1) Did some work over the weekend - finished the work on timings.

2) Published a new release for my action on the marketplace.

3) Tried to fix ‘Before’, haven’t found success in finding an older commit that works presently. (apart from my fork of data.table, I tried on my private repository with the same commits on new branches with history retained too)

• Apr 2, ‘24:

1) Tried to set the CRAN mirror within the Rprofile in the runner (after locating where it was), but it doesn’t seem to work: #33

2) Trying to avoid repetition but also trying to keep stuff to work. (like the point above)

3) Now even a commit that was previously working is failing. Investigating - no solution yet.

• Apr 3, ‘24:

1) Did more digging to see why those commit SHAs are failing.

2) Fixed some timer code for my GHA and in the process of discussing with Toby to finalize #2.

3) Ran more benchmarks locally for a new function that lets the user know of ideal thread count to use for a function that uses parallelization.

• Apr 4, ‘24:

1) Got the CRAN mirror specified via a copy of the .Rprofile in the runner; Discussed with Toby the necessity of using the git switch step in my action: #33

2) Updated my action in the marketplace with all the recent changes from this week.

• Apr 5, ‘24:

1) Drafted a few statements for the issue to post today. Updating other PRs to mention/link therein. Trying to discuss with Toby on sharing results with the community (methods, content).

2) Created final historical regression mirroring PRs: #4 and #5
