TIL Building #Bayesian regression models with {cmdstanr} can result in a ton of large files stored in Temp on the hard drive that can clog the machine. It literally begged me to return to frequentist statistics. #rstats

Issue: https://discourse.mc-stan.org/t/deleting-temporary-files-created-by-cmdstanr/32485

Deleting temporary files created by cmdstanr

I am running cmdstanr within an mclapply loop, e.g. mod <- cmdstan_model(stan_file='myModel.stan') results <-do.call(rbind,mclapply(1:1000,mc.cores=4,function(i) { ... fit <- mod$sample(data=input_data, chains=4, parallel_chains=4) ... }) Stan runs fine but it creates several large files within the rtmpfile /tmp/RtmpXXX and they do not get removed, but actually accumulate as the mclapply loop pro...

SVN commit r89366 brought two new and very interesting accessor for CRAN state internals and history to #rstats 'R-devel'.

We can probably build on these: history of 'actions', and history/state of 'issues'.

You shall love thy #rstats

Very excited to be working with Angie Reed + the Tribal Exchange Network (https://www.tribalexchangenetwork.org/) on the revival of {redoc}, an #rstats package enabling collaboration on reproducible reports via tracked changed in WYSIWYG documents. Thanks to the @RConsortium for selecting us, and congrats to the other grant winners!

Dear #Letsencrypt, you helped secure millions and millions of servers, not just web servers. But your announcement at https://letsencrypt.org/2025/05/14/ending-tls-client-authentication/ about ending Ending TLS Client Authentication Certificate Support in 2026 because Google changes their requirements would result in your certificates becoming a possible risk for ensuring SMTP traffic. Please think again. Please.

Ending TLS Client Authentication Certificate Support in 2026

Let’s Encrypt will no longer include the “TLS Client Authentication” Extended Key Usage (EKU) in our certificates beginning in 2026. Most users who use Let’s Encrypt to secure websites won’t be affected and won’t need to take any action. However, if you use Let’s Encrypt certificates as client certificates to authenticate to a server, this change may impact you. To minimize disruption, Let’s Encrypt will roll this change out in multiple stages, using ACME Profiles:

I am excited to share a new version of svglite for #RStats with the world. It includes support for all the new features in the graphics engine as well as providing a more powerful and polished experience for embedding web fonts in the file.
