I used GnuCash for a while, but I ended up spending too much time making the online sync settings work. For accounts where I had to manually download and import, I would end up putting off importing them due to the friction. I now pay for Quicken Classic and it's some of the best money I spend each year. The online account connections consistently work as expected, and it gets the job done for much less of a headache overall.

I had no idea what this was, so I did a quick search. They include a prompt in their job listings instructing LLMs to write Banana[0].

Thought I'd share in case others were lacking context. :)

Am I reading this right that I can't use my Apple Pencil 2 on a new iPad Air or Pro? I have to buy the new pencil? What?

Is this for one store or all stores? It's commendable that you posted your code, but a minimal README would be appreciated.

Looking through your code, I see that the default store is Chicago South Loop (701). This would be helpful information to include on the website displaying the results.

rnadomvirlabe commented on Sex differences in work preferences among gifted men and women   twitter.com/paulg/status/... · Posted by u/lopkeny12ko

Does anyone have the study where this originated?

This chart is quite difficult to read, and it's not clear how the data was collected or what amount of overlap exists between the people in each category. Also, what were the sample sizes? Are the men and women in approximately the same careers? These are preferences; were individuals asked to rank preferences or did they rate each preference independently? What does a standard deviation mean here (units)?

I take the display to mean that, for example, the sampled profoundly gifted women prefer to have satisfaction in their work much more than the sampled profoundly gifted men. Or does it mean that women rank satisfaction over other items more than men but they really do care equally about satisfaction in a nominal sense?

Can anyone else chime in on their interpretation?

I'm not sure how its possible to get a PhD in the modern era without learning LaTex. It is the required markup and publishing tool for any respected research publication. Since PhDs require (at least mine did) multiple published works in respected journals and conferences, I feel like LaTex is table-stakes for doctoral research and degrees.

Furthermore, outside of my dissertation work, the classes I took often required you to produce other research works which also had to be created with LaTex. Overleaf (a SaaS platform for Latex collaboration and sharing) was essentially the operating system of my PhD. I spent 75% of my time in there.

I feel like it would be impossible to get a Doctoral degree without LaTex knowledge. Maybe it depends on the university?

Microsoft Word still reigns supreme in many fields. Some journals still require it as the format for submission.

What about it? Are you trying to point to something specific?
