the hardest #positron / vscode-style-shortcut for me to remember, so far, has been ctrl +k, c to comment/uncomment blocks of code #databs #rstats

Oh, amzing tool in #Positron with #Quarto for #Rstats scientific publishing. The gitlense extention allows you to compare any pair of previous commits in a single diff view. Am currently rescuing a few ideas lost to an earlier over zelious condensing effort.

I'm doing a workshop on R package development with Positron on Jan 15 2026. Register for the virtual workshop here: sites.google.com/view/dariia-... I'll cover devtools, usethis, testthat, covr, and a few AI tools along the way to help. #Rstats

Great Q from @smachlis.bsky.social in @posit.co hangout: "How can I see token usage in Positron Assistant?" For providers that track tokens, we display in Chat and Positron Assistant icon on the right of the Status Bar. Image from pending 2025.11.0 release #RStats #Pydata #DataBS #Positron

I loved discussing "Positron for RStudio Users: A Gentle Introduction" with @simisani.bsky.social & R-Ladies Gaborone! Check out the recording and materials: 📹 www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fOQ... 📝 ivelasq.rbind.io/talk/positro... I hope this intro is better than the one between my three cats 😹

Announcing the Data Explorer “Convert to Code” Feature on Positron! With a single click, you can copy the R or Python code that reflects the filters and sorts you've set up in the Data Explorer UI. Transition quickly from visual exploration to scripting today! positron.posit.co/data-explore...

These are my #Positron extensions I've currently installed. Are there any "must haves" missing in my list, what other extensions would you recommend etc.? (answers including "python" will be ignored... 😎) #rstats #rstudio #vscode

The Positron Lounge at #PositConf2025 was the place to be! 💻 So much great energy and folks going hands-on with the free, next-gen IDE. Thanks for meeting the creators and sharing your feedback! If you missed it, no worries. Get #Positron now and we'll see you in Houston, Sept 14-16, 2026! 📆

One of my favorite recent Positron discoveries is that you can not only (1) pin tabs, but (2) put the pinned tabs on their own dedicated row (after enabling that setting), which is glorious for workspace tab management #rstats

There is a new monthly release of #Positron available, and it delivers fresh new features for the Data Explorer! In this screencast, I walk through how to interactively explore a recent #TidyTuesday dataset on literary prizes 📚📖🏆 using some of the Data Explorer newness. youtu.be/KOgQuWF0US4

oooh new version of Positron just released and it has (1) github copilot chat and (2) automatic {dplyr} code generation based on filtering/sorting/etc that you do in the data viewer #rstats

Watching James Gunn’s SLITHER on Peacock. First time I’ve seen it in years. Still holds up as a great horror comedy.

WHOA I just discovered the kbd shortcode in #QuartoPub, which automatically creates an OS-specific <kbd> element, You can specify different OSes and it'll show them in an HTML title element, or expand them in print formats - documentation here: quarto.org/docs/authori...

Throw in some font awesome icons and baby, you got a stew going #QuartoPub

Thank you. Our research team at @idpp.bsky.social and beyond enjoyed working on this project, and used @posit.co #positron for our #rstats and #python coding along with a suite of #GenAI tools. Very interesting insights on #CRPD implementation at global, regional, and national levels.

You can use the Positron data explorer on csv and parquet files without first loading them into an #RStats or Python data frame! Just click on the file name in the explorer. (Learned at #Positconf2025 ) Soon, filtering/sorting data in the data explorer will generate R code for that view.

Tell me something you do when you code that other people would tell you that you shouldn't do. Tell me the rules you break! I'll go first: I work in untitled files in the wrong project directories all the time. Like, all the time. Yes, I do tend to lose things 😂 #databs #rstats #python

TIL about the "💡" Show Code Actions icon in Positron IDE This is the best way to generate roxygen2 skeletons in Positron & just found out about it 😅 It also lets you do a handful of other things with extensions, I'm noticing I can share a function with an LLM directly from my script. 👀

I am super hyped to finally share the first release of plumber2 with all of you. This has been the center of my attention for a big part of 2025 and I hope you'll find it a worthy update to the venerable plumber package. The blog post will tell you more #rstats

Super excited to share what I've learned picking up Positron as a long-time RStudio user! 💙

Love the little file explorer histograms in Positron. Immediate flag when something's wonky/skewed in the data

Signing off for the evening, welcome any feedback or suggestions on what to cover tomorrow! I plan to... 📦 Cover more #RStats packages 🎤 Share more #PositConf2025 recaps and upcoming talks 📊 Hype up #TidyTuesday See you then!

It was such a pleasure to speak today at #PositConf2025 about how BADLY 😱 it went when I tried to learn Python ~10 years ago, and how tooling in the ecosystem has changed (gotten better!) in the intervening decade. You can check out my slides at: juliasilge.github.io/get-unstuck-...
