> **Mr. CCP** (@akabuchiyk; 2/0): 公開しているRStudio用Dockerがしばらくちゃんと機能していなかったので，修正しました(TinyTexが古くてPDFが出力できない，Dockerのアップができない)。確認した範囲では，正常に動作しています。

> **Peter Higgins** (@ibddoctor; 1/0): @hspter Is there an R package (like tinytex for LaTeX) that installs a standard Python installation that works well with @Rstudio? It would seem like an appropriate companion to reticulate, particularly for python beginners.  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1214670904350740480)

> **Robert DasRotRad** (@dasrotrad; 1/0): @DrMowinckels I am on Windows 10.  I don’t know what I did differently, but I just uninstalled, then reinstalled TinyTeX and got a document to knit!  It is working!  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1212838795034255361)

> **Robert DasRotRad** (@dasrotrad; 1/0): I’ve been in LaTex, TinyTEX, MikTeX hell for months.  If you do a video presentation, live or recorded, I’d like to see how this is resolved.  I get to pdf via knit to html.  Thank goodness that works. https://t.co/51Rr6675TM  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1212822240170934272)

> **David Keyes** (@dgkeyes; 28/1): The series of packages that @xieyihui focused on communication are so, so good. I use {xaringan} and {bookdown} all of the time. And I'm excited to use {pagedown} more in 2020 to created paged reports.

Open a pull request or don't: that is the question 🤔 https://t.co/IZ1IHpXfRB  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1212589587220041728)
