Behold: PRQL. I only know it exists not if the errors are good, my SQL needs are simple, but perhaps for some complex data wrangling it could be nicer idk

I’ve done a bit more searching and it seems ltex-lsp-plus is the best out there for lsp grammar checking. It’s 1000x better than nothing, though the false negative rate is a bit high for my taste :)
I’m not sure what kind of diagram you’re after, but Typst has Cetz which is graphing + arbitrary drawing of shapes, paths, splines, etc.
Typst also has fletcher “maker of arrows” for diagrams which is my personal fave for the work I do
PartiallyApplied@lemmy.worldto Science Memes@mander.xyz•this is a meme about meEnglish13·4 months agoWord definitely has its niche.
However, I find for many of my tasks, LaTeX or Typst just make sense. I don’t need to worry about out of date figures. I can customize styling instantly. I can track my changes with Git. Grammar checking is rough tho. lsp-like grammar checking would revolutionize my world lol.
I can personally attest that I transitioned to LaTeX from Word, when Word wouldn’t handle equations correctly, or would crash when I had too many. It doesn’t matter if I can put out 50 word equations faster than LaTeX if I’m breaking my flow state to restart my editor.
They overlap in their ecosystem niches but in no way is one a complete replacement for the other. LaTeX has a larger niche than Word which makes it a really safe default.

PartiallyApplied@lemmy.worldto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•When software devs expect you to pipe a script straight from the internet into Bash...English1·4 months agoDo you know of any Nix projects which are basically nix-but-as-if-was-brew?
I get that this violates the Nix philosophy, but it’s hard convincing collabs to install a root package manager, which has install commands like:
nix profile install nixpkgs/nixos-24.11#hello
I get that it’s flexible, but I would like something more like:
nix install hello
I want three things:
- rootless
- can manage “casks”
- global cli with support for per-project flakes
Do you know if this exists / is being developed?
PartiallyApplied@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•No, 150-Year-Olds Aren't Collecting Social Security Benefits6·4 months agoI would love to see an actual source/docs stating 1875 is a commonly used epoch, rather than microblog posts. Either bring hard facts or shut up, because…
Arguing over the epoch completely misses the obvious refutation. If there’s errors in the database, that might be because there’s hundreds of millions of individuals represented in the DB, and no data should be made to be perfect at the cost of people starving. I would posit the bigger a tech system gets, the more social constraints it will acquire. The errors in the database could mean there’s underserved people, and we should fund efforts to represent these people, so their needs can be met. What errors don’t mean is that the SSA is being defrauded to such an extent that it should be shut down, but the way Musk has worked his claim makes that implication natural.
The epoch could be yesterday or at the building of the tower of Babylon and it doesn’t matter, they’ll just deflect and say there’s people who are ageless in the dataset who are defrauding the system and it’s all corrupt
This article gives validity to opinions of idiots meddling. This is implicit, and perhaps accidental, complicity in an outrageous government outreach. Musk is actively tearing down the government.
Sure tech is cool, but it’s nowhere near as important as the social issues surrounding it and for a tech based newspaper to ignore that basic fact is embarrassing
data.table is so cool! I was shocked to realize it has no dependencies (outside of base), very elegant and very fast for sure.
tidyverse is more than a pandas analogue. It’s more like Pandas (and a little more sugar) + Expression + Altair (or matplotlib) and a few others less used. It’s very beautiful. It aligns well with R and is quite functional stylistically and is usually pretty clean syntactically.
The books are really good, but the docs(tidyverse and R) are kinda poor compared to Python (and Rs documentation tools are very limited — PDFs mostly). R package management is much worse than Python’s.
It’s certainly powerful, it’s certainly elegant, and Wickham is an incredible technical writer.
There’s lots of really incredible research done in the R ecosystem.
Caution: Lots of docs are affiliated with Posit, including Wickham’s. Posit wants to sell their cloud offerings. This often leads to over-optimism in documentation.
The language is definitely capable of serious work, and is pretty good at dataviz, psych, and gis.
I highly recommend giving it a try, if you like functional programming or want to see some cool data science ideas and statistics research.
You probably already know this, but for those who don’t, git can globally ignore patterns. It’s the first thing I set up after logging in. Honestly wish git just shipped this way out of the box (maybe match .DS_Store by name and some magic bytes?) with a way to disable it. Just for the sake of easier onboarding
PartiallyApplied@lemmy.worldto Programming@programming.dev•Is Python's tooling incredibly difficult, or am I just stupid?3·8 months agoIf you’re happy with your solution, that’s great!
uv combines a bunch of tools into one simple, incredibly fast interface, and keeps a lock file up to date with what’s installed in the project right now. Makes docker and collaboration easier. Its main benefit for me is that it minimizes context switching/cognitive load
Ultimately, I encourage you to use what makes sense to you tho :)
This github page isn’t visible on my mobile device because the ads block the view.
The concept sounds truly interesting but distribution is everything. The AdSense you have is probably not very profitable and is actively hurting your recognition. As politely but bluntly as possible: If you want appreciation and adoption, remove the advertisements. You’re selling us on your idea, not whatever bottom barrel consumerism Google wants me to buy
