New issues in Oracle APEX Team Development all of sudden started coming up in Chinese for all users in the workspace and I can't figure out how to change it back. I've checked all the language settings and they're in English. Any #oracle people have any ideas of how to fix this?

Microsoft seems to want you to install #PowerShell 7, but they bury the installers. You can find them here: https://t.co/or9WF7RVLx

# Unzip a word docx:
import shutil
from pathlib import Path
from zipfile import ZipFile
p = Path("my-doc.docx")
z = p.with_suffix(".zip")
d = Path("output")
d.mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True)
shutil.copy(p, z)
with ZipFile(z, 'r') as zf:
zf.extractall(d)

ChatGPT Молодец!

[Nat Dunn @natdunn]

@DanFChambliss I know. I’ve been thinking about how hard this would be for you. 😟

[Nat Dunn @natdunn]

@chrisminnick Then, it goes on to say:

You can also find more information about the xsl-fo library and its usage in the documentation: https://t.co/aC0lW2aWBO

There is no such URL and no such library. It appears to just be bs-ing.

[Nat Dunn @natdunn]

I asked ChatGPT a Python question and it seemed to make up the answer based on what it thought should exist in Python, and not what actually does exist. Notice this at the end: "The xsl-fo library that I mentioned in my previous response is not a real library."

[Nat Dunn @natdunn]

@chrisminnick I just asked. Part of its answer is below:

Note that the xsl-fo library is not a built-in Python library and must be installed separately. You can install it using pip:

pip install xsl-fo

I'm playing with data for a course I'm working on. The blue slices in these two pie charts tell the stories of two athletes' careers. Any guesses as to the athletes (and what the charts capture)?

def get_search_results(self, request, queryset, search_term):
if search_term.lower().startswith("mailto:"):
search_term = search_term.split(":")[1]
return super().get_search_results(request, queryset, search_term)

2/2

[Nat Dunn @natdunn]

I often copy and paste emails into Django Admin to search for users. Sometimes, the "mailto:" gets included when copying. If this happens to you, overriding get_search_results takes care of this: 1/2

@MBuchecker Thanks! We actually use data from this already: https://t.co/inGWFhtmIP.

[Nat Dunn @natdunn]

I'm looking for good datasets to use in data analytics courses. Anyone know of a list of open datasets similar to https://t.co/CknUqecp5Q?

[Nat Dunn @natdunn]

@DanFChambliss Or vice signaling. https://t.co/M8fY9yQSYe

If anyone is looking for an entry-level Python/Django developer in the USA, I know someone who would be great.

@sfonplsql Epee, tutu

Just learned about https://t.co/d83utF4Wmx - a search engine for finding info about R programming. Interesting idea. Do similar search engines exist for other languages or is the need unique to R b/c of the one-letter name?
