- SW42@lemmy.worldtoProgramming@programming.dev•Pulling data from the web to Excel using Typescript and API6 months
Excel is the second best tool for any application. If I need analysis I usually use python with pandas and matplotlib + seaborn. Does everything I need faster than Excel. I do use Excel because I’m forced to but not for data analysis - I have seen it all from forms to schematics to differential equations - everything done with excel. It can work… but I still hate it :)

I always wanted a Nokia communicator 9110 now that was a sexy device. I don’t like Chrome accents on devices, so that’s why I wouldn’t want that.

Yeah, but it doesn’t look nearly as cool :)
Was trying to be a sport and use GPT5 exclusively to write a python script that I could have whacked out in about 2 hours. The task was simply authenticating to an on-premise instance of sharepoint, reading a list of folders and documents recursively, authenticating to a cloud instance of confluence and recreating the structure as confluence pages while converting every docx to a confluence page and generating a link to the other ones.
After 4 hours of correcting and babying it it managed to successfully authenticate and parse the file and folder structure, but didn’t implement any of the conversion and linking logic correctly. I know gpt 5 is not geared towards coding, but it’s the only thing my company has (copilot) and I had to spoon-feed it on details for the auth mechanism and parsing for example so much so that it would have need easier and faster to just do it by hand.

So you mean like Mullvad always had?

Linux@programming.dev•Framework flame war erupts over support of politically polarizing Linux projects
9 monthsThanks for the clarification. In the face of modern debates there is only black and white - if you’re not like us, surely you’re like them. I don’t find it cool that they support right ideologies.
I’m against it and I will keep it in mind for future consideration, but supporting the right surely is not the extent of the things they have done or what they are actively doing.
Where there’s light, there’s shadow and the message for right to repair and their exemplary designs for repairability also has an impact on society as a whole.
I can find it shitty that they support people who I disagree with ideologically and great that they make repairable and sustainable products.

Linux@programming.dev•Framework flame war erupts over support of politically polarizing Linux projects
9 monthsTo be honest i just read some abbreviations and terms i dont understand and I really do not have the time to go down the rabbit hole.
I just wanted to add a viewpoint to the discussion that the potential commercial target group larger is than the bubble in which some of the people here seem to be. I find this legitimate.

Linux@programming.dev•Framework flame war erupts over support of politically polarizing Linux projects
9 monthsHere‘s my take as a relatively tech savvy guy with no introspective into the Linux scene and its political affiliation: I’ll buy framework products because of the repairability and upgradability as long as I can run whatever I want on it.
Most consumers that are sustainability minded (like myself) have no clue what hyprland or omarchy is.
I’m sure it’s a big deal within a small niche but the average consumer won’t know or care.
I don’t really see a use case for it on calibre. Maybe others are more creative than I am and can tell me what they would use it for.
As far as I see it on the release notes it is completely optional and nothing gets loaded until the Provider is defined and activated so it’s peachy for me.

Linux@programming.dev•Mentra raises $8M and launches MentraOS 2.0 open-source smartglasses software
1 yearPeople using smart glasses with outward facing cameras can go kick rocks. Truly the second generation of glassholes.
You guys use editors? Real programmers only need a mechanical hard drive, a magnetized needle and a steady hand.

1 yearI added my answers. Good luck on your thesis!
Joke’s on you, I always use 64 bit wide unsigned integers to store a 1 and compare to check for value.
