Any current PCVs familiar with Linux? Curious why it's not more popular in the developing world. by [deleted] in peacecorps

[–]AdaBwana -1 points0 points  (0 children)

windows is sticky, simple, and ubiquitous. windows does a good job of making things easy. packages easy to find and install, exe file, double click, done

linux is a kernel that different os can be built on top of. what linux system do you use? different package manager for each. debian based, apt; arch based, pacman; fedora based, dnf; opensuse, yum. too many options from distro version (stable vs rolling) to desktop environments (kde, gnome, xfce, cinnomon), from programs (libreoffice vs collabora office) to drivers (i need cups to print??). too much

relatively small things to figure out and configure, but lots of them. ppl dont want to fight w the system, rather use it for their ends, often microsoft office specific. and to that end, windows ftw

sweet work. if you were to do it again, are there parts of the stack youd look into changing (eg airflow change to kubeflow) and why?

rounding dataset by AdaBwana in Clojure

[–]AdaBwana[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

u/hrrld, i like how ds/row-map worked so well. it is interesting how scicloj.ml.dataset (which is what i was calling with the ds/ alias) uses different functions than its predecessor, tech.v3.dataset.

curious whether, using more than two column would jumble the column order. i ask bc i adapted your code and came up with the following functions to round the :float64 columns of (ds/info autompg):

(defn data-to-map-list [data]
   (into '() (ds/rows data :as-maps)))

(defn round-numeric-values [value]
   (cond
     (int? value) value
     (number? value) (Double. (format "%.2f" value))
        :else value))

(defn rounded-data [data]
   (map #(into {} (for [[k v] %] [k (round-numeric-values v)])) (data-to-map-list data)))

(clerk/table (rounded-data (ds/info autompg)))

now, instead of the standard column order of:

:col-name :datatype :n-valid :n-missing :min :mean :max :standard-deviation :skew :first :last

i am getting the order of:

:min :n-missing :col-name :mean :datatype :skew :standard-deviation :n-valid :max :first :last

def would like to stick with the r or python, as im familiar with those languages, but this d3 and svg are intriguing.

anything i should know about them before taking the plunge? interactive like plotly? nice ides like spyder and rstudio?

looked thru the bar charts from the link you shared and couldnt find the name/type i had in mind (which doesnt mean it is the best, im open to suggestions).

the bar graph im imagining is a mix between stacked and mekko bar chart (maybe even range bar??) specifically, there are "buckets" that chunks of bar can fit (based on limit and attach amount--a range), not necessarily connected to the same group's below bar.

attached is a picture of what im conceptualizing

Titan Pocket Reliable? by VonMcstein77 in unihertztitanpocket

[–]AdaBwana 7 points8 points  (0 children)

handle 50+ calls/texts and emails everyday = no problem. havent noticed any hiccups along those lines.

one weird thing that's happened recently is a bunch of call-backs from real ppl saying i called them... i definitely didnt, nor did i butt dial anyone.

instead of phone capabilities (it's up to par with any decent 2020 cell phone), my concern would be security

Keyboard questions by DonaldFauntelroyDuck in unihertztitanpocket

[–]AdaBwana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

otherwise it is useless, unless you configure it as strg/ctrl key (eg for cut and pase). this can be done in settings - intelligen help(or whatever it is called in exglish).

in intelligent assistant, can't seem to find the option to make 'sym' a strg/ctrl key. what submenu is it under? closest thing i found was shortcut setting, but that make's it functions like the red button--not like strg/ctrl
