#2Speaking of which: does anyone here on HN feel comfortable recommending a Python IDE that's half-way bearable on iPads?

Haven't tried it yet, but personally I'm very interested in Pythonista which also exposes an impressive number of iOS APIs (bluetooth, camera, etc.) that you can use in your scripts. No idea how it functions as an IDE though.

Hosted vs code server is what I used to use: https://github.com/coder/code-server
They've added support in blink as well which is my favorite iOS purchase for productivity on my iPad https://blink.sh/

#5This looks great, combining the best of VSCode and RStudio.
I prefer coding in VSCode but prefer data exploration in RStudio.
One issue with this is the lack of copilot. Copilot can be installed on VSCodium [1] but it breaks often. The other is MS’s proprietary Remove Development extension that enables a lot of functionality in VSCode. There is an open equivalent but I haven’t tried it [2]

open-remote-ssh doesn't currently work with Positron because Positron does not currently build the bundles that need to be installed inside the remote host. We're definitely interested in making this work, though; stay tuned!

How are you guys using Copilot? I feel it’s a PITA and interferes in between everytime I try to use it. How do you use it properly?

That’s been my problem with any non-MS vscode distribution. Missing Remote-SSH and devcontainers. Both of which I tend to use a lot — especially remote ssh with large datasets that exist on remote servers.
Otherwise, I’d be all in for this!

Mostly for boilerplate things like assigning a bunch of thing to a dictionary, it usually knows what I am thinking.

That is great to know. I work in an academic environment and would gladly give feedback on this from the perspective of teaching post grads. Feel free to contact, email in hn profile.
