I’m not the person you asked, but here are some random, assorted examples of “structured data you want to learn something about”: - data you’ve pulled from an API, such as stock hi…

What do you mean by “run business logic rules over the calculations”? Genuine question. Don’t most people embed business logic into their spreadsheet formulas? Or is there somethin…

I agree with your sentiments. Makes me think that they are going for vendor lock in. I don’t know if that’s true, but it does feel like it.

You are correct about the previous ReMarkable stylus, but OP is correct about the ReMarkable Pro stylus. They have introduced a new, proprietary stylus that requires charging. And …

Or alternatively, “It’s better for me and my family to NOT be the ones dead in a small car if we get hit by an SUV.” mentality.

Chess and music are the gold standard for deliberate practice because they have been around for hundreds of years and have been studied long enough to have clear paths, techniques,…

> the faux-cassette tapes with an analogue audio input It was called a “cassette adapter” (for anyone interested in looking it up).

Are there any resources you’d recommend to learn this? Or is this just something you have to learn through trial and error? For context, I’m someone who has big blind spots in this…

Your comment is interesting because it shows the dilemma posed to those of us who struggle to communicate positive intentions without unintentionally upsetting people. On the one h…

Your feelings are definitely not unique. There’s a big thread in the article comments with a number of people expressing a similar view. I think you’re right that the whole thing i…

Nice device, but the data is stored with them, so the privacy issue remains.

The code didn’t render properly, and it’s not letting me edit the comment. Here’s my example: (df.method1() .method2() .method3() )

You can also debug by putting each method on a separate line, which allows for debugging by commenting out individual methods one at a time. It enhances readability too. Example: (…

Can you give an example of what you mean by “meta programming” and “manual” in this context? I use pandas regularly, but I’m not sure exactly what you mean here. I’m wondering if y…

So you’re planning on getting an Apple Vision Pro?! :-)

I’d love to use a dedicated sleep tracking device, but they all now seem to require accounts, subscriptions, and forfeiting privacy. Sigh. So I track my sleep with a timer app inst…

Fantastic insight. It’s far easier for me to get up at 5:00 AM than to go to bed by 9:00 PM. Or even 10:00 PM.

There was one about space exploration based on Postgres, but I don’t remember the name.

Agree, but it’s trivial to add support for bluetooth controllers or keyboards.

This link doesn’t say what you’re saying it does. From the link: > For competitive purposes, a monopolist may use forced buying, or "tie-in" sales, to gain sales in other markets w…

There is a version of it in Emacs, called up with `M-x doctor`. The source is in `doctor.el`. https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/EmacsDoctor

I love that idea! It really grounds the idea in a useful metric.
