Release Note Highlights & Interview with Skytrias, author of Todool
In this blog entry we will be covering the Java Card I/O framework, and how implementers can use it to extend the platform and enable new use-cases for secure elements in IoT devices.
This post is a story of a bug in Rterm, the console R front-end on Windows, which has been bugging me for several years, but only two weeks ago it showed up unwarily so that I could trace it down and fix.
The terminal sometimes crashed during co[…]

Prior to getting into more details about the evolution of Java Card technology in future posts, I would like to point out two common clichés about the platform :
If you use R you may have wondered if there are ways you can contribute to making R better. An important feature of R that encourages its use around the world is the support for localization. This enables R’s messages, warnings and errors, as […]

The R blog moves to https://blog.r-project.org, a more prominent location, after 37 blog posts (some of them perhaps surprisingly detailed) and a bit over 4 years.
This blog site has been started under https://developer.r-project.org in March 20[…]
Using \x in string literals is almost always a bad idea, but using it in regular expressions is particularly dangerous.
Consider this “don’t do” example in R 4.2.1 or earlier:

The symbol font When drawing text in R graphics, we can specify the font “family” to use, e.g., a generic family like "sans" or a specific family like "Helvetica", and we can specify the font “face” to use, e.g., plain, bold, or italic. […]
One of the main downsides to the ‘grid’ graphics package is that it is slow. And that makes some important packages that depend on ‘grid’, like ‘ggplot2’, slow. For example, the scatterplots shown below are roughly equivalent, but on[…]
