Re: [Rd] [External] Re: Update on rtools4 and ucrt support

Hi all, I will preface this with the fact that I don't do work on windows and the following is based on remembered conversations/talks/etc from a while ago so may be either incorrect or out of date, but I recall one of the major things Jeroen was targeting was use of/integration with a meaningful

Re: [Rd] [External] Re: Update on rtools4 and ucrt support

As I type this, we are eight messages into this thread -- but I am not sure it has been made clear what the actual contentious issues are. There appear to be two toolchains, and they appear to be interoperate (though Duncan stated he had issues with an (arguably demanding) package). Now, I have

Re: [Rd] [External] Re: Update on rtools4 and ucrt support

Avi, thanks. Yes, the whole point of the developer blog posts by R-core are for uses to provide feedback, so that's great - it's odd that it required a somewhat orthogonal post to start the discussion several months later, but I'm glad we got here. Note that the point of the switch is to iro

Re: [Rd] Issues with drop.terms

Small follow-up: (1) in order for lm() to actually work you need keep.response=TRUE in the drop.terms() call (I realize that this is *not* the problem in your example) test4 <- terms(mpg ~ hp + I(cyl==4) + disp + wt ) check4 <- drop.terms(test4, 3, keep.response = TRUE) formula(check4) lm( ch

[Rd] Is it a good choice to increase the NCONNECTION value?

At least in 2015, a github user, tobigithub, submit an [issue](https://github.com/sneumann/xcms/issues/20) about the error "Error in file(con, "w") : all connections are in use" Nowadays, since AMD have really cool CPUs which increases the thread numbers to 128 or even 256 on a single server, we

[Rd] Issues with drop.terms

This is a follow-up to my earlier note on [.terms.   Based on a couple days' work getting the survival package to work around  issues, this will hopefully be more concise and better expressed than the prior note. 1. test1 <- terms( y ~ x1:x2 + x3) check <- drop.terms(termobj =test1, dropx = 1)

[Rd] clarify "by columns"

Dear R Devel, I realized that I've been reading something without really thinking about it. In "?matrix" we have: byrow: logical. If 'FALSE' (the default) the matrix is filled by columns, otherwise the matrix is filled by rows. I don't understand on the first reading what "
