Catppucchin Mocha all the way!

Hi Måns, have you looked into teaching ML concepts using MachineShop? From a student’s perspective, this R package was extremely easy to use while learning machine learning methodologies for the first time, as it’s a meta-package.

Am I missing something in my #positron setup? I am unable to render R Markdown documents within Positron. Additionally, syntax highlighting is unavailable for Rmd. Is there a standard solution to these problems? I don’t have these issues with #quarto documents. #rstats

You have to go find it in the settings json file. Actually, I could not find it, so I asked in the Discussion section of the Positron GitHub repository for help.

There are many times where I only want to review code, so I don’t need to console to load. Also, I will write some code that will run a HPC that I interact with through the terminal and not the console.

(2/2) There is still one feature I prefer in VS Code to Positron. Consoles do not start or try to start on launch. I know with Positron you can set

“interpreters.startupBehavior”

to manual, but you can still see the consoles trying to start, which slows the startup down to a degree.

(1/2) The other problems that kept me returning to VS Code have mostly been solved, such as better code formatting (Air is amazing!), Ark using a lot memory when unnecessary, and small bugs that come with beta versions.

I have tried using Positron off and on for about a year but I kept going back to VS Code. With Positron not being in beta, I am giving it another try. I wish Positron’s Help pane would show a package index based on language and allow navigation to package documentation.

Hey #rstats community, I am working on developing a package and I am having some trouble resolving an issue. In this post, I have attached the URL to the Posit Community board, where I explained the problem I am having. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hey #rstats community,

I am looking for the Model Selection book (1986) from Linhart and Zucchini. More specifically, I am interested in passages discussing and defining discrepancies.

If you have a physical or digital copy of the book, please reach out to me in this thread or DM.

Why use C++ over C? What are the benefits using of C++ instead C and vice versa? If you are creating a package that requires Rcpp, you creating another dependency for the package. Should the extra dependency be a consideration?

Hey #rstats community, I am looking at creating an R package to pair with my dissertation. There is a need to have either a C or C++ backend to speed up the computations. Which language do you suggest using and how would you implement?

As someone who is heavily invested in #rstats, what are some scenarios that has you, @njtierney.bsky.social, needing to use #julialang? Do ever see a world where the majority of your work is completed with Julia?

@hadley.nz What is your preferred way to update R and reinstall all of your packages?
