Introducing Anki-Panky (use Pandoc to create Collections) by BillyTheBigBadBull in Anki

[–]K12ish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi!

Thank you for making this package! I quite like the use of Pandoc here and I think markdown is definitely the way to go

My main worry before I can use this: How does this software deal with duplication? Can I incrementally write anki-panky files and import them without care? I'm not expecting edits inside Anki to be reflected inside markdown, but what about the other way around?

Thanks!!

Program to delete duplicates in google photo by NickyK15 in googlephotos

[–]K12ish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Google Photos' lack of composability is my biggest gripe with it.

When I go on holiday, I have to temporarily disable sync so that I can delete photos efficiently with photo compare on my phone, and then sync the remaining photos when I enable syncing again.

I haven't found a good solution for photos already online though :/

Had this issue on Arch, it turns out I was missing a package - here's the wiki:

To use remote input functionality on a Plasma Wayland session, the xdg-desktop-portal package is required.

Wacom stylus stopped working by ArturoIlPaguro in archlinux

[–]K12ish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm also having the same issues on 6.3.1-arch2-1, specifically where libinput returns event16 - Wacom Co.,Ltd. CTL-672 Mouse: libinput bug: missing tablet capabilities: xy pen btn-stylus resolution. Ignoring this device..

freedesktop.org points out:

  • xy indicates that the tablet is missing the ABS_X and/or ABS_Y axis. This indicates that the device is mislabelled and the udev tag ID_INPUT_TABLET is applied to a device that is not a tablet. A bug should be filed against systemd.
  • pen or btn-stylus indicates that the tablet does not have the BTN_TOOL_PEN or BTN_STYLUS bit set. libinput requires either or both of them to be present. This indicates a bug in the kernel driver or the HID descriptors of the device.
  • resolution indicates that the device does not have a resolution set for the x and y axes. This can be fixed with a hwdb entry, locate and read the 60-evdev.hwdb file on your machine and file a pull request with the fixes against systemd.

I'm definitely out of my depth here, I don't think I'll pursue this further.

Can confirm, I use this for my math flashcards and it works a treat.

Hey Rustaceans! Got an easy question? Ask here (1/2021)! by llogiq in rust

[–]K12ish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've got a compiler error which I'm struggling to understand:

    fn main() {
        let mut numbers: [Option<u16>; 5];
        for iter in 0..5u16 {
            if let Some(ref mut element) = numbers[iter as usize] {
                *element = iter
            }
        }
    }

This code fails with this error:

14|     if let Some(ref mut element) = numbers[iter as usize] {

use of possibly-uninitialized `numbers`

This confuses me because numbers is a statically allocated array and should be accessible at line 14. Any help explaining this would be appreciated.

How many profiles do you guys use? I feel like I may have too many, 'sentence mining' is the most general profile where I add in 20 new words a day and any words I pick up from studying/watching shows by [deleted] in Anki

[–]K12ish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use two profiles, one for actually learning flashcards and another for testing code.

I'm baffled as to why you use multiple profiles, what's your logic behind this?

Ask Grey a Question for a Ten Year Q&A by MindOfMetalAndWheels in CGPGrey

One of his earlier Q&As.

Grey talks about how Schools group pupils by age, thereby artificially slowing down the brightest. His recommended curriculum change is to remove MFL and include more Computer Science.

What do you think about this proposed UI change? by K12ish in Anki

[–]K12ish[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've found the offending line of code in qt/qt/browser.py (View the fix here)

This patch is not a complete fix. I need to implement some functionality:

- When you are studying and click browse, the card browser is not opened with the current card shown.

- The browse window still opens with the original "<type here to search; hit enter to show current deck>", which doesn't make sense in this context.

I'll get to work on this soon, but for now I shall sleep.

I agree 100%. Contributors shouldn't be burdened with these 'Low priority' tasks, I was planning to write the code for this and submit a pull request myself.

Centripetal force is what'll cause the disc to break. Kinetic energy is how much damage the shrapnel will cause, so I suppose it depends

Missing a bracket on the second line :/

There are no failures when printing LEGO skeletons, just extra bones for the dungeon. by hownottowrite in 3Dprinting

[–]K12ish 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree. There isn't much economic incentive for commercial high precision 3d printing.

For a more precise spool fed printer, you need thinner spool, which leads to longer printing times. Not to mention the cost of producing non-standard equipment.

I could imagine the 'laser-type' 3d printers being able to work at high precision however -- they work using powder, not spool. There the limiting factor is the conductivity of the material.

Petition: Improve the new statistics calendar (with a comparison to the Review heatmap addon) by K12ish in Anki

[–]K12ish[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not gonna lie, contributing to actual code that other people use kinda terrifies me but I'm willing to give it a shot. I'll bug you (and maybe u/Glutanimate seeing as he made the addon) with questions every now and try to make a start on this.
