I'm a full-stack developer with 16+ years in Web Apps using front-end and back-end technologies. I can take up front end or back end development projects.

Specialized in Web Scraping development. I can scrape any data from web based on your requirements and provide datasets in formats (csv, json) or save to DBs.

I developed a web scraper tool to fetch pricing data from US Hospitals websites and save in MongoDB, then aggregate and show the Prices online at one place. I developed a REST API and UI module to display that data on Front end. Tools used: JavaScript Puppeteer library, Chromium and Node JS with ExpressJS to develop the web scraping tool. The code is available on Github. https://github.com/dtangeeda/hospitals-scraper

The absolute killer feature for webapp is privacy and I will use the webapp instead of the native app whenever it is available for that reason only.

Besides, all those comments about native being better due to performance and RAM and such go straight to the toilet when the app is something I will keep open for like 5 minutes every 2 days just to do something specific thing. Most apps do not require daemon-like features.

Dear native app developers, I'm not buying into your arguments on why a native app is required. You're going to use some kind of SDK that is going to spy the hell out of my phone. Get off my LAN!
There are loads of DSPs, MCUs, and other non-PC junk where CHAR_BIT is not 8. For example of the SHARC, CHAR_BIT is 32, absolutely every type is 32 bits wide.
Best part about WFH is the afternoon nap. That's my biggest gripe against going back to the office.

I remember times back at the office where I was so sleepy I was just waiting for the day to end so I could go home and take a nap. Then I'd finish my work sometime in the evening.

It's easy for CEOs to want to go back to the office because they don't have to be there and usually aren't.
ID for social media but not to cast a vote in an election? Explain how that makes sense.
Yes, but it will take a bit longer to get a conclusive result because transmission is harder to study.

Data analysis in a study by the Israeli Health Ministry and Pfizer Inc found the Pfizer vaccine developed with Germany’s BioNTech reduces infection, including in asymptomatic cases, by 89.4% and in syptomatic cases by 93.7%. Findings of the pre-published study, not yet peer-reviewed, but based on a national database that is one of the world’s most advanced, were first reported by the Israeli news site Ynet late on Thursday and were obtained by Reuters on Friday. Pfizer declined to comment and the Israeli Health Ministry did not respond to a request for comment. A separate study by Israel’s Sheba Medical Center published on Friday in The Lancet medical journal found that among 7,214 hospital staff who received their first dose in January, there was an 85% reduction in symptomatic COVID-19 within 15 to 28 days with an overall reduction of infections, including asymptomatic cases detected by testing, of 75%. More research is needed to draw a definitive conclusion, but the studies are among the first to suggest a vaccine may stop the spread of the novel coronavirus and not just prevent people getting ill. Michal Linial, a professor of molecular biology and bioinformatics at Jerusalem’s Hebrew University, said the findings were a big step towards answering one of the most important questions in combating the pandemic. “Whether it is 75 or 90 percent reduction doesn’t matter - it is a big drop in transmission,” Linial said. “It means that not only is the individual vaccinated protected, the inoculation also provides protection to his or her surroundings.” The researchers said further study was needed on asymptomatic transmission among people fully vaccinated because they are less likely to be tested for COVID-19. Vaccine developers have also said more research was needed on transmissibility. In December, Germany’s BioNTech said it would take three to six months more study. [0]

College students in the United States, vaccinated with Moderna Inc’s COVID-19 vaccine, will be part of a new study to test its effectiveness in curbing the spread of the virus, the COVID-19 Prevention Network said on Friday. The trial, backed by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), is designed to determine if the vaccine, mRNA-1273, can prevent coronavirus infection, limit virus in the nose, and reduce transmission from vaccinated individuals to their close contacts. The Prevent COVID U study, funded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), will monitor about 12,000 young adults across 20 universities over a five-month period. [1]

Things you need to do for ensuring Comfort in summer
Fridge repair in Toronto is mandatory before the arrival of hot weather as it can save you from replacing the appliance with the new one. The excessive use of the fridge puts a burden on the compressor and ultimately, the cooling system gets affected. There are a few factors that play a vital role in the overall efficiency of the fridge and you should make sure to take proper care of the appliance.
Yeah more or less credit it back as a function of income by way of monthly payouts. At a certain income the credits begin getting phased out slowly. You can also tax different things at different rates. For instance, vegetables sound be taxed differently than yachts. It also lets externalities be taxed the entire lifecycle of the good or service.
Same story here. I remember being 5 or 6 years old. We had a DOS PC with an orange CRT display. I think it was also a 286. I still remember the commands to run Word Perfect and this game called Fun House. My first command line experience. Mostly my mom used the computer for word processing and printed off letters on our dot matrix printer.
> One of the other "green" aspects of the complex was that it only had compact car parking.

I think this is one of the things that as I get older gets more and more grating. This 'nudge' is supposed to encourage you to use and buy a smaller car, but instead of you as an individual selecting the car most suited for your needs they've decided that only compact cars should be driven. So now if you have a big family (which in today's age is only 3 kids), or you need your vehicle for work (hi work trucks), or a host of other reasons to have a bigger vehicle, they've intentionally made your life just a little bit worse, and they've done it intentionally.
Looks like darkhttpd's website: https://unix4lyfe.org/darkhttpd/ is NOT hosted on a GPS/LTE modem and has been hugged to death.
Obviously a joke. Microsoft would just buy Starbucks and rebrand it as Microsoft CoffeeX 3D.
With the median death being > 80 is this surprising?
If it was objectively clear that it was just a joke, it would probably qualify as protected speech under the First Amendment and thus be immune to SEC penalties.

Are you suggesting that the rich would break the law and engage in tax evasion (not legal loopholes)?

A great portion of my taxes goes to military and police. Wouldn’t they just collect the money push come to shove? They certainly have the capability, but possibly not the will.

There's a paper that used a random convolutional filter when training the agent and they found that it manages to generalize very well, they evaluated the CNN and found that the model put emphasis on where the enemies were at each frame, which indicates some form of understanding.

However, I don't think that there is any form of causal relationship to be extracted for model-free agents. I don't believe that what we are seeing is anything more than changing action likelihoods in some very high dimensional function.
The effect of declining a case is to leave the lower court's decision in place. However, the lower court sided with Duguid, not Facebook. Here, the Supreme Court overturned that decision.
Using HTML over HTTP in any form opens you to tracking, through the referer header, ETag lookup, and cookies.

The idea behind Gemini is to cut off all such capabilities (even when useful for good things) and prevent attempts to add them as extensions. This may make sense in the niche they are targeting.

This also prevents common session tracking mechanisms, but even form submission is not a thing in Gemini anyway.
Isn't it simple. There is no single root-cause ever. What causes something is elementary particles moving in certain ways together always affecting each other. There is never a single "root cause".

A separate question is "Who is guilty?". "Who deserves credit?"
I'm glad that that xiaomi eu incident I shared has served as a warning for you and perhaps others, but saddened that it took place and perhaps represents the broad state of android custom ROM development.

I've avoided Android development as much as I could - it's a mess. Right now I am actively reviewing what my options are for some older hardware that I would hate to toss just because of no updates. So far I unfortunately don't have any other positive suggestions, outside of Lineage and the few software/app developers that have a serious approach to development, such as Magisk for root access.

What I have seen on XDA forums was not inspiring, unfortunately. I regret not being able to suggest anyone else, so I suppose it's the unsatisfactory general "do your own research and be extremely wary" recommendation/warning.

XDA forums even have a sticky post for developers about respecting the GPL, yet most custom ROM builders don't share code nor a build manifest nor a report of what different licensed code / binary is included in their build, thinking that linking to the original GPLd code, such as xiaomi's GNU/Linux kernel github page, is enough.

Is this a satisfactory approach to you? Let us leave out the whole "spirit of the thing" debate, Free Software etc -

knowing what code your application includes, crediting it, listing the different licenses and having a manifest of binary blobs is mandatory if not for the reason of keeping track and having a sane development workflow.

So, if the majority of the ROM developers don't do it, that is an avoid them sign to me.
Matt's videos are worth watching, but it's important to note most his videos are motivated by his sponsorships and it's often hard to parse out when he's shilling and when he's not.

I'd think the company would be concerned of these pranks defaming the company if enough employees did them.

> Any TNG story that features Picard being excited about archaeology is usually a great one.

I've never been able to articulate how disappointed I was that the writers made Picard retire to the family vinyard. Nothing matches the thrill of preventing a galactic war but we got little pictures of other interests he might have and just sit around growing grapes. Literally going back where he came from after an incomparable career.

The holodeck episodes also hinted at other of his interests. I recall a sailing ship and something about being a detective?

They did something very similar with Kirk and Riker although in Riker's case they gave a plot device for him making that choice.
Thanks, let me know if I can help with it. I'm happy to do custom work for stuff like that.
> Also, there is often a confusion where scientist say "we do not know (yet)" and it gets interpreted as "it does not".

Scientists seem completely comfortable saying things like "racism is the real virus" though, when only a short time before they claimed anyone going out in public for non-essential activities was playing a game of human sacrifice.

The idea that they're hesitant to make unfounded conclusions is wrong because there's been all sorts of bizarre statements throughout the entire establishment over the course of the pandemic.

Doom scenarios are the norm, and usually offered with no to little evidence, meanwhile any good or slightly optimistic news is always downplayed.

I'm very skeptical that there are all these highly lucrative investments that small retail investors are missing out on once you adjust for risk. Many VCs don't actually have particularly great returns overall, for example. The idea that there's some magic money machine out there that only the private club has access to doesn't have a lot of evidence supporting it.
Here's my read of the history.

On March 1, 2016, SCO's remaining claims against IBM were dismissed with prejudice in federal court in Salt Lake.

On March 29, 2016, SCO appealed to the circuit court in Denver. On January 24, 2018, the circuit court notified the Salt Lake court that SCO had won the appeal overturning summary judgment, and that there would need to be a trial on the misappropriation claim.

On May 14, 2018, the federal court in Salt Lake removed a previous stay, so that the case could move forward.

And as far as I can tell, that is the last thing that has happened in the case. It has sat there, ready to move forward but not actually moving, for almost three years.

If you know of anything more recent than that, please, tell me - I would love for this miserable excuse of a case to be over.
I heard a rumor that Satoshi has used this to anonymously dictate the code for his replacement for Bitcoin using a burner phone.
I'm not sure if I do. Trying to figure it out.
American universities are a source of salaries and unending job security for a group of activist professors, who fall into categories of activism that help bolster the reputations of the institutions of being compliant with Title IX to maintain federal funding.

These Title IX driven activists care about women and black people. Not very much about Latinos or Asians, because historically Asians aren't underrepresented at universities, and therefore aren't a Title IX liability. They don't care about Latinos because they don't have the political clout in the Democratic party that black voters do, and are markedly underrepresented in the party considering they are a larger demographic group in the US.

These activists are the foundational cornerstone for seeding activism into government. Poor whites in trailer parks don't have professional activists at universities to stand up for them. Therefore programs like this come along, and Latinos, poor whites, poor Asians are all ignored. It's explicitly racist, and we can thank the university administrators for employing these people and giving them free time and salaries combined with an unending stream of gullible students, many of whom have no business being in an educational institution due to them being mediocre at best high school students.

What are the performance implications of something like this (and other similar ones posted here) for a really light server (let’s say a small chat server). Would getting down closer to the metal matter much?
Or maybe not dangle commission in front of a sales shark with a unrealistic 30 minutes requirement for some rather complex paperwork.
Yes. I'm not completely sure the mechanism, but I attended elementary school in a warm climate, at a school in which the hallways were exterior and only classrooms air conditioned. I reliably got nosebleeds on the three or four hottest days of th year in line for class.

> 2) sending a one-time password over SMS, unless you had already validated that the telephone number belonged to your customer

Note that it's pretty hard to validate a phone number belongs to someone. You could ask their telephone company, but their telephone company shouldn't disclose subscriber information, and even if they did, maybe you get a name, but lots of people have the same name as me, so what does that show?

Commonly, people send a text message with a code or a phone call with a code to demonstrate control (not belonging), but that's almost always automated, and you would need the number to be validated before you could validate it.
So the point of me is to be filler for the real players? I don't know if that's a good reason to live.
Sure thing mate. I'm not contesting on what available avenues are available for Googlers, perhaps you know more than I do. Just stating the factual observations, repeated cases of an individual employees getting fired for raising concerns. You briefly describe your anecdote, I'm describing my anecdote. I'm neutral on Google for most things, I use their products and I don't really care about their privacy issues.

No need to cherry pick my previous reply, I'll restate since some parts must have flew by :). Higher ups are very accessible to each individual employee because you really can just go up to them. Back then, the CVP always swung by our office to say hi pretty frequently. The message boards exist. And people group up for QnA because it's effective. Employees pranked their bosses without retaliation.

I don't even have a reason to justify leadership anymore. Just stating the clear facts, that the majority trust them to the right thing. Beats me why C-level is popular internally. They respond to employee concerns when it mattered, and stood their ground when it didn't. No need to make assumptions here about people being meek, lets use facts.
Unfortunately, that advice no longer helps you avoid artificially cheap grain based products. The meat counter, nearly always on the perimeter, is full of grain-fed meat. And the frozen aisle, former composed largely of frozen versions of the produce section, is now dominated by prepared foods that are fairly calorie-dense and nutrient-poor -- and made from those same grain-based products.

There are good choices to make in both those sections. (Or at least, better choices.) And better than the shelf-stable products that are even more calorie-dense (because water makes things spoil) in the middle aisles. But it's become a lot more complicated than it used to be.
oh, I see thanks for the explanation.
C code doesn't just run on the architecture you compile for. It first "runs" on a C virtual machine simulated by the optimizer. This low-level virtual machine (you may call it LLVM) usually implements signed overflow by deleting the code that caused it.
There's a lot of those now though. I remember doing e-gold stuff in the early 2000s, not much came of it.
> The Articles of Confederation were designed to give limited power to a weak federal government and more power to stronger state governments. It was a disaster, then we tried again - the other way - with the Constitution.

The country thrived under the Constitution with a narrow interpretation of the commerce clause and a federal government that spent 3% of GDP instead of 20% for more than a hundred years.

The expansive "reinterpretation" of federal power in the 20th century was the source of all the existing trouble.
Because of misplaced fears of fomite-based covid-19 infection vectors?
It always seemed odd to me that page reclaim was completely ignorant of CPU/IO priority of the accessing processes.

If I run a backup job with a low priority, especially before cgroups existed where I could scope the task's memory use, there's nothing preventing it from displacing everything else from the page cache as it churns through an entire filesystem. Even if everything else in the page cache was put there by equal or higher priority processes.

It seems like the priority should at least hint reclaim some amount rather than just age and activity levels... like the page struct should record the highest priority process accessing its contents, and not let lower priority processes evict that page for reclaim unless pressure is high enough.
I can't see how you'd think niche subgenres are replaceable by "influencing artists", for even very niche subgenres don't tend to gravitate around a single artist as you imply. Niche, and at first glance similar stuff like future bass, future funk and kawaii future bass are still easy to tell apart and have many artists producing original sounds that people still associate to the genre.

I don't understand your point in the end either, but it feels like you're trying to project anger onto other people. Do you feel angry that electronic music genres are not as easy to understand as you hoped and are trying to rationalize this as people coming up with random genres for publicity? Try to think of clear, obvious examples that should validate your rationalization, if it is more than just that then you'll easily be able to come up with a few without reaching for a search engine.
People can chose to manage their communities as they wish, if you're not a resident, it's basically none of your business.

Switch to go and channels. You won’t have to worry about locking any more, the design of your program becomes a data flow design issue. (Speaking as a former C programmer). Hardware takes so long to change but more atomicity would be great, but 8n the meantime go runtime is fast, generally lock less to the per request application code flow, and you use all the cores evenly.
Not as far as I know, which is puzzling.
Wouldn’t this be considered illegal? Governments shouldn’t distinguish between citizens based on race.
In a way it is. The experts that say the truth exists. But people who gladly promote untruth keep getting promoted, keep getting n-th chances and there is no accountability. The latter win over the former in the market and Tom Nicholson is part of that issue.

> but in reality cut off all but the wealthy from the true upside to investing

I don't understand the logic here. There isn't a global conspiracy among rich people to stopping others from making money. It doesn't make any difference to Jeff Bezos on whether $1 million gets made by Peter Thiel or a regular person. In fact, Bezos would probably prefer the latter since they're more likely to spend their money on Amazon purchases.

The reason for accredited investor status is because losing money hurts more than winning money benefits unless if you have a lot of money to begin with. One regular person making $1 million doesn't make up for 10 regular people losing $50,000, even though that would be wildly EV positive.
