If I'm writing code that uses regexs, it helps me if I write at least 1 test case along with a helper function to make using the regex easier for me. E.g., I did the following in Scala recently. Shown is just one of many regexs I used to read SQLServer stored procedures and turn them into functions that would write the Scala code to use them.

val inputIdTypWidthPat = new Regex("""(?si)@(\w+)\s+(\w+)\((\d+)\)""", "id", "typ", "width")

val inputIdTypeWidthCheck = RxInputMatchGroups(inputIdTypWidthPat,
List(InputMatchGroups("""@COUNTRY_CODE char(2),""",
List(MatchGroups("""@COUNTRY_CODE char(2)""",
List("COUNTRY_CODE", "char", "2"))))))

def getIdTypWidth(s: String): (Option[(String, String, Int)], Int) = {
val om: Option[Match] = inputIdTypWidthPat.findFirstMatchIn(s)
if (om.isDefined) {
if (om.get.groupCount == 3) {
(Some(om.get.group(1), om.get.group(2), om.get.group(3).toInt), om.get.end)
} else (None, 0)
} else (None, 0)
}

So if I made a whole $32 off of my experiment on Coinbase (invested $50 when the price was around $273.59/bitcoin and then sold when the price was around $459.69/bitcoin), will the IRS really care about their cut? I honestly expected some kind of documentation from Coinbase with respect to taxes, such as a 1099-B. I never received such a document.

I also read somewhere that the IRS is only coming after people who made $20,000 or more. (Note: I couldn't read this article due to the paywall)

Should I be concerned that they'll try to get their $10 from me and then pile on a bunch of penalties?
That is the face of the problem.

In the construction business, there’s no need to state that nails get hammered or screws turned, unless there is a very specific application. But they tend to structure projects in a way where there is an incentive for success and punishment for failure. That's not to say that it's perfect, but there are far more $10M+ failed IT projects than failed construction projects.

If you work in this industry, you've seen your share of IT vendors delivering barely literate offshore workers through 2-5 layers of contracting pimps. That simply doesn't happen with pipefitters and others.

In IT, the tenure of the CIO other senior leadership is often is lower than the vendor and the project. The incentive for the CIO is to listen to <insert vendor here> because they may communicate what is happening better AND they may want a job with the vendor later. Without the threat of reprisal, many organizations will make poor decisions (both vendor and customer).

Nice paper!

Abstract. This memoir is concerned with isometric embeddings of a square flat torus in the three dimensional Euclidean space. The existence of such embeddings was proved by John Nash and Nicolaas Kuiper in the mid 50s. However, the geometry of these embeddings could barely be conceived from their original papers. Here we provide an explicit construction based on the convex integration theory introduced by Mikhail Gromov in the 70s. Wethen turn this construction into a computer implementation leading us to the visualisation of an isometrically embedded flat torus. The pictures reveal a geometric object in-between fractals and ordinary surfaces. We call this object a C1 fractal.

Hey HN,

I just spent the last few weeks developing this site. One of the features that I thought would be interesting to have is a'Graffiti' feature. It allows any user to put their message and/or link on the home page indefinitely until the next person 'graffitis' over it. It's essentially a free form of advertising. I may monetize this feature down the road, but right now it wouldn't make sense. It's entirely free.

Besides that, it's kind of like Instagram and Hacker News put together. There's a 'Top' and a 'New' page for the most recently liked and newest posts, similar to HN. The layout is similar to Instagram, but Splindid supports text and link-only posts in addition to photos.

I don't know exactly how I'm going to monetize it yet. Right now and for the next few weeks I'll be trying to get people in front of it to see whether they use it or find value in it. I'm seeking feedback too, so please roast it as much as you like. :)
Can confirm this. I run a consulting company and received a letter like that in 2016. They sent a bill with corroborating documentation indicating I’d underpaid by about $2,600. I reviewed my own records, concluded they were right, checked in with my accountant and paid it. It wasn’t threatening at all, nor did I feel like I’d be imminently prosecuted. The IRS, for all its public perception, has actually been sort of a joy to work with, insofar as I’ve had to interact with them at all.

That said, I’m always vaguely terrified each year when I deduct the low five figures I’ve spent on bare meral server hardware. Being audited remains in my top ten fears, even though I don’t try to evade taxes. I always wonder if someone at the IRS is going to see my return and say, “He paid this much for ‘Computer Hardware’? That seems fishy.”

Could you elaborate on what you perceive as the problem with falsificationism? I'm familiar with the philosophical argument that Popper's demarcation of science is too narrow. What is less clear is that this argument over the definition of science currently has any influence on scientific practice. Are there some examples where scientists (or funding agencies) have adhered to "falsificationism" in a way that impeded progress? This is in contrast with the other issues you mentioned: peer review, publication-oriented research and abuse of the null hypothesis (by which I assume you mean p-hacking and its cousins), which I agree are very real problems in practice.

Moreover, "naturalness" is not mathematically well-defined even though many of its most passionate proponents claim that it is.

Also on the meta front, I don't actually see any discussion of the pictures themselves. For example, I can't figure out what the problem with the Atlas Chemical Company is by inspection - that looks a lot like industrial levels of water vapour.

Enigma is one of the very best demos I've ever experienced on any platform. Pygmy Project's Extension is another Amiga favorite of mine. I've never lost my love for the demoscene, but I far prefer new demos on retro systems over, say, Windows 10-based 3D demos. Very much so.
I really wish that the Amiga had caught on in the US. Things like this never cease to impress me. It feels like Amiga was lightyears ahead of its PC Counterparts; my dad's 1985 IBM PC junior could never display a picture that well (as far as I know).
> ...inmates are coerced by their appointed attorney (who is swamped) to waive their right for a speedy trial.

Oftentimes in the US it is less about a busy defense attourney and more about the prosecution offering a plea deal to skip trial. I can't say with any certainty why this is done but I believe it's due to overcrowding in courts and jails.

Many attourneys will suggest the defendant accept the plea deal because it's a sure thing. It's a lighter sentence than if the defendant went to court and when a case goes to court -- especially a jury trial -- it is impossible to say how it will turn out and it could end up far worse for the defendant when compared to the plea deal.

That seems like a pretty dubious claim. For one thing, how often do you (or any home or business owner) not turn stuff on because of how much it might cost them? For another, the largest driver in my understanding is growing energy efficiency (e.g. LED's use fractions of the old incandescent bulbs)
Hi Dozzie,

Thanks for the answer.

Just for clarification,

1. For my case (yea, they are kind of required audit data), I need the log to be able to not loss when sending to logstash or kafka, probably this should be handled in client side by buffering the data before sending to logstash?

2. For volume "at scale", my point is just for clarify whether this logstash could be good to be used for production for big volumes. Maybe can be like 100GB per day

OP states that he still has unlimited private repos (presumably on a paid account) so it wouldn't be cheating the private repo limit in this case.

At least on Bitbucket they're pretty explicit about the rules around forks. Creating a new private repository, you get the option to select [No Forks | Allow Forks | Allow only private forks]. I don't see any kind of configuration like that on github.

"Sheets' initial story was published on Feb. 18. On Feb. 22, Qualls was arrested and charged with drug trafficking after an anonymous call complained of the smell of marijuana from an apartment.

Qualls, who had never been arrested before, faces six charges and is being held on a $55,000 bond, Sheets reports. He is detained in a jail that Entrekin oversees."
