Just got back from a vacation in Poland.
Second time I've been there, great country!
My girlfriend is from Poland (this was my first time with her) so I guess I'll be going more often.
We were staying in Krakow, which is a beautiful city, or at least the city center is.
Been to Auschwitz and it's even worse than what you see on TV 
Salt mine Wieliczka was very impressive as well (but not in a maximum killing capacity kind of way).
We also went to Energylandia, great if you like roller coasters, which I do!
From my previous visit I can also recommend Malbork, largest castle in the world.
The "in-laws" are nice too, even though I can't really talk to them.
Can see myself going back again

Been there. Very very nice, indeed.

But I can't be arsed to learn it.
I do have an idea though - using an LLM to do code synthesis.
Code synthesis is similar to code generation, but unlike code generation code created via code synthesis looks as though it was written by a human being.
This is particularly important for things like parser generators, where generated code tends to be rigid. For example - a generated LL(1) parser always matches greedy while a hand rolled recursive descent parser will switch between greedy and lazy consumption as the situation calls for it. The end result is more compact and more efficient.
I don't recommend using parser generators because of the code they produce - unless you like source files in the hundreds of thousands of kilobytes or even megabytes. Code synthesis stands a good chance of changing that.
Things like Github Copilot can produce code. Code synthesis seems like this functionality.

I am reading a math book and it has very good charts for sinoid functions.
I want to repeat author's steps and need a software to draw these charts:
here is my screenshot for these kinds of functions

You could write your own. I use this library a lot and it works really well and it is very easy to use : High-speed Charting Control[^].

Excel or Libre Office Calc can do this.
|
|
|
|
|
Python Matplotlib Matplotlib — Visualization with Python [^] can do it for free.
By the way, am curious to know the name of the math book you're reading.
I have a small program (in JavaScript) to test our knowledge of Sines/Sinusoids - SineDrill [^]

It's free and way, way more feature rich than Excel or Calc. It has a steep learning curve with its built in command/scripting language but much easier than dealing with a library. Also, there are plenty of examples on their site to help you get started. It also has a ton of export formats, etc. I recently used it to analyze some data myself.
You can check out the demos to get an idea of what it can do and there are some YouTube tutorial vidoes to help get you started. Also, the video link covers plotting sine waves.

I'm now running MS Edge on my MacBook Pro M3 running Sonoma 14.4.1
I'm also running MS Edge on my desktop AMD R5 (12-core) running Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS.
Also running it on my iPad (iOS) and I really like MS Edge so far.
Sharing history and links across devices is good (if you want to -- you don't have to).
I ran FireFox on all these devices but when I watched videos my Ubuntu desktop would lock sometimes -- became quite often.
Switched to Brave and had an odd issue.
Now I'm trying Edge and so far it's really nice.
I use DuckDuckGo as my default search engine. I try to switch it up: use different OS, different search engine, different "office" suite. Mix it up a bit.
Have you tried Edge? It's better than I expected.
This message posted from MacBookPro and MS Edge.

Mandatory at work. Not bad, but still annoying from time to time. Specially the new side-frame that pops up when you klick a link in an email or in teams.
I have noticed the performance loss in FF too... really sad. Luckily still in a decent level for me.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

The side frame popups can be turned off via Settings -> Sidebar.

For me at least it gets reactivated few days after. Not sure if domain policy or minor "updates"

I like Edge.
Only that it suddenly starts using the webcam on my laptop, as indicated by a pop up message "Edge is using your webcam". Covered my webcam camera with an opaque sticker.

MS Edge is built off of Chromium since about 2020. MS rips out the Google telemetry and installs their own.
If it works for Chrome it should work for Edge.
I am glad they finally sealed IE in its crypt.
