Coming soon to helper package RcppInt64: nanotime helpers for to/from C++ conversion.

Example showing how the 'delta' is consistently one ns across the 18 orders of magnitude range.

Code nicely abstracts away the implementation 'detail'; meat and bones of the example above is a four-line loop---thanks to the new helpers.

Did something change in how RSS is rendered and nobody told me? CRANberriesFeed takes what it gets from diffstat and places it into a <pre> .... </pre> block. Comes out right in html, and in the generated rss file. But both feedly and another RSS reader I tried garble those lines now.

After days of headaches with hard-to-reproduce checks, I really couldn't agree more with the points made here by @omearabrian

@benschneider @omearabrian

"Math is hard, let's go shopping."

CRAN does an insanely valuable job curating packages along with interoperability. Does it irritate us package authors once in a while? Sure. Does it provide unparalleled guarantees that code "just works"? Pretty much, and as we get that nowhere else I remain a fan. By all means try decamping to "looser" setups if they seem more attractive to you. But in the long run ... quality matters. As does QA.

When an Core member creates a GH repo with a description of "Next-generation environment for statistical computing” which included a header file dubbed “Rcompat.h” one must take notice. https://github.com/s-u/aleph

@hrbrmstr But pay attention to the fact that it is a decade) old based on his ATT work -- as the commit history clearly ("say hello to 2009 - 2011) . So maybe simply Imported from his (no hyphen)rforge.net. Then again historical fidelity is good, as is running code from 2009-2011 !

    @ojala @tslumley I also always loved the name of the mailing list which was all that there was ... and which was later folded into r-devel

    Remembering that time I wrote an internal tutorial using bookdown and made one of these fake O'Reilly covers and the IT boss contacted my boss telling her I was violating copyrighted material

    eddelbuettel,
    @eddelbuettel@mastodon.social avatar

    @brodriguesco That is a fairly accurate description of corporate IT as the department of "who the hell do you think you are that you think you do THAT here?". Best to leave such places sooner rather later.

    Likely old news for some folks but the RStudio dailies have GitHub Copilot support

    eddelbuettel,
    @eddelbuettel@mastodon.social avatar

    @hrbrmstr Noice! I update my rstudio desktop and server binaries every couple of days "automagically" (via chron refreshing the PPA, and apt fetching it when I update, see below) but I just don't launch them very often these days. I think I also have a free .edu subscription to Copilot. So ... maybe I'll try,

    The PPA is described below. Cannot host it anywhere as binary file sizes exceed the usual (GitHub, say) allotment so a local dir on my webserver is used.

    @StatGenDan @krzysztof_dyba @eliocamp @rstats I am sorry what now? With R 4.3.1 I do of course see

    > is.vector(as.vector(mtcars))
    [1] TRUE
    >

    PS This apparently changed in the last two years as seen from r-base images I have here:

    $ docker run --rm -ti r-base:4.2.2 Rscript -e 'is.vector(as.vector(mtcars))'
    [1] TRUE
    $ docker run --rm -ti r-base:4.1.3 Rscript -e 'is.vector(as.vector(mtcars))'
    [1] FALSE
    $

    But no point bemoaning old bugs, is there?

    I wrote a quick blog post about using (the CLI/TUI fuzzy finder) in your daily workflow. I hope it can help you to improve your workflow and day-to-day experience in terminal.

    More posts with a little bit advanced setup is on the way, but I'm still working on it.

    @Mehrad Always nice to give these tools some love. I use fzf in more of a vanilla mode for better history.

    When I tried your fany git logger example, fzf complained unknown option: --track which is sad. Ubuntu 23.04 with fzf 0.38.

    Hivemind:

    Is anyone interfacing R with hardware? Or know of packages which do?

    Reading/writing from/to sensors?
    Writing to LCD character displays?
    LEGO Mindstorms?
    Etc, etc ...

    links/github/anything appreciated...

    @dataandme @coolbutuseless The 'three dots' menu a each toot has an 'edit' function. Very handy.
