    Did anyone read the grammar of graphics paper from Hadley Wickham? I kind of enjoyed it a lot, and got to know what’s the power source really. I’m amazed so many software libraries came to reinvent compossibility in such unergonomic ways… But it’s nice to have options.

    I think I might prefer base R over matplotlib though… :p

    Can you do a plot a hundred times with a hundred different datasets with these templates? Without having to apply such template to each file, just pointing to the folder with them…

    To me that’s the whole point of programming, you can automatically do a thing and it doesn’t matter if it took an hour to write the code. Once you have it, you point it to the folder with all datasets, iterate over while you drink a coffee and then you have the hundreds of plots.









  • Gaming on linux is not that bad today. Look at valve’s success with the steamdeck. All past and present issues are because developers were aiming to a different platform, with proprietary tooling.

    In meme terms, is like Fender made the guitars for people with different hands. You can’t play, but it’s their fault.



  • One could also think that whoever packaged this was hurried while filling a form, and wanted to provide credit where it was due. So, maybe they were on the best of their intents… We don’t know.

    If I were to use this, I would check other apps from same uploader. Or better, see what permissions are being asked…

    In any case, trusting blindly github contributors on teamnewpipe organization is not extremely different.

    Trust and credibility are volatile and freely given. It’s youtube, not my bank account ;p

    Indeed. Also, I am concerned about self-hosting enthusiasts that install docker (without the advance rootless mode) and blindly run containers. Sometimes these containers are even made by third parties, independent of the app developers. Unfortunately, the supply chain there is up for grabs…

    I have a singlespeed, I live in a mostly flat city. It’s awesome! Most bikes have gears and are more ‘breakable’ as they have all those external moving parts.

    Then, there’s that gear system that is built into the wheel, that’s less breakable but probably less reparaible too.

    So, my advice would be to get a fixie. I used it with the ‘freewheel’ config at first but having switched I learnt of the efficiency in translating hard pushes on the pedal (I don’t stand-up pedal anymore, and most small slopes are a bit easier now!)

    Fixies had a revival for these reasons. Unfortunately, at least in Germany, they’re extremely underrepresented in the market.
