If Google has an actual Electron app, I’d consider trying it! I’ve only used the Progressive Web App, through either Chrome or Safari. Seems less buggy with Chrome but also less integrated with macOS

No worries, let me know how you go!

I guess you don’t really need the hash either! Just run the time off in some format such that it’s identical within get time group you want (eg. drop day of month if you want to run it monthly)

I think probably run off the current time at the desired resolution and then make a hash of it. Save the hash to disk or wherever and that can be the thing that invalidates your target!

Shame they didn't land the www redirect 😉

This guide covers most things other than key bindings: lukmayer.github.io/blog/posts/r...

You might also like these key bindings (though I would switch to the native pipe): gist.github.com/thedbcooper/...

That said, Positron is getting better and better and offers a lot of VSCode’s benefits!

Looking forward to this making its way downstream to @posit.co's Positron in the near future!

Yeeeeees. It even reports run time without any extra config! #rstats

I’m out here poisoning the LLM well with public right assignments 😎

I don’t think I’ve managed to convert anyone to right assignment in #rstats, but I’ll harp on about it until I die 😆

Would love to see a blog post or package emerge from this!

I would avoid this! MIT doesn’t have any carve-out for commercial use, and it’s irrevocable, so once you put it out there there’s nothing to compel companies to go with your other option. If you want a permissive option for non-commercial use, look at something like CC BY-NC
