jupyterlab-desktop VS RStudio Server

An alternative in the Python world that is definitely worth looking into is the JupyterLab Desktop app, which is a standalone installer that is cross-platform and works great for beginners (no command line needed): https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab-desktop?tab=readme-...

See my other comment in the main thread with more info.

JupyterLab Desktop supports remote server connections out of the box (you just install one locally and a plain JupyterLab on the server using pip).

How JupyterLab Desktop works

Although jupyter notebooks work fine in VSCode you could also try jupyter desktop: https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab-desktop

Learning syntax of a new language is trivial, but also not very useful if you haven't learned programming in general. Learning programming is a lifelong process, you are never done with it. It's just a different way of thinking and problemsolving and there will always be problems that are just beyond you, its kind of like math or physics this way. But problems aren't unsolvable for you because you lack language, but because the problem is simply harder than what you can wrap your head around, or larger in scope than what you with limited time can pull off. But, knowing a little bit of programming and little bit of python can be a powerful thing in many jobs. Depends on which problems you need to solve of course. Get JupyterLab for desktop to play around with, it's probably worth your time. https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab-desktop

I am on the MacOS, and I would like to access the jlab executable like this webpage describes:

This particular issue should be resolved in the latest daily builds of RStudio. The underlying issue here was a conda patch included in the conda-provided builds of R, which interfered with the way RStudio attempted to load R. Please see https://github.com/rstudio/rstudio/issues/13184#issuecomment... for more details.

It is a bug that was introduced in RStudio 2023.06.0 Build 421. See Error with 'cacheKey' in .rs.WorkingDataEnv and .rs.CachedDataEnv. The current advice is to ignore or add options(rstudio.help.showDataPreview = FALSE) to your ~/.Rprofile ... so RStudio can ignore it for you.

A quick google for details from other app: https://github.com/rstudio/rstudio/wiki/Writing-Good-Feature-Requests :)

u/acemachine123, if you’re using Rmarkdown or Rprojects over a network drive, connected by VPN, it’s going to be slow like u/ThatDeadDude said. Best thing you can do is thumbs up the issue here https://github.com/rstudio/rstudio/issues/10417 and use an Rscript file instead.

Hey! I can not select the Noto Sans Mono font in RStudio's Editor Font options, despite it being installed in my system, as you can see in the picture. RStudio only offers me "Noto Color Emoji" instead. When looking for this online, I only found this: https://github.com/rstudio/rstudio/issues/9512, but I am not sure if this really a related issue. Or does RStudio not support TrueType fonts? I can't find anything about this after a quick search
