I just created this word cloud based on article titles from the last decade of New Internationalist issues. This hopefully shows that these are important, yet often underrepresented topics to be covered. You can find my blog post about it here: janknappe.com/blog/r-new-int… #rstats #journalism 1/2

Installing packages `sf readr xlsx sqldf tmap DT` with one command in the `r2u` demo container: one command, all binaries, all dependencies, and in seconds (cf github.com/rocker-org/roc…) Works the same way on your Ubuntu server, desktop, laptop cloud instance #rstats #rspatial
