I’m not the person you asked, but here are some random, assorted examples of “structured data you want to learn something about”: - data you’ve pulled from an API, such as stock history or weather data, - banking records you want to analyze

What do you mean by “run business logic rules over the calculations”? Genuine question. Don’t most people embed business logic into their spreadsheet formulas? Or is there something else you’re referring to?

I agree with your sentiments. Makes me think that they are going for vendor lock in. I don’t know if that’s true, but it does feel like it.

You are correct about the previous ReMarkable stylus, but OP is correct about the ReMarkable Pro stylus. They have introduced a new, proprietary stylus that requires charging. And it’s incompatible with any other device, including previous

Are there any resources you’d recommend to learn this? Or is this just something you have to learn through trial and error? For context, I’m someone who has big blind spots in this area and trying to figure out how to overcome them. Typical

Your comment is interesting because it shows the dilemma posed to those of us who struggle to communicate positive intentions without unintentionally upsetting people. On the one hand, there are people who would be offended by a reply of “s

Your feelings are definitely not unique. There’s a big thread in the article comments with a number of people expressing a similar view. I think you’re right that the whole thing is difficult. There are certainly people who take offense at

Nice device, but the data is stored with them, so the privacy issue remains.

The code didn’t render properly, and it’s not letting me edit the comment. Here’s my example: (df.method1() .method2() .method3() )

You can also debug by putting each method on a separate line, which allows for debugging by commenting out individual methods one at a time. It enhances readability too. Example: (df.method1() .method2() .method3() )

Can you give an example of what you mean by “meta programming” and “manual” in this context? I use pandas regularly, but I’m not sure exactly what you mean here. I’m wondering if you’re referring to some techniques I’m not aware of that cou

I’d love to use a dedicated sleep tracking device, but they all now seem to require accounts, subscriptions, and forfeiting privacy. Sigh. So I track my sleep with a timer app instead, and lose the detailed monitoring stats.

Fantastic insight. It’s far easier for me to get up at 5:00 AM than to go to bed by 9:00 PM. Or even 10:00 PM.

There was one about space exploration based on Postgres, but I don’t remember the name.

I love that idea! It really grounds the idea in a useful metric.

How is a “SQL database” different from a “relational database”? I’m in industry, so I’ve only ever heard these databases described as relational databases. I’d love to understand more.

by proamdev123 3y ago
Can you expand on this? What is the difference between `GROUP BY` and `SUMMARIZE`? I’m familiar with SQL, but not the artificial limitations that you’re referring to, and I’d like to better understand.

That’s what Power Pivot is for. Once you create the additional table and relationships as I described, you should be able to create a pivot table using data from multiple tables. No SUMIFs required. Unless I’m misunderstanding something.

by proamdev123 3y ago
The workaround for many to many relationships isn’t too hard. What you have to do is create another table containing unique values of items sold, and then make 1:many relationships from that table to the other two. You can easily make the
