there has to be some missing information on how he found the area of water that fully consumed exactly that amount of oil as it simply doesn’t make sense without that. for instance one can spread a teaspoon of oil over 1, 2, n square meters

This is one of those “so cool yet so silly” brainstorms that I’m grateful someone was audacious enough to entertain. I’m both relieved and saddened that it never came to fruition. There’s a word, chindogu, to describe things that are less t

Most SO answers were non-answers or word salads. Thankfully one of you added an answer explaining that the cursor is already straight given that it must be visible from the graphics coordinate origin (upper left) and is 45 degrees wide. h

Hard agree. Civil & mechanical engineering have a culture and history of blameless analysis of failure. Software engineering could learn from them. See the excellent To Engineer is Human in just this topic of analyzed failures in civil

Technically I think so, so there’s a tiny bit of faith for RSA but absolutely none for primality in general https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AKS_primality_test

He's probably a *-sulfide or copper-* expert. Or maybe just a physical chemist that the press is ginning up. Actually, the latter. His page doesn't even mention copper or sulfide; and makes only one mention of conductors. https:&

No. The backups have their own secrets and no relationship to one another. You register them as distinct keys with each app.

There’s no need to carry both keys. Leave one in a secure location. Carry the other.

Use a calendar app. It parses and translates appointments into local time as an essential part of its existence.

Algorithms do not shun creativity. They are born creatively. But they do set a high bar for new contributions. You either beat the existing complexity or you don't . If you can improve upon either the space/time complexity or ev

This is close to home. Our approach to DevOps for ML Data is to use S3 as the git core and build immutable datasets and models on top of S3 object versioning. I wrote the piece below on "Versioning data and models for faster iteration

The reported dosage is less than half what the Chinese Government recommends (500mg x 2 (BID)). So it's possible that they didn't hit the effective dose. https://medium.com/@balajis/the-official-chinese-govern

Not quite. Abstraction layers like min.io support versioning. More importantly, Quilt manifests only require a "fully qualified physical key" that points to the data. In theory, the manifest can work with any URI: S3, local disk,

Here is an example of the "Irish Setter" query: https://open.quiltdata.com/search?q=irish%20%2B%20setter You would type "irish + setter" in the search box.

You can do that :) See here for search syntax https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.8/... (there is a faint link under the big search bar). Let us know how that works for you.

Good questions. First, services like open.quiltdata.com and Amazon's Registry of Open Data cover the S3 costs for public data. So that's one incentive. Second, the cost of cloud resources are highly competitive (if not superior) t

The package landing page is essentially that: a list of all of your datasets. This is constructed from the special s3://.quilt/* directory. Since a Quilt manifest is a list of keys, you can compose N manifests into a single m

That is an interesting idea. What kind of performance could we expect, especially in the federated case of searching multiple buckets? Elastic has sub-second latency (at the cost of running dedicated containers).

Contingent upon support in something like ceph or minio, yes.

We have a data curators program on Quilt and I encourage you to apply (page bottom on open.quiltdata.com). For high-value public data sets, AWS's registry of open data will, if accepted, cover the costs of storage and egress. We went t

Just peeked at Ohayo and it looks neat. Feel free email me: aneesh at quiltdata dot io. We have also been thinking about integration with Jupyter Lab data explorer and perhaps there's a common shim that we can use.

Oh I would love to get the UH Cancer Center data into Quilt! Do you happen to have an S3 bucket with that data live? If the bucket is publicly permissioned it should "just work." We can talk about indexing the data for search. We

Not quite ;) S3 is the primary data and metadata store, so that the rest of the stack is a pure function of S3 data (including Elastic). We don't use git at all yet. We use S3 object versioning and then capture the version, SHA-256, et
