @Ubuntu builds for 20.04 and 22.04 are in my PPA, the #RockerProject r-base container has been updated, and a PR made as usual from it for the official @Docker #Rstats container.
#rstats R version 4.3.0 "Already Tomorrow" (source version) has been released. (You can find it in cran.r-project.org/src/base/…, or wait for CRAN to be updated.)

Congratulations on a new and smooth release!
Corresponding @debian builds are in 'experimental' (as there is a release freeze), @ubuntu jammy builds are at my PPA. The 'qlcal' calendering spin-off for #rstats has been updated and submitted to CRAN too.
#QuantLib 1.30 was released today. Thanks to all the contributors!

I have been listening to him non-stop for two days. Yesterday's celebration of life by @WKCRFM was wonderful.
It's eery that the (former) Pershing of the famed 50s concert is a 10 miles bike from where I am now, and that Marseille was such a book end for me three decades ago.

"Marseille
Je marche souvent seul dans tes rues
Et trop souvent, j'y ai disparu
Marseille
Mon cœur si seul cherche ta caresse
Car ma vie est trop remplie de tristesse"
Rest in peace, Ahmad Jamal. 92 years young, gone too soon.

Another #r2u demo: We install the #runiverse binary of r-#polars with r-#arrow -- as Ubuntu binaries, with all #arrow package dependencies, in maybe twenty seconds max, from a single R command (plus one to set a repo variable). What's not to like?

`svn blame UseMethod.Rd` pins this to commit 24500 with a revision in commit 38429.
These were made, respectively, in Nov 2005 and May 2003. In other words, "yes, that was the thinking twenty years ago". Sometimes things change.

Does anybody know of a Chrome plugin replacing a certain dog with, say, a little blue bird, maybe even one giving a finger? #askingForAFriend #notReally
