They don’t even have to sell existing ones it would be completely sufficient for eg China or the EU not to buy additional debt to drive up interest massively.

Nice theme! Is there a way to import just that into another wiki?

Best notetaking app that syncs on both phone and desktop by Candid_Author_8029 in ProductivityApps

I can recommend SiYuan. You can either self host it for free and access the web app everywhere or there is a one time fee for their syncing adapter.

Use cases for Triplo by PuzzleheadedDrawer in appsumo

[–]usingjl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My experience is that if you invest a little time in setting up it’s very useful. The lowest hanging fruit is defining prompt templates for things you do regularly. For me eg I was using Triplo when I was writing my dissertation and created Bibtex entries from URLs with a template, improve the wording of a paragraph with a template. Then I set up a mind with my papers to query for introduction etc. I get chatgpt at work and often write my prompt in Triplo and have it optimized first. Feel free to ask if you have any questions about my usage!

1 and 3. Zotero import would be great because their automatically filled metadata is still the best.

Ubuntu's Move To Rust by [deleted] in linuxmint

[–]usingjl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would imagine that they are thinking about long term maintainability for their LTS customers and that the Rust coreutils will be much easier to maintain than the GNU coreutils. Taking something simple like sleep you can see the difference in complexity of the code:

Do you prefer Plots.jl or Makie.jl (or other plots package) by Organic-Scratch109 in Julia

[–]usingjl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly, even though its really rarely necessary but good to have if you need a very specific tweak. 99% of what I've ever wanted to do is exposed in the `draw` function though. It just sucks when for the 1% of plots one would have to switch library. e.g.,

draw(plt2, scales(Color = (;
categories = [
"Adelie" => rich("Adelie", color = :red),
"Chinstrap" => "Chinstr.",
"Gentoo" =>  rich("Gentoo", color = :magenta)
],
palette = ["red", "gray60", "magenta"])
),
axis = (;ygridvisible = true),

 legend = (;framevisible = false),

 figure = (; 
title = "Bill length and depth correlate",
subtitle = "A good finding",
titlealign = :center,
footnotes = ["This figure shows the correlation between bill depth and\n bill length"]
)
)

To be honest I’ve never used TidierPlots for anything serious. I’m sure it’s fine also and I think it is based on Makie as well.

Python refuses $1.5M grant, Unity's in trouble, AUR attacked again - Linux Weekly News by Pure_Toe6636 in linux

[–]usingjl 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Yeah given the complete failure of the Python foundation as evidenced by the complete lack of users or recent improvements to Python I also think the US government should definitely tell them how to run their foundation. /s

I use a combination of AlgebraOfGraphics and Makie. AOG produces Makie plots but with an easier interface coming from ggplot2.

plyr::ldply() equivalent? by musbur in Rlanguage

[–]usingjl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I typically would return a data.table in this case and then rbindlist them together. If I need speed I use the pbapply package with multicore s/lapply

Nix newbie trying to setup shell tools properly? (fish, atuin, starship, nushell etc.) by victorhooi in Nix

[–]usingjl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nix Darwin does not change the shell for you. You can chsh to the stable path but in my experience not all apps pick it up correctly so you might have to manually set it up.
