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.

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?

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?
