I am 51, and about every other time I go to the dentist (same one!), he says, "you might want to think about having your wisdom teeth removed; they're only going to cause you problems." The difference is that when I was…
Also, MS Word auto-corrects <space>-<space> into an em-dash just like it fixes quotes. Depending on which software was used to write it, it's very likely that's what happened. I'm never suspicious of only one em-dash,…
I'm just picturing me watching their stupid ad, then opening the door and permanently disabling the locking mechanism, with a sawz-all, if necessary.
Seinfeld was "a show about nothing."
I would argue that the fast part isn't optional for web apps (where "transpiling"), but it can be in many other instances. I write a lot of data-pipeline code in Python that mostly runs once a day. Does it matter if it…
It's not necessarily wealth that governs price changes, but access. Anyone with a car and 'enough' money for gas can go to the store across town if it's cheaper, but if a store is isolated enough by geography or…
I think it's more that once you get rich, the political machine becomes obsessed with you and your donations. That attention can be kind of addictive.
It's not just Moonlite and Owensboro; it's common further downriver too. I end up in Paducah at least once a year, and I always try to make it to Kountry Kastle for a mutton sandwich. I'd say that mutton and burgoo are…
> Many tools shipped python as an embedded scripting language. I had dabbled with Python before encountering it (in its embedded form), but once I started using it inside ESRI's ArcGIS software, it became my go to…
Or Firefox Focus, which is what I use. It does a pretty good job.
That was impression I got from the article as well.
> I wind up revisiting it every year when the derby comes around As do I. It's tradition at this point.
Bingo. I find the styling of Teslas to be so boring and same-y. I also hate the design laziness of "only a central display panel", and I really, really want buttons and knobs.
Out of curiosity, are the GIS dependencies the proprietary ones (coughESRIcough)?
There is the Planet Gemini [1]. My understanding is that the company was founded by some ex-Psion folk, and the keyboard on the Gemini is supposed to be pretty close to the one on the Series 5. The Gemini runs both…
Cupping is probably a better analogy. Also, there was a long stretch of time there where we didn't use leeches, at least in part due to the stigma associated with the older practice.
Lucky. When I was in Engineering school, the Mechanical Engineering department had one catalog. We couldn't get any more - something about limited numbers printed (though, I'll confess I never tried to get my own). It…
I want my Psion Series 5 back.
They are tasty in chili.
I have had iOS tell me I needed to "unlock the phone to enable accessories" (or something to that effect) when plugging in the charger that came in the box with the phone. This has usually been when the lightning port…
You're assuming that the daily commute is short for most people. I live in a fairly dense US city, and there is a fair percentage of downtown office workers that live more that 40 miles out, which given the routes they…
I too recall that. I suspect it was a boon for the carriers, eating into your MMS quota. At the time though, my plan was unlimited SMS/MMS, so it didn't really matter to me.
Not generally, no. Most of the time, it's software that goads you into a subscription after your 30-day trial, like anti-virus packages or HP's ink subscription.
I fell asleep in Thermo 1 on the day the professor taught us to read steam tables. I never did get many of those problems right, even though I did my engineering co-ops at power plants.
I'm not the person you were asking, but I, too, use mostly Python for ETL tasks as a good chunk of my job. Python's speed, or lack thereof, is rarely an issue. Most tasks that I write/run finish in less than a minute,…
