New best story on Hacker News: Show HN: Turn your Pandas dataframe into a Tableau-style UI for visual analysis

Show HN: Turn your Pandas dataframe into a Tableau-style UI for visual analysis 645 by AwsmDef | 52 comments on Hacker News. Hey, guys. I've just made a plugin which turns your pandas dataframe into a tableau-style component. It allows you to explore the dataframe with easy drag-and-drop UI. You can use PyGWalker in Jupyter, Google Colab, or even Kaggle Notebook to easily explore your data and generate interactive visualizations. PyGWalker (pronounced like "Pig Walker", just for fun) is named as an abbreviation of "Python binding of Graphic Walker". Here are some links to check it out: The Github Repo: https://ift.tt/tLdnI9r Use PyGWalker in Kaggle: https://ift.tt/dc95EbO Feedback and suggestions are appreciated! Please feel free to try it out and let me know what you think. Thanks for your support!

New best story on Hacker News: Ask HN: How do you deal with information and internet addiction?

Ask HN: How do you deal with information and internet addiction? 525 by rqtwteye | 197 comments on Hacker News. I have noticed that I am getting more and more addicted to consuming information so I am listening to podcasts while working and I watch Youtube videos in my free time. This is all fun and interesting but I feel this makes me want to do things less and less. Instead of working on my own problems I distract myself by listening to ever more information. I get a lot of benefit from this information but somehow it feels shallow. I think part of it is that my work is quite uninteresting and doesn't really keep my mind engaged. But the work is tedious enough that I am too tried in the evening to do something interesting. After a few years everything feels like it's a repeat. Does anybody else feel that way? Have you been able to detach yourself from the constant flow of information and focus on your own stuff?

New best story on Hacker News: Ask HN: Did anyone else lose their marbles?

Ask HN: Did anyone else lose their marbles? 485 by throoowwawaayy | 287 comments on Hacker News. Typical story I imagine-- ambitious, smart, promising career, was a technical co-founder at a small startup, and things seemed fine. Then I found myself wandering in the woods all day, crying for no reason and looking for non-existent fossils, which I found. I eventually saw petrified sea creatures everywhere and stopped going to work, or answering my phone, paying bills, etc. Things ended predictably, in horrible slow motion. Now I have a two year hole in my life, and I’ll never forgive myself for what I put my family through. But nobody else will ever know that. I’m functional and back in the industry, but it’s not the sort of thing people discuss at the water cooler. So I’d like to ask if anyone else had a secret breakdown? I’m curious if my story is an outlier, or if this is one of those things that “just happens” to some people.

New best story on Hacker News: Tell HN: DEI initiatives undermine the self esteem of PoC within a company

Tell HN: DEI initiatives undermine the self esteem of PoC within a company 538 by qzx_pierri | 268 comments on Hacker News. As a black man, I have some issues with the DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion) trend. As it exists within some (most?) companies, it seems to perpetuate imposter syndrome significantly. For example, I know I'm talented - I've got the projects, certs, and experience to back it up. However, when I have to join a cheesy townhall once a month to discuss diversity hires, it makes me feel like I have no right to feel proud of any accomplishments I've made within the company. "Why should I feel proud of my accomplishments, when the accomplishments were spoon-fed to me by the company because of my skin color? If I were a white man with the same experience, I might not even be here?" In my opinion, it would be beneficial if DEI initiatives were confidential and kept "hush hush" within a company. Diversity is able to be seen. If you're...

New best story on Hacker News: Tell HN: Firefox Is an awesome browser right now

Tell HN: Firefox Is an awesome browser right now 715 by rrishi | 390 comments on Hacker News. I was having trouble loading GMail in Chrome. I wasn't sure if it was my spotty internet or the browser acting up so I gave Firefox a shot. And behold! Firefox opened it in a jiffy. What impressed me most was that it was able to import saved passwords, bookmarks and websites history from Chrome pretty quickly. Previously, I had imported these to Chromium based web browsers (Brave & Edge) but was afraid that it might be an issue for non-Chromium browser like Firefox, but to my pleasant surprise, it wasn't. Some really cool observations in first 30 mins of using it : 1. It opens websites really quickly, much faster than Chrome 2. All parts feel really customizable. I was able to get rid of the Firefox View tab really easily (I may explore it in the future because it seemed quite interesting to send links from phone to desktop). It was also easy enough to customize bookmarks bar to...

Show HN: We built a developer-first open-source Zapier alternative 473 by eallam | 134 comments on Hacker News. For the past few months we’ve been building Trigger.dev and can now share our beta with you: https://ift.tt/DjZQpdc . Trigger.dev is an open source platform that makes it easy for developers to create event-driven background tasks directly in their code. You write workflows using our SDK, and can view all the runs in our web app. Why we built this: - We found current workflow / automation tools like Zapier and n8n are good for simple tasks, but not for more advanced use cases. - Dropping down into code in these tools is just not a great experience. We prefer using our own IDEs, version control, and having access to GitHub Copilot etc. - Sometimes, a workflow requires us to query a database or handle some sensitive information. It would be great if this data wasn’t sent to a third party. Our beta version lets you: - Trigger workflows from webhooks, custom events or schedule...
