Thank you @munterfi1 for being {hereR} for us 🤪, it's a such a handy package! We're using it to determine road cycling preferences by comparing GPS tracks (red) with the shortest paths from {hereR} (black) #rstats, #gischat

[Merlin Unterfinger @munterfi1]

@NRatnaweera It is a pleasure! 😁 Thanks for the positive feedback on the package 📦

#rstats admins (and users): If you ever thought

"Why does R package installation differ between macOS vs Linux" (i.e. R system lib vs. user lib)

then it might be a good time now to take part in this r-sig-mac mailing list discussion and share your opinion

New fleet of Docker containers for reproducible data analysis with #RStats+ (with :python tag) #Python just published! Way faster builds of our #geocompr book in (now <10min on @github actions)🎉 Give them a spin here, feedback v. welcome 🙏 https://t.co/gk6IOsGGjg

@minigamedev @CedScherer Instead of storing package example data as .rda, a safer solution is including the data in the inst folder. Then read the data using the raster package on the current system via 'system.file("your-raster.tif", package = "your-package")'. Example: https://t.co/BcidLJbGZP
