There was a service a while back - I cant recall what it was - but it would send you a question via email asking what you did today and you would reply to it and it would keep a history...

I cant recall what that was now though.

I really like this though.

Why scummy?
Couldn't you just make your own off the tick data you're streaming?
I’m still stunned at how bad Windows search is. They’ve been trying to get this right since they begun development of Windows Vista nearly 20 years ago.

Meanwhile in OS X land, their 16-year-old search implementation has always been so good that in a lot of cases, the file manager isn’t necessary to find even the most obscure and poorly organized documents.
So I'm not alone with my genius idea.... dang
I wish the name wasn't NSFW. OR not safe for teaching kids about programming in mimimalist environments.
Did you tell them why you were closing the issues as #WONTFIX? I maintain a few projects in the "hundreds of stars" range, and I also send PRs to numerous projects with regularity (I make a point to fix typos and such in documentation when I find them). Of course some people are low effort issuers, but some people put time and effort into opening an issue on a project. When the maintainer closes it without even taking 60 seconds to type a quick message why, it shows me that the maintainer is the entitled dick, not the user. It certainly goes both ways. I hope you don't just close issues without an explanation. If people disagree and complain, that's one thing, but at least attempt to articulate your reasons.
I just picked up maintainership of django-address. It is a set of models and methods for dealing with postal addresses in Django.

The product is dominant in seo and many django beginners and intermediate install it without looking at it.

But it has also languished for years and failed to get an important model rearchitecture after the author had to stop work on it.

Still, I see it as a great turnaround opportunity and I’ve already learned a lot about OS and the pressure of knowing people want code fixed.

I think this article is for the author, Luke, who made this for himself for Australian addresses when django was still a smaller framework.

But it is also for me as someone trying to get context on how it has languished so long, and motivation to steer this thing into a place where it into helping more people without undue pressure.
That's the point isn't it? Until individuals take the necessary precautions and businesses provide their employees with safe working conditions the only reasonable course of action is to limit social interaction.

The shutdown isn't a solution, it's a way to buy time and prevent things from getting worse while we adapt and find solutions.

If you want to shift the debate from whether the shutdown has merit to how long it should last then it's a matter of judging the progress being made.

As for the nature of the virus, it's certainly not as deadly as HIV but it's a lot more infectious. Most people would be fine but if half the population is infected the resulting death toll will be enormous. I wouldn't presume it will be season either, from what I can tell the consensus is that we will be dealing with this until vaccination is widespread.

What could you realistically make illegal? Api/services can't be purchased by any of the companies that use them?
I wish the author put the last paragraph first. It makes a ton of sense. It also could be a real interface.

The painstaking detail analysis is useful, though.
To add contrast, australia spends 32b on defence, 36b on education, 82b on health, 180b on social security & welfare, out of ~500b total government spend.

Spent 3 years desperately trying to avoid going homeless due a chronic illness.

Turns out disability insurance is a joke.

I still work from home to hide how sick I am most days. But I can function well enough that people don’t notice to much.
Similar to Posterous?
I really enjoy using navicat too, it is much more intuitive for me coming from mssql
Thanks! Yeh I think the same, specially with the rise of core count. I think an i3.metal is at 96vcpus. I estimate a machine like that should hold around 400K partitions just fine with us. I should measure this weekend.
At the risk of stereotyping a bit here (from personal experience), Wordpress users tend to be a lot less technical than C programmers, and I find the less technical the audience, the more entitled they tend to be. My theory is that because they don't sling code themselves, they just don't understand how much work and effort goes in to making good software. Because they don't understand it, they tend to not appreciate it.
What's really cool about Alpaca is the integration with zipline via pylivetrader. This means that you can take your backtested factor models and easily convert them to live trading. Also, they have pretty lax margin requirements. You can borrow 2x the cash you have, 4x for intraday if you're a pattern day trader, and the maintenance requirement is only 25%. And with zero commissions, suddenly it's possible for the average joe retail investor to actually run a legit factor strat. If you're only trading highly liquid securities, it could even make sense to run a intraday only strat at 4x leverage. Lets say you're trading stuff that has spreads around 4 bips, your lost returns are going to be around 10% per year from trading costs. That's certainly a lot and you'll need a kick-ass strategy, but that 4x leverage might let you get there.
Thate doesn't explain the Vietnam War. The economy and military production is big part of it, but not the complete picture. Logistics, technology, population, geography, national cohesion, political unity, etc all play a role.
I also discovered that recently. It's gone the way of the verbatim constraint.

Control is being forfeited to steer users back to more profitable content in order to capitalize on a captive market.

I wonder if being open about it would be so bad for business, instead of the attempt to manipulate users into enjoying the ratcheting-up of their impotence.

Now, Youtube truncates search results and loads the recommendation stream instead, long before hits are exhausted.

At least it's been a while since Silicon Valley was keeping the mythical personalized advertising spiel in active circulation.
I agree completely with respect to the e-reader point. I was _almost_ ready to preorder V2, but that shortcoming gave me pause. I really hope they step it up a notch with that.
To be honest you sound like someone who lives in Sterling Heights that still thinks Detroit is dangerous, when it hasn't been that way in a long time. My wife and I regularly run around one of these "scary" neighborhoods (where we live) even at night in summer and we haven't been hassled in any shape or form for years.

Just my anecdata though.
This doesn't make sense. If I decide to give more money to the government, nothing will change because my money is a drop in the bucket.

If everyone gives more money, we can actually make things better.

I am willing to pay more taxes if it actually helps, which is why I will only give more when we make everyone give more.
Been using it for years, I really appreciate your work!
Yeah, this will be part of what holds back A.I. in the future. A.I. software is being built in the mirror of how the developer thinks. It's being made to think and act robotic with error correction instead of being made of mistakes, misunderstandings and abstractions like a real person.
I wish there was a complete FP engine. Most 'patterns' in FP are (surprise) just functions. There's a lot of blogs with some simple examples from scratch, and that's really cool, but there's a lot of room for a complete system. What isn't needed is all this encapsulation and inheritance I see in many other big engines.
Headlines are usually written by sub-editors, not the writer of the article. It's the headline writer's job to get you to click, they don't really care whether or not the headline is accurate so long as you clicked on the article (and saw the ads).
For anyone who is trying to understand what the Cannonball Run is all about and resorts to some of the movies inspired by it, the reference movie is "The Gumball Rally". The actual "Cannonball Run" movies with a laundry list of "stars" were, frankly, not so great.
Maybe just remove it from the commit history? People are still going to pay the cost even if you removed it in the most recent commit.
When I've interviewed developers, I will look at their profile if they include it in their resume, but only give it a cursory look, to maybe ask some high level questions in the interview. If I had a lot of time to do in-depth code reviews of projects that aren't my job, we wouldn't be needing to hire :-)
There is an obvious isomorphism between the set of all sheep and the singleton sets of sheep, so practically speaking it shouldn’t be much of a barrier.
You are confusing marginal and effective tax rate, a very common mistake. At $150k you pay only 29%+12% on each additional dollar, but your earlier dollars were taxed much less.

https://www.taxtips.ca/calculators/basic/basic-tax-calculato... is a good resource - it shows that your effective tax rate in Ontario on $150k gross is 30.3%.

You probably also contribute 18% to your RRSP on that huge salary, which drops your effective tax rate to about 27.4%.

Also, you aren't paying 13% VAT on everything you buy - lots is exempt like food and your mortgage/rent. Even if you spend every dollar of your net income, VAT is probably closer to 8% of your total net income (which is 72.6% of your gross, so 5.8% of your gross going to VAT).

CPP and EI total $3754 in 2020, so that's another 2.5% total.

So that's a total of 35.8% tax on your gross salary. Also note it's much less if you have any common deductions, like children, dependents, education expenses, etc.
My laziness paid off this time!
Since there are comments refuting you, I'll provide an anecdote the other way. My coworkers absolutely do this to every single potential interviewee.

On multiple occasions I've had to talk them out of not wanting to even interview based on one random file in a random repo by the interviewee.

Because of this, when I start applying I hide all my repos that I'm not mostly proud of.
The compromise is allowing people and companies to make their own choices about their own well-being and livelihood.
You can get methanol pure and cheap from auto stores (in regions that get cold, anyway). Just try not to get it on your skin or breath the fumes too much. It's quite a bit more toxic. Definitely don't use it to make hand sanitizer.
Honestly skeuomorphism was so much better than the flat mobileshit we're stuck with now.

We had Windows 7, gnome 2, OSX Lion, all of which had mild drop shadows, 3d depth in icons and window borders, clearly delineated edges between various UI controls, and then it was as if one day some shadow illuminati council of UI design put out a worldwide decree that everything has to be flat and use indecipherable heiroglyphic vector icons made of little dots and lines.

I've been waiting for some kind of aesthetic counter-reaction to take place and it seems like it actually might be starting to happen. 2010-era was the peak of UI design and it's high time we went back, godammit!
Americans tend to vandalize speed cameras. As long as repairing/replacing the cameras costs more than the revenue they generate from tickets, they’re not worth deploying.

The "very hot gas" in the introduction means plasma. There is a peculiar guild restriction on use of the word "plasma" in astrophysical publications, particularly in introductions and abstracts (with admirable exceptions for solar physics).

X-rays are always interpreted as blackbody radiation from "very hot gas" (interpreted as being into the millions of degrees) and not from, e.g., sychrotron radiation from electrons accelerated in a plausibly much cooler plasma. While the only things not plasma that astronomers can see are planets, none of it may be interpreted as doing anything, except purely gravitationally.

Much of this must originate from limited education on plasma fluid phenomena among astronomers, but that needs its own explanation. Prominent mention of plasma-fluid dynamic phenomena is a career-limiting move. Magnetic fields and their effects may be mentioned, but only where they can be assigned to a gravitationally condensed body such as a star, neutron star, or black hole accretion disc. Current sheets must be interpreted as "shocks" (which also exist).

I guess that this avoidance arises from the utter mathematical intractability of plasma fluid dynamics (itself routinely confused with the overwhelmingly simpler magnetohydrodynamics), which make it hard to elaborate the consequences of a hypothesis. Perhaps a solar physicist can explain further? I am genuinely curious.
If you are curious his grand-father knew another great mind John Stuart Mill, also Bertrand Russell wrote this thing called principia mathematica and wrote 30 pages on proving 1+1=2 using formal logic. This man has achieved so much for one person, most notably writing history of Western Philosophy [1]

Why will you fail with your startup?
Hi guys, we all know that 9 of 10 startups fail, but do you know how many times that 1 startup failed before it has become successful? My point is, there is no answer to this question. All we have to do is not to make the same mistakes every time. For example:
1) We have launched a mobile keyboard with real gifts in December 2019, but soon we have realized that it was too difficult for users, and struggled with marketing. It was really hard to buy emoji gifts in a keyboard, so we closed it.
2) In march 2020 we launched Venmo style app with digital gift cards. It was the easy way to send a digital gift card to your friend on a public feed. Soon we realized that people prefer plastic gift cards, and digital gift cards were best for companies, so we closed it.
3) Now we did our homework and realized that gift crowdfunding apps are too difficult, they are for any occasion and everyone, so it means for no one. We have decided to change it and launched our 3 MVP Shaker (Super Gift Maker) in May 2020.
Just think, now you don't have to worry about unwanted gifts or about a lot of small gifts. You will take care of everything, and it's free.
Do you want to know how does it work?
1. We create a birthday gift crowdfunding for you.
2. We ask your followers, subscribers, fans, etc to fund your gift.
3. We negotiate a gift with your funders.
4. We purchase a gift for you.
5. We deliver a gift to you.
What I want to say is just keep launching, and don't do the same mistakes, and soon you will become that 1 successful startup.
Thanks and have a great day!

My issues have been insanely expensive to figure out. But treatment has been very cheap now that I know the issues and what pills work.

Main problem was being dismissed for 3 years and doctors not taking to each other.

I can see what people start going to alternative medicine.

One of the treatment options is a specialized diet. So all the crazy diet people are actually circling around valid treatment options.

Health care can be done cheaper. But when a doctor has 5 minutes, there is only so much that can be done.
Everyone knows that it’s actually pronounced like the g in “garbage”.
Sure, but the author didn't claim that grubhub was doing that. The author claimed that the grubhub had an ad saying you could order "Saddleback bbq", which took you to an app where you could indeed order saddleback bbq (among other things). That seems to me to be a significantly different situation.
I think that's the point. Maintainers have no obligation to do anything for anyone
kdb+/q let's you call the server using really any language you would like: https://code.kx.com/q/interfaces/

Though, I don't think there's really a problem with just doing I/O in q directly. The theoretical performance won't be as good, but since I/O is, well, I/O bound, it shouldn't really matter. And besides, I bet that even when doing non-array operations, q is faster than Python or Ruby.
Trillions printed, inflation flat.

Please tell me more.
That's right, but you can be more specific. "Warning: code quality isn't great. PRs accepted". Or "warning, experimental" etc.
That $2 raise is probably costing them in the neighborhood of $150-$200 million a month, which for Amazon is no small change.
@agallego I just signed up on your wait list through the vectorized.io website. I'm super interested in this project.
Arguably there are no winners in war
One way to accomplish this is to just use private windows for your banking or other critical sites, and then don't let extensions run in private windows. You can configure this per extension in Firefox and Chrome.
It works for me. You can go to archive.today and paste the original link too.
Ah, I meant it's unlikely we'll have a sanctioned event for the Cannonball Run, but thanks for the interesting links!
I wouldn't being it back. The platform was merely abused by scammers/advertisers/illegal activities. Most of the blogs were cool and had their own style but the majority was used by someone who couldn't bother to buy a domain, install WordPress and write quality stuff
Seal them in a bag in a bag with a desiccant pack.

A wide range of nice cookies and crackers get shipped out of Japan to the USA, individually wrapped and then sealed in a bag with desiccant, and keep perfectly well for months as long as they are in the package. As soon as you unpack them they go stale like everything else.
The fact that there exists a position whose purpose is to increase clicks (without caring for accuracy) shows how messed up this is.
Makes sense and I think that creates a different dynamic and community. You can delete emails by just sending $DELETEME.

It was considered to do 'unlisted' posts, but in the end, what's a blog if it's not for worldwide publication?
I think you made a typo; long-wavelength is red, and blue is short wavelength.
I need to publish it publicly to install it via pip, npm, cargo, etc. for public use.
>"The die photo above shows the "engine" that ran the microcode program; it is basically a simple CPU. Next to it is the large ROM that holds the microcode."

[...]

The chip's data path consists of 67 horizontal rows, so it seemed pretty clear that the 134 rows in the ROM corresponded to two sets of 67-bit constants. I extracted one set of constants for the odd rows and one for the even rows, but the values didn't make any sense. After more thought, I determined that the rows do not alternate but are arranged in a repeating "ABBA" pattern.7 Using this pattern yielded a bunch of recognizable constants, including pi and 1. Bits from those constants are shown in the diagram below. (In this photo, a 1 bit appears as a green stripe, while a 0 bit appears as a red stripe.) In binary, pi is 11.001001... and this value is visible in the upper labeled bits.

[...]

"The basic idea of CORDIC is to compute tangent and arctangent by breaking down an angle into smaller angles, and rotating a vector by these angles. The trick is that by carefully choosing the smaller angles, each rotation can be computed with efficient shifts and adds instead of trig functions. Specifically, suppose we want to find tan(z). We can break z into a sum of smaller angles: z ≈ {atan(2-1) or 0} + {atan(2-2) or 0} + {atan(2-3) or 0} + ... + {atan(2-16 or 0}. Now, rotating a vector by, say atan(2-2), can be done by multiplying by 2-2 and adding. The key thing is that multiplying by 2-2 is just a fast bit shift. Putting this all together, computing tan(z) can be done by comparing z with the atan constants, and then doing 16 cycles of additions and shifts, which are fast to perform in hardware.13 To make the algorithm work, the atan constants are precomputed and stored in the constant ROM.14

[...]

Some of the constants (such as pi) are expected, while others (such as log2(3)) are more puzzling."
In the case of equities timing, imo the house is not the shareholders, it's the investment bankers, hedge funds, and other major traders.
>But the situation also isn't specific to set theory. Any formal system is going to be subject to this "problem"

I think that part of the author's point can be read generously as, "no formal system can satisfy philosophy's pseudo-religious search for truth evident in itself."
What percent of public stocks are owned by funds in 401K accounts? Remember, price is driven by supply and demand. So long as there are more buyers than sellers the prices are going to keep rising. People blindly put money in funds every month. fund managers have to spread it around. Or in the case of index funds spread it by fixed formula. Sure there are good/bad companies and good/bad times, but so long as people keep pushing money in things will generally go up.

If CoViD had put white-collar people out of work, there wouldn't be any buyers and things would tank.
Maybe you know the OP, but in my experience a lot of issues are not bug reports but very low quality, uninformed or unreasonable requests or questions. Like questions made about basic functionality that is answered in the documentation/faq, or requests for features that are completely outside the scope of the project. Another popular category is requests for basic education e.g. “how does DQN work?”. That’s fine if it’s one person but when it’s 100 it gets overwhelming.
I'm an active Go user and I've been working almost exclusively in Go since 2011. I have a feeling that over time, the number of knobs on Go will increase much like it has in Java. I'm trying to think back to my first experiences with Java in 1995. It was so simple compared to the overhead of getting things working in C/C++. So Java's got like 25+ years on Go and I would speculate that the number of knobs on Go in 25 years will be significantly higher. On the one hand, I don't like seeing all the crazy configurable stuff, e.g. CGO_....=1 until I actually need it.
His returns were far better before he owned any companies.
The design is fine, but the table-based layout is a little gross.
I've had pretty good luck, where Amazon shows a "safe estimate" for the delivery date, but it arrives in a few days instead. (I'm in Texas, maybe you're referring to Canada specifically)

This list, but no Cobol, Fortran, APL, smalltalk???
Not remotely accurate.
Are you certain those packages are Amazon fulfilled rather than merchant fulfilled?
Is it even possible for there be a workers union at Amazon?
The implementation language may be important if it promotes (and, with certain discipllne, guarantees) a lack of memory-access errors and a lack of data races.

This may be not as important in a replacement for `less` or `du` than in a HTTP or SMTP daemon, but still.
