GitHub Streak: Round Five

Four years ago I referenced the Seinfeld Streak used in an earlier post of regular updates to to the Rcpp Gallery:

This is sometimes called Jerry Seinfeld’s secret to productivity: Just keep at it. Don’t break the streak.

and then showed the first chart of GitHub streaking

And three year ago a first follow-up appeared in this post:

And two years ago we had a followup

And last year we another one

As today is October 12, here is the newest one from 2017 to 2018:

Again, special thanks go to Alessandro Pezzè for the Chrome add-on GithubOriginalStreak.

binb 0.0.3: Now with Monash

The third release of the binb package just arrived on CRAN, and it comes with a new (and very crispy) theme: Monash. With that we are also thrilled to welcome Rob Hyndman as a co-author.

Here is a quick demo combining all (by now four) themes:

Also, Ista made the IQSS theme more robust to font selection. Other changes:

Changes in binb version 0.0.3 (2018-10-12)

• The IQSS theme now has a fallback font if Libertinus is unavailable (Ista in #7)

• Added support for 'Monash' theme (Rob Hyndman in #10 and #11 closing #9)

• Simplified some options for the 'Monash' theme (Dirk in #13)

• The IQSS theme can now set an alternate titlegraphic (Ista in #14)

CRANberries provides the usual summary of changes to the previous version.
