Para los que tengáis problemas ejecutando RStudio desde Ubuntu 24.04 probad a ejecutar esto desde un terminal:
sudo chmod 4755 /usr/lib/rstudio/chrome-sandbox
So over the past year I have been using #vscode for my #rstats and #python work. my workplace is trying to move to a unified IDE, and vscode allows remote access and WSL integration for free. However, so far it fails to spark joy in me like #RStudio (despite lack of #vim mode) and #PyCharm do. Everything feels clunky, and subpar. The "intelligent" and linting things are also quite broken in R... Has there been extensions that fundamentally change the vscode experience that I should be trying?
People who understand R and RStudio, please help me out.
I've been asked to use it for a class that is neither a stats nor an IT unit, so none of us are experienced with the tech.
Here's the issue:
I open RStudio. It shows me a mostly blank screen with the usual row of menus along the top plus the RStudio logo and name. Each menu displays (empty). In a separate window it opens the RStudio logo only.
I can't work out how to make it display menus and the rest of the UI.
It was working normally yesterday.
I have tried turning all aspects of the situation off and on again. I haven't tried downloading RStudio again.
Edit: possibly relevant, it's running on a basic laptop that's over 10yo.
🧏 People who code have a tendency to spend a lot of time in various IDEs (Integrated Development Environments). They can be as simple as a text editor or as complex as a full-blown development environment. In this post, I'll go through my two go-to IDE's, RStudio and VScode, and why I switch between them rather than sticking to a single one. ---
🦴 Version control is great, but sometimes it can trip you up! In this post I recount my rather stupid mistake of using when I shouldn't have, and how I got out of it. ---
I've noticed that when you copy text out of #RStudio on a Mac, all the new lines are instead carriage return characters.
Is this deliberate? If so, why??
@gws do you know who at Posit might know about this?
Opportunity Scholars at posit::conf(2024). The application deadline is approaching fast; March 22nd. If you're a strong candidate or know someone who is, please act quickly.
Opportunity Scholarships receive free tickets, a workshop, support for travel and accommodation, plus lots of swag.
I'm setting up a new more powerful Mac work system today, and it's very odd that my R sessions keep crashing when working with large data sets in RStudio. This didn't happen on the older, less capable Mac and it's not happening when I run the same scripts in VS Code.
I don't have time to trouble-shoot this, I'm just going to run those scripts in VS Code. But it's odd. Wonder if anyone else has experienced this and if there's a way to allocate more memory to #RStudio @Posit@rstats#rstats
Is there a way to quickly jump between a location in a notebook in the viewer and the equivalent location in the Rmd source in RStudio? Similar to the < and > buttons in Overleaf that jump you to the correct portion of the latex source to/from the PDF output? I can't find any keypresses or menu items to do this. For big notebooks this would be super handy. #rstudio
So I've been having some uncharacteristically annoying performance issues with #rstudio lately, and I thought maybe upgrading to the latest daily would help, just in case there was some regression...
Turns out the regression was the Copilot integration.
Since the IDE became horribly sluggish and sometimes outright refused to load a project, I ended up setting
"copilot_indexing_enabled": false
in ~/.config/rstudio/rstudio-prefs.json and now I can actually use RStudio again. #rstats
With this release, users can log in to a given Databricks workspace when they start an RStudio or #VSCode session and interact directly with the clusters in that Workspace from their preferred environment.
Finally took the plunge on #Sonoma today. Anyone else wait until the last possible second to update their #macOS because I absolutely hate updating mine. It's dealing with #R and #Xcode for me.
@RecDiffs@hotdogsladies@siracusa Many academics like myself are in no way computer scientists but have students (and colleagues haha) who really need to understand the basics of the command line, the shell, etc, in order to do the mechanics of their work in a non-magical-thinking way. And so we end up teaching courses like this: https://mptc.io
This stuff—understandably, but sadly—rarely gets taught to people, even though in the world of technical computing, Unix still rules all.
@cboettig@kjhealy It is difficult, but possible, to communicate the best of both worlds together.
E.g.,
[R] > system("ls")
is my friend.
For example, I show my students how to do calls from external tools within R. Of course, it is also possible.
And the misunderstanding about R scripts and RStudio can only be confirmed. People think #RStudio is #rstats. Which, of course, is not quite right. When I show the students #RKWard, they always ask if the R/Rmd scripts run there too. 🙃
Posit eliminates the role of “Open Source Program Director” and lays off another employee. Seems like an important role and sounds like a role vital to steering their interests in open source software development. You know, just the mission of what was once Rstudio.
I acknowledge that restructuring may be more complicated than how I’m making it out to be, but surely they have considered the optics of this?
Does anyone know how to insert <- in #Rkward ? I'm trying to exclusively use it for a project, and inserting base pipe (|>) and assignment symbol <- are the first thing I need. I cannot find anything related in the shortcuts or snippets.
@krz#Rkward existed before #Rstudio (need to be fact checked), at least I worked with Rkward a year before Rstudio.
About VSCode, yes, I have used it. It is good for coding but awful for data analysis. Rkward and Rstudio both provide very detailed and granular setting on how to behave and interact with R. VSCode is more fit for Python as far as I have felt.
In my latest blog post about zsh I erroneously stated that while VS Code supports changes to the terminal, RStudio doesn't.
That's a load of horse shit. Of course it supports it, and it takes all of 3 clicks to make zsh the default terminal, including with your Oh My Zsh setup etc.
If you use #RStats#RStudio dailies (let's be clear; their appeal to the snakes is severely misguided tho may bring in 💰) and are missing ligatures (like all sane coders would)…
