PSA: At the end of 2022 I've stepped back from all of my positions in the mlr-org organization. This also included stopping to contribute to most of the (core) components of the project.

@cynkra_com If there's demand, we could also add arm64 images.

[Patrick Schratz @patscli]

Hey #rstats folks,

we at @cynkra_com build R+quarto docker images for quite some time. If you are in need for rocker/r-base + quarto, these might be helpful to you:

Also includes variants with quarto pre-release.

In 2023, every second tweet "is going to change your life" 🫤😮‍💨

@Lluis_Revilla In the end there are many OS/arch combinations to account for if the goal is a "complete" suite of binaries.

[Patrick Schratz @patscli]

Who build be interested in linux/arm64 R package binaries? #rstats

[Patrick Schratz @patscli]

@Lluis_Revilla Could be yes but note that the binaries are restricted to the OS they were built on. So the Mac ones will only work for Intel macs. And the Ubuntu ones only for the respective LTS.

But ofc nothing holds you back from building binaries for just 1-3 OSs, better than 0! :)

[Patrick Schratz @patscli]

@Lluis_Revilla For your own non-CRAN packages you can do so with R CMD INSTALL --build <pkg>.

Binaries for CRAN packages are provided by the public Posit package manager.

I've finally written another blog post!

"Generic website pull request previews using S3 buckets"

-> moving towards CI- and Git-hoster agnostic workflows

https://t.co/ZsRCJRTQiT

(posts now also come with a comment functionality)

@giteaio #github #aws #cicd #devops

[Patrick Schratz @patscli]

Allows Github and anonymous posts (with much more options if wanted).

Slim, self-hosted. A bit of custom CSS and et voila!

Last, I'd like to explicitly point out that none of this has to do with the finalization of my PhD at the end of last year. The intersection of these events is completely random.

In the meantime, I'll try to refocus on finding out what I want to do and where I can help while enjoying the process at the same time.
I haven't done much ML or R development lately but rather devops-related things.

[Patrick Schratz @patscli]

@m_saharia @ChristophMolnar Sadly the biggest problem when not adhering to the "system" is funding.

It is hard to get a stable income when you're on your own, especially in academia. Christoph is doing this very well with his authorship but I don't think this would work for most people.

Props! 💪

@Lluis_Revilla @cynkra_com @geobrenning That's a tradition from the University of Jena (Germany). The coat is a tradition of the institute. The statue is the founder of the university and the goal is to throw "something" (usually round) that sticks to its sword (I don't know the history behind it though).

[Patrick Schratz @patscli]

Last week, after ~ 6 years, finally the disputation of my doctoral thesis happened.

For the last 2.5 years I worked on it besides my full-time job at @cynkra_com whenever I found time.

Big thanks to my supervisor @geobrenning for the tremendous support!
