It's all great until they eventually revoke your lifetime pass too and make it a subscription. If you think corporations won't do something scummy like that I have a bridge to sell to you.

Ggplot syntax (and tidyverse syntax in general) is incredibly clear when you compare it to the alternatives. Just try to use plotly to do anything simple and it'll take 6x the time.

The Moon is a Harsh Mistress is also my favourite book!

But... bash snippet extensions already exist. The only difference is maybe it doesn't auto name your variables for you. I'd take that over non-deterministic LLM outputs.

Could you import the column in as text to preserve it?

One thing that doesn't seem to be mentioned is that practically everyone is cheating on online assessments when they can. I've personally seen probably 60% of my masters cohort cheat this way discussing exam questions on WhatsApp.

Grifting is so common and accepted in mainstream media people genuinely don't see the harm in cheating during assessments. To them that's part of the university experience, to win at any costs. And that's why we have nitwits who cannot tie their shoes or write a for loop without having to ask chatGPT.

Anyway where I'm from many exams have returned back to in-person, which is a shame because online exams were so much more relaxing which probably gave a better assessment of people's understanding vs their ability to cope with stress.

My theory is that there's a tonne of push back online about people coding without understanding due to llms, and that's getting absorbed back into their models. So these lines of response are starting to percolate back out the llms which is interesting.

Tea has theanine which sort of counteracts the effect of caffeine, which is why tea generally has a milder effect. In theory if you switch to decaf coffee long enough you shouldn't get withdrawals (which is dependent on the concentration/frequency of caffeine use).
