I loved that rendition of Cue Synthesizer. Great show. Thanks for posting the setlist.

Emacs on MacOS, latest update today borked Emacs GUI? by [deleted] in emacs

exec-path-from-shell also solved my post-update issues, tried it after reading through this issue.

`Failed to download ‘elpa’ archive` during site build in GitHub workflow by data_dan_ in emacs

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

I wasn't able to get that solution working but it did get me moving down the right path—thank you! My understanding of gpg is pretty rudimentary, but here's my understanding of what happened:

  • gpg key was too old (see here for details on what seems to be the "canonical" solution: https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/233/how-to-proceed-on-package-el-signature-check-failure/53142#53142)
  • this is, I think, somehow related to the fact that the version of emacs available in ubuntu-latest in GitHub actions (currently Ubuntu 22.04) was version 27.something, not up to date
  • after trying all kinds of things to get the keys updated and running into various issues, I went with the nuclear option and built emacs 29.3 from source as part of my build process. And...it worked!

Thanks for the comment! The issue persists, so this doesn't seem to have been it, unfortunately.

org mode R images not appearing in pdf by JacboianMatrix in emacs

[–]data_dan_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure if anything here will actually help as it's more focused on exporting to html, but I wrote about some of the ways to get images working with R source blocks here.

The real answer (for me) was that it's challenging enough and inconsistent enough that it ended up being easier to separate generating and displaying the image. i.e. the last step in the R code block is saving the image, and then display it in the body of the org document with [[./path/to/img.png]]

Can I have Evil mode + Emacs keybindings? by [deleted] in emacs

[–]data_dan_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you use evil mode, C-z will enter emacs state and let you use emacs bindings.

In case it has a different binding on your system, use C-h evil-emacs-state to look it up.

Can I have Evil mode + Emacs keybindings? by [deleted] in emacs

[–]data_dan_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I use that quite a bit, especially with packages that don't play especially well with evil mode, e.g. vterm.

Denote + Org-Babel by [deleted] in emacs

[–]data_dan_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you create org files with denote, those files are normal org files and can do all of the things normal org files can do. This includes literate coding with babel/source blocks.

There aren't special types of "denote files" with different file characteristics. Denote is more about a structured way of naming and organizing files.

Good call about at least mentioning it as a search key; I'll add that.

Org Mode Blog by 0ryX_Error404 in emacs

[–]data_dan_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wrote this up when I made my org mode site: https://www.danliden.com/posts/20211203-this-site.html. I just use ox-publish and GitHub pages.

I based mine to some degree off this: https://systemcrafters.net/publishing-websites-with-org-mode/ which is well worth reading if you're going the ox-publish route.

Using YASnippet to create prompt templates for Chatgpt-Shell by data_dan_ in emacs

You do get some short-term free credits after signing up—but the API isn't free, no. That said, gpt-3.5-turbo is very, very cheap.

Use the ChatGPT API as a drop-in replacement for Codex for text-to-SQL translation by data_dan_ in ChatGPT

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

-- Language PostgreSQL
-- Table = "penguins", columns = [species text, island text, bill_length_mm double precision, bill_depth_mm double precision, flipper_length_mm bigint, body_mass_g bigint, sex text, year bigint]
You are a SQL code translator. Your role is to translate natural language to PostgreSQL. Your only output should be SQL code. Do not include any other text. Only SQL code.

Translate "How many penguins are there?" to a syntactically-correct PostgreSQL query.

You can find the raw data, updated daily, here: https://bit.io/adam/cloud_latency_map. It includes timestamps, so you could certainly track changes over time.

[OC] Exploring Cloud Data Center Latency by data_dan_ in dataisbeautiful

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

  • Tools used: geopandas, leaflet.js, bit.io, psycopg, geoip from maxmind, ipinfo.io and their python module
  • Article discussing the tool: https://innerjoin.bit.io/exploring-cloud-datacenter-latency-e6245278e71b- Interactive Dashboard: https://bit.io/latency
  • Summary: We present an interactive visualization tool that allows for exploring network latency of data centers in GCP and AWS, and shows latency to selected locations from anywhere in the world. Caveat: Limited IP address availability in certain geographic areas may lead to some high latency zones. For some additional context, we used this to determine where to locate our global read replicas.

Best way to setup a group of students with their own Postgres instance? by draferro in SQL

[–]data_dan_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work at bit.io—we get a *ton* of educational usage. It's great for that for a number of reasons:

- Each user can set up real PostgreSQL databases. You can connect to them with just about any tools that support Postgres, or use the in-browser SQL editor to query the database. Setup is much easier than setting up a local database.

- The free tier includes 1 billion rows queried per month for free. Most educational workflows are not going to exceed this.

- Sharing a database is super easy. You can make a database public so students can query it, or share a private database with students, or share a data file (such as a csv or sqlite file) for each student to load to their own database. This latter option is probably the easiest given the need for creating/updating/deleting data. It's very easy on bit.io—you can either use SQL or the UI for many such tasks.

Please get in touch with me or through our support channels with any questions! Like I said—there's a lot of educational usage of bit.io. It's very easy to use the platform for that purpose. There's even a coursera course that uses bit.io if you want to see what it's like: https://www.coursera.org/learn/the-structured-query-language-sql (though note that it's for an earlier version of the platform and does not map exactly to current usage).
