Just for my understanding, what is the issue with xanthan gum and locust bean gum? You need thickeners, stabilizers, and emulsifiers if you want high quality ice cream and that applies to both industrial as well as artisanal. Xanthan or Aga

The tone in the article is so off. We are clearly headed for a climate disaster, being whiners about having to manually de ice your windshield is so very childish. I understand there is a broader topic of regulators impacting what can and c

Yeah you are being a dick. Hope you will also have a little one one day and maybe then you will realise how absurd you having to correct their kids sounds like ;)

Small and efficient ICE engines are as proved a technology as it gets. If you end up buying a V6 engine now it is not because of how good or reliable the engine is, it is either nostalgia or status symbol. So, please don’t and be more mindf

As I consultant that works extensively in Excel, I understand your point. The lack of decent syntax highlighting, auto-indentation or “IDE mode” instead of the formula bar can be painful. Especially when working with models developed by oth

I really like Thunderbird and I use it as my primary personal email client. Just, where can I pay to speed up the development of this feature? https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=213945 I find a proper 3 pane view

There is an extension for it -> https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/gmail... Not super great visually, but works ok

Cheap green electricity at less than 50 $/MWh should not be a problem, most PPAs are already getting signed at costs substantially lower than that.

Absorbing large amounts of CO2 happens every second since 2-3 centuries at this point, and is the main driver of ocean acidification and subsequent coral bleaching, loss of wildlife, etc. If the mentioned process could "recycle" t

I feel like when you need to create value and make a product, better to do it in a language you know. Product value is not directly proportional to product performance or raw HTTP request serving time. I for instance know a bit of F#/C

Would not the latter be the task of a language library? i.e. Pandas with read_sql()?
17.
by galacticdessert 6y ago
Agree this would be awesome. I reckon you could obtain something similar with pandas with pd.read_sql("<query>"), but a dedicated SQL cell akin to markdown cells would make it much more pleasant

The article feels somewhat half finished: it introduces the topic, an implementation, and walks the reader some examples. It lacks the so-what, why and what ASP can do for me concretely, and where I can find more. Still, though, I am fascin

py-spy seems also very interesting, thanks for linking it. I always found cPython to be quite difficult to work with, and usually reverted to line_profiler or some sort of UI for cprof files. The main added benefits of pyInstrument to me is

Could you elaborate on it? It sounds a lot like the MS Project/Omniplan way. Do you/How do you integrate with the code development workflow and version control?

Any thoughts on the development experience of this versus the Elixir based Nerves project, putting aside obvious platform differences (i.e. the BEAM being concurrent and resilient by design vs JS having a ton of libraries, etc.)?

Yep

True, but I expect that only ~2% of programs to ever run into this problem

And most of the time isn't, right? I have seen project managers keeping a whole development team of 10+ developers busy for entire sprints to "cut down the infra costs", without realizing that the dev team costs 500+ kEUR&#x2

Hey, good job on your project! The only thing I wanted to say is that the time spent learning a bit of SQL pays off massively. Perhaps something for your todo list :)

Totally unfamiliar with Ada, but reading below it seems that type safety and concurrency are big selling points of it. In which way would this better than a modern functional language, say F#?
