Sonos does a pretty good job still supporting there old hardware. The ZP100 came out 20 years ago and works pretty well today

Do we need multiple planets for this? Already there are sub-cultures who have more children - see https://en.idi.org.il/articles/25385 for example.…

Restaurants use faster dishwashers. Those things are a sight to be seen

>quoting issues Did you mean quota issues? As for our own models, it depends on the use case. If you click the code assist and type "Insert a pie chart of the sources of income into B3", …

It's a conscious decision. The spreadsheet recalculates itself, the python code doesn't. Recalculations in the spreadsheet are determined by the graph (cell Q3 depends on cell D4 because it …

I think it might have been a quote issue actually ... But we should handle failures better, I agree

While we didn't set out to solve those problems in Neptyne, using actual data types in a spreadsheet does solve this sort of problems. Of course we have to be a little compatible, so our dates do…

Home/End : Oh that feels like a bug. Stop propagate that event already! > The handlers like "on_dropdown_change" should receive an argument for the cell it's coming from They do…

Eh, yeah, I think we are experiencing some slow downs all over the place. Sorry about that? It usually should take about the time of a round trip to the server (plus whatever time Python takes to exec…

Sorry, not right now. Obviously something we plan to do eventually ...

Agree with making it as much the same where it can be the same. In this case it should work the way it works with the other spreadsheets though. Click a cell and start typing should work and for me ju…

You have a right to be not all that thrilled because of this. Unfortunately you seem to have hit a bug that we sometimes see and haven't been able to pin down. Normally if the network is flaky or…

Switching tools is hard, that's something we understand. You can import sheets fairly easily of course into Neptyne. Would a two way sync (where a certain region of a Neptyne document and a certa…

Maybe? The closest analog in Excel would be to define a VBA function call it from a sheet, go back to the VBA editor, change the definition and see the function be run automatically everywhere with th…

Hmm, Neptyne doesn't support XLWings and that link doesn't resolve. Where did this come from?

Thanks, this is excellent feedback: * The REPL is supposed to do autocomplete where it makes sense. If you enter A1. it should show you a list of things you can do there. That always feels better than…

Ah, yes, sorry, just Python based slicing. It follows the numpy rules

Nice. Any learnings that we got profit from?

You are correct, that is the slicing syntax. We to carefully interpret the ":" in the right way. For example: sort(l, lambda A:F1(A)) doesn't invoke Sheet1[10:20] just returns the 10 to…

Sorry, not yet! I suppose we could allow editing the code pane using an external editor, but the spreadsheet would be tricky I think. Or do you have an idea of how that would work?

Oh, thanks. That's very helpful. Schools do seem like a good area to roll this out and in fact we did a pilot with a Swiss university (I know, not in the EU). We should look into this.

Thanks! Multi user should work out of the box, but right now it is last writer wins, which seems fine for the sheet side of things. We have a prototype of concurrent editing for the code area, but it&…
