@_johnmackintosh hi, wondered how you manage R versions in the NHS and whether you have to deal with cyber essentials at all? We’re facing an interpretation which suggests R and packages should all be constantly updated and I’m curious whether that’s applied in gov circles?
.@CMastication @hrbrmstr out of curiosity , how up to date do you keep R versions in your orgs? Do you have old versions running or always upgrade to latest patches?

@_ColinFay @opencpu hi, just wondering if either of you or followers have views on use of S4 in R (or can point to discussions re trade offs)? Had a bit of a search but nothing recent comes up. Thanks

@thomas_mock hi, was looking at your distill blog and trying to work out how you get it to use full width? Same with @rstudio ai blog. Can’t figure out why default site constrained.

@_ColinFay hi, do you use docker for production environments and, if so, do you use CE or EE?

.@jasonleitch @JohnSwinney so schools are shut but costa and other places are all selling takeaways and queues of people milling about...

@jasonleitch hi, could you help interpret evidence behind today's decision, please? e.g. paper here gov.scot/binaries/content/do… on p20 numbers all reducing and forecasts for ICU etc are all better than last week? Given lag, what was wrong with more time for tier 3?
In case you missed it...
In celebration of the publication of the new R Markdown Cookbook by @xieyihui; @chrisderv and @EmilyRiederer, I would like to give away two copies. The rules are simple: just retweet this message and follow me and @CRC_MathStats and I will choose a winner next week. Good luck!

The charts are somewhat more useful than the headlines!
Replying to @fishnets88
But looking at the charts in the article it doesn't look *amazingly convincing*.

@jasonleitch evidence paper suggests biggest issue is only 1 in 4 people with symptoms/ who have tested positive are self isolating. Surely actions to address this more important than closing hospitality? @JournoStephen
Replying to @_ColinFay
@_ColinFay hi, wonder if you could point to anything I could use to explain trade-offs between shiny and angular + apis for developers not familiar with R? Particularly where managing state and complex reactivity would be involved.
