Using R, I struggled longer than I should have to discover that the errors I was encountering in using read.table with my TSV files were caused by:
A) an extra tab character at the end of the data rows, and
B) One of the fields sometimes contains '#' characters, and that makes the rest of the line a comment.

Preparing a #useR2026 talk about "Maintaining a package on #CRAN". I have prepared the content for what I wanted to say (not yet the slides 😅 ) I am sure I miss something you'd like to know and I think there might be enough time to cover it. What would you #rStats like such a talk to cover?

🚨🚨 BREAKING NEWS: #CRAN has too many R packages! 📦📦 Apparently, the R community is drowning in statistical knowledge, but who cares about quality when you can have QUANTITY? 🎉🤦‍♂️ Surely, sifting through this deluge of packages is everyone's idea of a fun Saturday night. 🙄

Version 8.0.0 of my R package eulerr is out and on CRAN! 🚀 Its backend has been completely rewritten in Rust (via the eunoia crate), and brings square and rectangle shapes, faster fitting, efficient handling of large combinations, fewer dependencies, label placement algorithms to avoid overlaps, plot composition with `+`, `/`, and `|`, suppor for complements, and much more.

#r2u had its first 'four million packages delivered' month in March (beating even the two-day Sep 2023 outlier) bringing the total to over 72 million #CRAN #Rstats packages shipped as #Ubuntu .deb binaries.

#r2u. Fast. Easy. Reliable. Pick All Three.

robscale 0.5.3 is now on CRAN: A major update since the last public release (0.2.1).

New: 11 robust estimators with confidence intervals, plus a variance-weighted ensemble combining seven scale statistics via bootstrap. Newton–Raphson replaces scoring iteration (2–4 steps vs 6–8), a fused AVX2 kernel does NR accumulation in one data pass, and all input validation runs in C++ with zero R-side allocation.

Speedups vs existing implementations:

Small samples (n ≤ 20):
• robScale/robLoc: 4–5× vs revss 3.1.0
• Qn: 6× vs robustbase
• MAD: 21–26× vs stats::mad
• IQR: 37× vs stats::IQR

Mid-to-large samples (n ≥ 1000):
• robScale: 2–4× vs revss
• Sn: 7–9× vs robustbase
• MAD: 5–8× vs stats::mad
• IQR: 5–7× vs stats::IQR
• GMD: 2–8× vs GiniDistance
