I don’t get the hypothetical, the perpetrator and the guy arrested were both using Kik and the account names were confused. There was no other service in this case.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_Kumamoto_earthquakes The main shock of this one at 7.0 killed 277 people so sadly I think it’s pretty likely there will be some deaths.

You can get the domains from your local European nations registrar though. How is the American conglomerate going to prevent that?

You mean like the numpy authors that let the comparison operators return arrays? Also, apparently SQLAlchemy does exactly what I proposed so apparently they are erring in their ways too. I honestly don’t find it that bad.

Not if you do the magic with getattr and comparison overrides. You actually need to do it on the metaclass because the Field as I wrote it isn't an instance but this works: from datetime import datetime class Filter():

How are you spending any non-negligible time reading from SQLite at 12 requests per second though? That would mean you’re spending something like 50 ms per request on reading from SQLite.

I still don’t get it. Situation a: Someone searches for location XYZ. The geocoding API returns lat and Lon and canonical name ABC. You save that and the slugified name abc in your DB. (If the API doesn’t return a name, you can use XYZ inst

You can run multiple OS threads (gunicorn workers) on one VM thread so the workers don’t have to wait for each others request to finish though, right? And if you pay $10/month for a single threaded machine, you’re overpaying by a lot.

I don’t get that reason, couldn’t you just use the location name as a field in the database just like you use the short code right now? Where’s the additional API call on lookup coming from?

It’s also much smaller. The main problem will be that the people sitting outside experience a lot of vertical motion when the aircraft rolls. That’s only a problem with the full scale design.

Isn’t it also so you can look out to see if the emergency exits on that side are usable or if there is a fire or excessive debris blocking the exit?

Doesn’t that technically only mean that all windows that exist need to be open, and having no windows at all would satisfy the requirement “all windows are open”? Or is the second sentence an addition to the first?

You could allow the user to define an arbitrary number of pins with and allow the user to select which app to show for each. Then you could never know if you got everything if you want to check the phone.

I still don’t get why there’s no way to set up a second pin that unlocks the phone but hides sensitive apps and data.

That’s not the legal criterion that’s used. Using a different codec is different that using the idea of a book to write your own book.

There’s a difference between an abstract idea and the concrete thing. Regurgitating an idea is different than repeating the text verbatim. Ideas are protected by patents, not copyright.

That’s some really obnoxious writing, somehow even worse than the usual AI spam (although this also reads like co-written by AI). Here’s the cleaned up version: I built 160+ micro calculator tools across finance, math, health, fitness and m
