#rstats pkg developers: if you've got a package that you consider stable (solid tests etc), believe would benefit others and you're proud of, please consider submitting it to CRAN (Having it only on GitHub & friends is only a short-term solution)🙏

To test #rdatatable on your machine, type test.data.table(). The test suite is always there in data.table unlike packages that use testthat. Sometimes it does show the odd problem (usually timezone or locale specific) -- please report.
Now is a good time to please test data.table-dev before release. Current grouping benchmark results for dev versions (including pandas, dplyr, dask, julia, spark) are at h2oai.github.io/db-benchmark…. #rdatatable
Decided to spend a couple hours coding in the hope of a modern and flexible logging engine in #rstats, then ended up thinking about and sketching the "Anatomy of a Logging" (tm) also writing docs for days 😜
Looking forward to any feedback and comment! daroczig.github.io/logger
Want to list, query or manipulate system processes from #rstats? Look at the ps package, just released version 1.2.1: github.com/r-lib/ps (Big thanks to the psutil Python package for inspiration and code!)
