The R {dbplyr} package is also a very good way in practice to pipe SQL.

I can’t see nihilism and a Hollywood movie in the same sentence without thinking of the Big Lebowski. Those German guys were the real nihilists! :)

That’s why he exited the market - it’s tough out there for Roman consuls and other Latin-based professions generally.

Veteran of the browser wars here. So many (good) feelings checking this website… I loved that era’s internet. Incidentally my spotify started playing songs I used to download via Napster so I’m now 100% nostalgic.

Actually pandas is not the original open source data frame library, perhaps only in Python. There is a very rich tradition in R on data.frames, which includes the unjustly neglected data.table.

Switzerland tax law is pretty straightforward and the cantonal (local government) tax authorities are known for being very helpful in explaining things to taxpayers in doubt, an experience I had more than once.

You can change the keyboard shortcut to the native R pipe in RStudio if you like. I did it just to avoid the dependency because truth be told the native pipe seems a bit ugly to me (but that’s just me)

It’s just like Southwestern Brazilian Portuguese uses “você” as the informal second person singular, while ironically the origin of this word is the formal version of this pronoun. Currently the formal second person singular is actually a t

Economist here who studies exactly this type of counterfactual analysis. You are completely right: the effect of Gemini can only be estimated if we factor in what the Alphabet stock price would have been in the same time but in a world with

Relatedly, I saw in the thread that people call these types of deceptions as “smoke and mirrors” or “dog and pony show”. What happened to “Potemkin”?!

Seriously what I don’t get is the number of people complaining about iMessage for Android vs Apple when free, encrypted and widely used system-agnostic alternatives like WhatsApp exist.

People using the horse analogy often put it to illustrate that it could be bad for us. As if the horses loved hurling stuff for humans!

Very cool, but unless I missed it could someone please explain why not just compile a Rust application? Is the Wasm part needed for the GPU acceleration (whatever the user GPU is?)

The best advice for most people is also the most intuitive: sign up with a trained German teacher, go to classes, do the lessons, put in the time and effort. Best of luck, German is a beautiful language with a rich humanistic and technical

I'm one of the "lucky few" that (a) really needs autocorrect because I can never seem to type correctly in mobile phone keyboards and (b) really hates autocorrect because often it either gets me wrong or worse, changes legiti

Well, that was pretty cool. Plus, I got to know about the way processes communicate via xpc and that opened a whole new rabbit whole!

Beyond fixing iPhone’s autocorrect as widely mentioned below, I wonder if in future versions Apple will end up switching to phi-1.5 or other models that are much smaller but trained on higher quality data. Would also be cool if they trained

I share your observations on the evolution of specs and of user experience. But I disagree with the conclusion. My observation is that the more powerful experience today is not proportional to the compute, memory and storage resources we ar

Thanks! Good luck to you too! I don’t have experience with iOS - I am actually doing a bit of macOS development with that SwiftUI because, well, desktop apps kind of take me to my teen years building VB programmes (no one called them apps,
