*** Going all-in on Linux ***

I'm getting rid of Windows.

I'll never hassle others for keeping it as their daily driver. There are practical costs, and pressure to yield to industry norms.

But right now, I'm largely free of those constraints. There will never be a better time to go "all-in".

I'll still occasionally need a Windows VM, because I can't entirely unshackle myself from reality. But I will be in control of my machine - not Microsoft. And that's a happy thought. :)

@lulu_powerful nice, what distro?

brodriguesco,
@brodriguesco@fosstodon.org avatar

@lulu_powerful For something lite and as easy to use as possible, I really Lubuntu. Haven't tried other things like Linux Mint, but that could be a nice alternative as well. Pop_os is also popular, but haven't tried it myself either.

why are there two versions of MASS on src/contrib of CRAN?

@brodriguesco@fosstodon.org avatar

@mdsumner was this always the case? something seems to have changed since the 4.4.0 release, because my automated pipeline to build binaries for Nix is failing since yesterday. It thought it might be related to this.

Long knives at CRAN. My (old) local script watching Rcpp usage changes see 135 fewer packages at CRAN (!!): 20594 versus 20729 (and 21 fewer Rcpp uses). That is a Yuge delta to yesterday, and it will take a few more (hourly) @CRANberriesFeed messages (which I cap to one removal message per run) to catch up....

(Subsequent closer look confirms 139 removals which is likely a new record.)

@eddelbuettel @CRANberriesFeed might explain why my binary cache of bleeding edge packages I build on Github Actions for NixOS starting taking hours to build two days ago (see pic). It's ok now, but I was surprised to see this.

What are some packages that take forever to compile?

@kupac nice, wasn’t aware this was a thing. Added a bunch of packages to the cache!

Kind of thankful that is not a system dependency that is pretty much embedded in the OS, and that I can upgrade it even on older software (like running R 4.3.0 on Ubuntu 20 LTS) without worrying about other things depending on it.

In contrast to 3.6, that I'm not keen to try and force an upgrade to 3.8 so I can get access to a newer version of SciPy that exposes some underlying functionality that one of our python packages depends on.

@rmflight you could use python virtual environments for this. No VM or Docker needed, and you'll have per-project development environments.

brodriguesco,
@brodriguesco@fosstodon.org avatar

@rmflight yes exactly pyenv also allows you to choose python version afaik

I did the dumbest little project tonight. I find it amusing that my European colleagues don't realize that their country is basically the size of Indiana.. or Tennessee or some other state that they can't find on a map. So I pulled the data to determine which state is most like which country. My 3 metrics are: population, land mass, and GDP. I have the data cleaned up. So maybe now a simple Shiny app?

What should I do with this project?

@Cmastication I know that in terms of size, Luxembourg is about one Rhode Island

@rpodcast @mike_thomas thanks for highlighting my blog post :) I noticed that the link to the unit test is not pointing to the right url. Here it is: https://github.com/b-rodrigues/chronicler/blob/c36eb78f532aa786e6502d535556b23ab2f6d0ab/tests/testthat/test-record.R#L11

it is instead pointing to the table of R package build failures from Hydra: https://raw.githack.com/b-rodrigues/nixpkgs-r-updates-fails/targets-runs/output/r-updates-fails.html
