The Positron Notebook Editor is out of beta and ready for all your notebook workflows! I am super proud of the work the team did to build this notebook experience from scratch. Something we decided was necessary to have a fantastic notebook experience for data science.

New feature in the Positron Notebook Editor: Inline data-explorer view. Whenever you print a pandas or polars dataframe you get an inline interactive view powered by Positron's data explorer. This allows you to view and sort massive dataframes.

My wife hates apps in favor of hand-writing grocery lists. I have not the attention span to remember what I have already procured from the list or how to best navigate our grocery store to get the items. I built an app to solve this…

After using Opus 4.6 for a while: I dont necessarily think it's better than 4.5. I've noticed more designs that it makes that are kind of obvious "I would not do it that way, let me fix it" than I had with 4.5. #ai #claude

For more than a year I have been working on a brand new Jupyter Notebook editor for Positron. This is a ground-up build of a new Jupyter Notebook experience built to leverage all the knowledge and tools Posit/Positron brings to the data science table. 🧵#jupyter

I've been working with #AI coding agents lately and noticed they struggle with long-running dev tools like watchers - either they get stuck waiting for a task to finish that never will or they can't see when things fail or need restarting.

I am terrible about keeping up with PRs I'm supposed to review so I wrote a little menubar app for macs to alert you when you are requested to review a PR. Right in your face so you can't ignore it. github.com/nstrayer/pr-...

I recent got a Fitbit again for a study I’m taking part in. Reminded me of this fun side project from grad school: a year as told by Fitbit. livefreeordichotomize.com/posts/2017-1... Fun fact: a whole class of Stanford students analyzed my heart rate data for an assignment.

I have been slow to get on the AI train but I recently built a demo app to explore the idea of programming language translation using LLMs. The hypothesis being that adding context about the target environment can help. github.com/nstrayer/pol... #ai #rstats #python
