Yes, and “genuine question” or “am i missing something?”

Oh that’s not a limitation, it was a choice. You can remove that restriction by changing the appropriate line to scan ~ instead of ~/Documents.

I see. While making this I found that if you hide the Finder sidebar and toolbar (both are options in the menu), then your scenario plays out. In a way it’s nicer than the video on my github.

You can just choose not to use this. Nothing bad about having the choice, so no need to be negative.

Ah yes, that may be an issue. But that is solved by not installing the "window_title_changed" hook, so that the scripts only take effect when new Finder windows are opened. In that case, windows never move around. All the points you mentioned are issues with the default behaviour of Finder (e.g. when opening a new Finder window as is, you cannot predict where it will open and so it may block other elements).

What a spectacularly poor take, it's clearly a joke. Where's my $0.50?

The amount of effort this must have taken is obscene. The creator made a physically accurate pin-hole camera and film inside Blender. I hadn't realised that this is even possible with existing off-the-shelf renderers, let alone open source software. What a blast to watch also.

That is, the fact that the whole package (Blender + the author's work) emulates a physical camera inside an existing renderer is amazing to me.

While at my previous work, my manager deleted a message in such a way that it would make the conversation appear hostile from my part.

We were already not in good terms, and it was a small company so there was little to be done. But having seen the message and knowing the intention, and not being able to prove it felt horrible.

I since left (after discussing with the boss).

That sounds like false reasoning, take a computer for example. You can have a computer emulate itself perfectly (a finger touching itself by that analogy).

Ahh, thanks for the reassurance!

So in the last illustration with all three concepts in a row, why does the monad change the wrapped 2 to a 3 that gets shoved into the function? What makes the 2 turn into a 3?

This is encouraging! Don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any feedback: max@riverspirit.nl

I very likely will. But that's just another thing to worry about and for my sanity I am deferring it. This is being developed alongside my study and two other jobs.

Should be fixed now!

This looks very sophisticated, much more complex than MPLG. Very impressive! I also wonder why I didn't come across Veusz while doing market research.

A main goal of MPLG is to KISS so that users would open it up for the first time and they will be able to quickly jot down a plot design. This way they won't feel overwhelmed when needing to quickly create another plot sometime in the future, and be compelled to use MPLG.

Matplotlib is indeed very slow. But if you ever decide to write a matplotlib version of your package, get in touch, I'll explain how I designed MPLG and what you might want to avoid!

Thanks for the kind reply jftuga!

I understand. I intended to charge for certain usage types only. MPLG will very likely be free for individuals, but you can buy a license to unlock the following (individually):

- educational features such as tooltips and explanations for common python and matplotlib functions;

- commercial use;

- educational use (as part of a curriculum).

- potentially, export to other languages (Julia).

Great to hear, don't hesitate to get in touch with any questions you might have: max@riverspirit.nl

Ah yes, I glossed over that! You can download MPLG from https://riverspirit.nl/mplg

I'll resubmit to show HN when I reach the first stable version.

Hi HN, this project has been my life for the past few months, I hope some of you find it to be of use.

With MPLG you design plots, and when satisfied, export the Python code to further integrate into your existing data processing pipeline.

This is early stage software and naturally, there will be bugs and oversights. Nevertheless I wanted to share this with you to have a discussion about the value MPLG brings to the table. I would love to hear your constructive criticism.

There is a six month long free trial after which you can register with your student email address for a free license. But as MPLG is still in beta, there is no way to purchase a license.

Cheers,

Max

They can try their luck again at having you give access.

Oh, care to link?

I read your comment and agree. Without thinking it through, it seems that if every program provided a full CLI and a sitemap like file, then a screenreader should be able to integrate with said program.

I don't know much about the accessibility business, but my impression is that the screenreaders are all very expensive. Maybe providing a universal interface as described would level the playing field, maybe that's not desired (by the big brands).

I like you

Yeah. The sad thing is, I've never used a single chatbot that was actually helpful. I naturally don't go looking for conversations with chatbots, but recently more and more companies decided to shut down their email address. So the only way to resolve an issue is by wither talking to a chatbot and then a person (hopefully), or by phoning them (and I'd rather not).

Some chatbots even refuse to let me talk to a person at all due to a bug (the dutch water utility service). Another asks you to write a message to the human representative and then discards it due to a bug (bol.com).

Nice writeup, but the title flashes to '(1) New Message' and back twice a second. That's kind of silly in my opinion, from whom do I expect the message? I assume from the chatbot at the bottom right corner.

Even so, to talk to it I would need to grant it access to some personal information.

It all ends up leaving a bitter aftertaste. Whatever the message was, why not place it in a block of text somewhere less distracting.

I appreciate the writeup however.

Alright, I'm new to pull requests but I had a go at it! https://github.com/internetarchive/openlibrary/pull/5451

Also, where I live it is permitted to wear fabric face masks that do not protect against the virus. They do stop drops of sneeze granted. I think those type of masks are useful for reminding others to keep their distance more than they are for actually protecting against the virus.
