Anyone switched from #RStudio to #Positron for teaching? I'm moving to #Positron in my own usage and wondering if I should switch for my Data Analysis class. We only code in #RStats, but maybe #Positron is a long-term better tool for students to learn? Appreciate any thoughts/pointers to materials.

Useful posts like these are what I liked about the old Twitter. I'm glad some of it seems to come back on Bluesky

I’ve long used FiveThirtyEight’s interactive “Hack Your Way To Scientific Glory” to illustrate the idea of p-hacking when I teach statistics. But ABC/Disney killed the site earlier this month :(

So I made my own with #rstats and Observable and #QuartoPub ! stats.andrewheiss.com/hack-your-way/

For only #rstats users and beginners maybe RStudio is still the better choice for now? More advanced or multi-language I would personally go with Positron. I'm transitioning in my own use but not yet in my teaching.

I was looking for a way to include quizzes in #Quarto and ended up writing down my thoughts in a brief blog post: www.andreashandel.com/posts/2025-0...
Would love to hear from experts like @andrew.heiss.phd and others if I missed (or misinterpreted) anything 😀

@yan-holtz.bsky.social does a lot of visualization stuff including I think d3js. Might be worth checking his website.

I don’t like to give advice to PhDs, in part because I felt like I got tons of conflicting advice myself, but…

… a PhD takes at least 4 years, a timeframe likely encompassing considerable AI gains. I would tell them to think in advance about what things it will change & how to use them in you favor
