RStudio

Now in any case, she showed me she was getting this file size error.

She couldn't load this 32 megabyte file because the RStudio limit was five megabyte, which seemed a little funny to me.

I've certainly loaded some large files in RStudio and played around, and my suspicion was this was really masking another problem, but I decided to just watch my daughter do what she'd done.

So what she did was she downloaded a zip file from the professor, extracted this to a new folder in her documents, she opened the R script in RStudio, and then she dragged the text file for analysis into RStudio, which is what she had seen her professor do.

I feel like at one point in time, really early on, that was maybe almost the default, but that was probably before I even knew how to use Git.

RStudio in the past, Posit in the present.

This is the right tool.

If you have those skills, it's the right tool for you.

But you know, I, I opened RStudio-
