#RStats hivemind :
Any idea what the "but this used not to be the case when versioned installs were allowed is referring to here ?

In some rare circumstances, the configuration and cleanup scripts need to know the location into which the package is being installed. An example of this is a package that uses C code and creates two shared object/DLLs. Usually, the object that is dynamicall loaded by R is linked against the second, dependent, object. On some systems, we can add the location of this dependent object to th object that is dynamically loaded by R. This means that each user does not have to set the value of the LD_LIBRARY_PATH (or equivalent environment variable, but that the secondary object is automatically resolved. Another example is when a package installs support files that are required at run time, and their location is substituted into an R data structure at installation time. The names of the top-level library directory (i.e., specifiable via the ‘-U argument) and the directory of the package itself are made available to the installation scripts via the two shell/environment variables R_LIBRARY DIR and R_PACKAGE DIR. Additionally, the name of the package (e.| ‘survival’ or ‘MAsS’) being installed is available from the environment variable R_PACKAGE_NAME. (Currently the value of R_PACKAGE DIR is always ${R_LIBRARY DIR}/${R_PACKAGE_NAME}

Game 27 of Saints's 2024 season, which I'm following for my #rstats #RugbyLeague #DataVisualisation project was a loss to Warrington - fulltimesportsfan.wordpress.co.

The most interesting figure was from the game itself, a matrix of which players were present together when Warrington scored. It's really easy to see that Matty Lees was the Saints player who received a yellow card.

Matrix chart of who is present together when Saints conceded in game 27.  Of interest is the second darkest group (they are in orange), containing Welsby, Paasi, Lees and Delaney.  The line for Lees is a paler orange because he was not present with that group every time Saints conceded.  On this occasion, it is a mark of shame because he had been yellow carded, which Warrington exploited to score twice.

For this week's #TidyTuesday we're looking at data from the World Health Organisation (WHO) on measles cases.

#DataViz #ggplot2

Line chart showing declining MMR vaccine coverage in the UK from the mid-1990s, never reaching the 95% WHO target, alongside a rise in measles cases after 2016, when the UK briefly achieved elimination status before losing it in 2018 due to re-established transmission.

#quarto #rstats friends who use github action to publish articles:

it's currently taking github actions ~30 mins to publish my little #mgcv help site (calgary.converged.yt/). This seems to be because it's installing a lot of R packages from source.

What's the current state-of-the-art to get these things to render quickly? (And using minimal power.)

(I'd like to not use github but I would also like to encourage PRs etc from folks without a huge overhead from them, so let's stick to github-based solutions for now.)
