Any #DataScience people here?
I have a huge #BeaconDB dataset here, recorded with #NeoStumbler.
I would like to play around with it a bit, display densities of radio devices on a map.
I know #QGis, is it reasonably easy to import a CSV file there, assign the coordinates to some columns etc?
Alternatively I know a bit of #R, but #RStudio is #Electron now, so that could get a hassle XD
Btw, there is a #Fedora #COPR for R-Cran packages, how is the situation on #NixOS?

that‘s not #Electron fault. You should rant against stupid programers. And unfortunately there are too many of them in my guild…

Super interesting #Electron take. I will admit to being an on-again, off-again hater for a long time but the case here is compelling. https://www.macstories.net/linked/is-electron-really-that-bad/

I've been suspecting that something faster and "easier" than #LaTeX (no hard feelings: TeX is enormously old and has lasted really long!) must be possible -- thank you for confirming that.
I get the utility of web-based collaboration, but ... I really really want a desktop GUI because sending each button press across half the world is *so wasteful*, not to mention privacy issues. The only maintained desktop app costs money, looks spartan and seems to use #Electron

An #electron trapped in 0.1 nm box give me "wACKy iNflATaBLe aRm flAILinG tUBe mAN" vibes. I can't stop giggling. The initial state is a ground state infinite square-well where you suddenly double the box size. Summed over 50 Fourier components.

I need to return to using a native editor.
... that is, on monitor 2 I can resize the app window, max/min, click on tabs, and close the app. On monitor 1, I can't.
If I unplug my laptop from the 2nd monitor, apps work normally. The symptoms appear to be that #Electron can't detect the mouse if it's in the "wrong" window.
Ideas where to look?
