Quelquefois on trouve des dataframes où chaque ligne représente un événement dans l’histoire d’une entité (le parcours d’un client, une nouvelle sur un cas d’investigation, les étapes d'un processus, etc.).

My pet peeve with collaboration tools is when they don’t make it clear what will happen on other people’s end if you press X button

In one of the projects I'm working on, I have to deliver both a PPTX and PDF that basically contain the same info, so today I wrote a Python script that:
- Extracts all the text from the PPTX file (with pptx-python)
- Passes it to gpt-4o to clean it and format it as a well-structured markdown […]

I'm really pumped by the announcement of Positron (new data science IDE built on top of VS Code by Posit, ex RStudio) but I can't get it to integrate with WSL as seamlessly as VS Code or even RStudio (Server).

I finally found a good iOS fasting tracker that doesn’t try to upsell me into a 100 USD subscription every time I open it

It’s called Serene and it also has Shortcuts and Widgets support! https://apps.apple.com/app/id1454644270
