New blog post! Read about Posit's new Positron editor, see some of the neat new features it has, and check out the settings and extensions I use. It includes a bonus workaround for connecting to a remote server with SSH! https://www.andrewheiss.com/blog/2024/07/08/fun-with-positron/ #rstats
Fun with Positron | Andrew Heiss

Combine the best of RStudio and Visual Studio Code in Posit’s new Positron IDE

@andrew Regarding your wishlist: You can get a (better) replacement for Github Copilot by installing the Codeium extension.
@vladtarko WHOA this is neat!
@andrew Yeah, it works quite well. Also, if you select something in a script and right click, you can re-factor the code (it can actually fix bugs!) or explain the code. The "explain code" should be useful for students. When they don't understand some part of the code they can just ask Codeium to explain!
