Trying to migrate groundhog from MRAN to R Studio's pacakge manager, hiccup for M1 mac. Help?

https://community.rstudio.com/t/no-binaries-found-in-packagemanager-when-using-m1-mac-arm64/157978?u=urisohn

No binaries found in packagemanager when using M1 Mac (arm64)

I am testing the usage of Posit's pacakge manager as a substitue for MRAN and cannot find binaries for arm64 architecture on Posit, while I do find it both on CRAN and MRAN for the same date. Code below shows that source packages are found on packagemanager but not binaries, and that those binaries are available from mran and cran. This code runs fine in windows because those binaries are found, presumably it woud run also in Linux and older Mac, the problem is with arm64 binaries. #1 binarie...

I just learned that MRAN will be shut down this year
So, am copying all their CRAN binaries, to eventually put in a public page

This is for `groundhog`, but will be open to all

If you know of alternatives or have thoughts: email me

[100] Groundhog 2.0: Further addressing the threat R poses to reproducible research - Data Colada

About a year ago I wrote Colada[95], a post on the threat R poses to reproducible research. The core issue is the 'packages'. When using R, you can run library(some_package) and R can all of a sudden scrape a website, cluster standard errors, maybe even help you levitate. The problem is that packages get updated...

Don't shoot me I'm only a #RStats baseplotter. (nothing against ggplot2, just a ❤️ 4 base r)

I wasn’t looking for another Mastodon follow migration tool, but the aesthetic of this one is incredible: https://mastodon-flock.vercel.app/

I think lay people's learning curve has:
x-axis: cumulative learning
y-axis: cumulative effort

Had fun Hanuka-time demonstration of Monty Hall for nephews and nieces. 7 cards, one Ace, 6 numerical. All face down. They want to find the Ace.
They choose 1, I reveal 5. Want to switch?
6 out of 7 times I had the ace

“Booty call” and “butt dial” has been offered up as an example of where the literal meaning of two phrases is the same but the implied meaning is very different (denotative vs connotative meanings).

Today a coffee mug gave me another example: “dad bod” and “father figure”

Oh hell yeah. @mozilla is launching a Mastodon instance in early 2023! I’m very excited for this. Mozilla is really good at what they do. Firefox has over 200M monthly active users, and with any luck they’ll build better support for the fediverse into Firefox itself. Mastodon will greatly benefit from easy to use professionally run instances that can handle massive scaling https://blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/mozilla-launch-fediverse-instance-social-media-alternative/

I want to look up the word frequency (e.g., in CoCA) for 400 words. I figured there would be an R package for that but seems not.
Any tips?

(it does not need to be CoCA, any semi-legitimate estimate will do)
