There was something interesting going on on one of my systems:

If a certain function in #Python was called as a separate process with the #multiprocessing library, then the sort_values function of #Pandas would just hang (and therefore the process would never produce the output I was waiting for). Called from the main process was OK.

The solution was to change the sorting algorithm by the `kind="stable"` parameter. Weird.

Redid my #neovim config to keep up with the times (I used many deprecated
plug-ins, and didn't use #lua).

I haven't the faintest idea what I'm doing, I just followed a tutorial, got #lazyVim, and a few plug-ins, and I am utterly stomped by how to set up the #python lsp, especially as I want to include #mypy type checking.

The duality of #documentation is that I either get a tutorial that explains nothing and expects you to copy paste, or a manual that goes waaaay over my head.

@doctormo In Firefox, I use an add-on that lets me "stash" tabs for later in theory.

In practice, tab stashes are where tabs go to die.

You all have the right to write #FreeSoftware, and you write whatever you want.

And when you look at what software other people are writing, keep it in mind, that they have the right to write whatever software they feel like.

They even have all rights to license it under #MIT or #BSD licenses, because everyone has the right to make objectively wrong decisions, too 😂

@peppe thaks man... it feels good, as I'm on the suck train for a while now 😅

Since I've switched themes, LightDM stopped working, and I can't log in until I first log in on an other TTY in text mode... Apparently opening the #LightDM greeter settings app screwed everything up? Now I'm looking for an alternative, but nothing else seem to support a "switch user" type feature?

yeah YouTube started showing me a bunch of funny "green text" videos, so this stream of thought came to me in that format. sorry.

So...

Is it real, that the International Union for Pure and Applied Chemistry is asking $199 for a book that contains the correct terminology for analytical chemistry???

WTF?!

I found this project called `tofi` that seems to work the same way as dmenu but for Wayland. It is not in the Arch repos only in the AUR, so I guess it is not that popular.

Might be `rofi` the good option? It seems to have a Wayland-compatible version, too. What do you think?

hot take on 3rd person pronouns in documentation:

Don't use them.

Consider, that not all your audience is going to be a native English speaker, and there are languages that don't use 3rd person pronouns in general. Make your documentation as clear as possible by always spelling out who you are referring to, so even people who read your documentation with poor English skill or through an auto-translator, can still understand exactly what you are trying to say.

I would be very happy if the international scientific language wasn't a 100% English, especially when we have symbols that come from other languages. I mean, we should probably also call mercury "hydrargum", it is a lot cooler.

#chemistry #nomenclature #science #iupac

In your native tongue, which of the below options is closest to how you call the element with the symbol 'K'?

Boosts are appreciated for increased coverage.

#Chemistry #Science #IUPAC

After 6 months of using it, I finally made the tutorial on how to compile and install a #Vial compatible #qmk firmware on the #keebio iris rev8 ergonomic mechanical keyboard, using Arch Linux.

I also show how to tweak the source code for the firmware to get 8 layers instead of the default 4! (the Raspberry Pi controller can take it)

#FreeSoftware is great, as you have the right to modify the code for it to do exactly what you need it for!
