#rstats 4.2.2 "Innocent and Trusting" scheduled for October 31. Full schedule soon on developer.r-project.org (As usual: Spot the reference)

@rachelheyR @snsf_ch @Geointheworld @eggersnsf Happy to read about this work of my former @uzh_EBPI colleague in this weekend's @SZ. Congrats!

@AchimZeileis @michael_chirico @juliasilge Absolutely agree with your report. Had started a reply a while ago but got distracted. Maybe I'll have some time during family vacation in Salzkammergut. :-)

@michael_chirico @juliasilge Nice solution! Additionally, I have been discussing a bit with Kurt Hornik how to skip checking vignettes if not all \VignetteDepends{} are available. Then package authors wouldn't have to work around this themselves. See: bugs.r-project.org/show_bug.cgi?i…

@d_olivaw Thanks, I'll see what I can do. 😉 IIRC, @revodavid had blogged summaries of earlier R releases that I found quiet useful.

@civilstat @_useRconf My kids liked it too. 😉 I really couldn't imagine that such a mini game was so easily possible in base R (+ @rabaath's {beepr} for the nice sounds). Anyway, I think you want to follow @coolbutuseless for the really fancy stuff: twitter.com/coolbutuseless…

The new issue of the R Journal includes a summary of changes in R-devel, search.R-project.org, and bugs.R-project.org, see journal.r-project.org/archive/2021-2…. Thanks to all 115 Bugzilla contributors in 2021!

Seit Mitte November sammeln wir auf covid19nowcasthub.de Nowcasts der Hospitalisierungsinzidenz, und so langsam können wir sehen, wie gut die ersten Nowcasts waren. Der erste Ensemble-Nowcast vom 17.11. sieht für die meisten Bundesländer vernünftig aus:

@coolbutuseless @geokaramanis Evidence from previous #SaturdayCoding with my kids that gaming in #rstats *is* possible: gitlab.com/bastistician/s… (in German, sorry) IIRC, this only worked well with an X11 device on Linux (not in RStudio). I was impressed how easy it was given grDevices::getGraphicsEvent().

We are pleased to announce that Sebastian Meyer @bastistician has joined the R Core Team. He has been an active contributor notably in handling and fixing #rstats bugzilla issues in dozens of contributions. bugs.r-project.org/buglist.cgi?em…

@groundwalkergmb @michael_chirico Agreed. Related recent bug report: bugs.r-project.org/show_bug.cgi?i…

@michael_chirico I mean, I really hope not, cause most things I can think of this would break are things you shouldn't be doing from what I can see...

surely this must break something #rstats

@Lluis_Revilla @hrbrmstr @yoniceedee The data is shown at CRAN.R-project.org/web/checks/che… and can be directly retrieved in R via results <- tools::CRAN_check_results() xtabs(~ Flavor + Status, data = results)

@hrbrmstr @ucfagls @yoniceedee @rstudio How did you make that plot? Using the ropensci/cchecks package? Also surprising to see so many errors on macOS...🤔🤔
