Topics for generic "misc" tips

[grantmcdermott]

Ideas for a "tips" page covering common sticking points:

• How to enable OpenMP multi-threading on Mac. See here; same steps should work for both data.table and fixest.
• Stata variable labels (e.g. with vtable, collapse, or just generic dictionaries)
• Log files (personally not a fan of this workflow in R, but can explain why and/or point to .Rmd, .Rhistory etc.)
• .Rprofile file for controlling options. (Obvs .Renviron too but that's prob a bit advanced.)
• Namespace conflicts
• Updating and versioning R / packages (maybe beyond scope)
• Project environments or here::here()
• Multicore (maybe too specific)
• ?function, example(function), demo(package), vignettes()
• Getting external help. Equivalents of Statalist.

What else? @kylebutts @NickCH-K feel free to add/cut.

Not sure if I think this actually fits, but maybe adding a note about writing your own functions, and how it's a much more common part of R workflow than in Stata (and much easier to do)

Also,

• "Warning: Package was built under R version X..." is a constant source of confusion and worry for students and should get a mention if we do include a note on package management

I think the function thing should go in a "Base" section right at the top. But agree good idea.
