I have been building a mostly free website and API to interact with sec EDGAR filings, get realtime new filing alerts (and preview those alerts), and see the historical impact of financial filings. Right now I am working on adding historica

I worry about developing sleep apnea, not only for the effects on my health, but also on my relationship with my partner. A medicine that treated sleep apnea would be revolutionary for so many people.

We have abandoned Europe, why should we expect them to stay loyal to us?

Getting all the filings is a lot of work, too - you have to build an old load parser

I took Paxlovid twice. Horrible bitter taste, but kept the symptoms at bay. No long covid or persisting brain fog unlike some of my friends. Tested negative by the end of the treatment. My fiancé didn't catch it from my while I isolate

370 degrees Celsius? Hopefully a typo Last time I was in Rwanda I had banana wine. It comes in beer bottles. I think it’s an acquired taste - I didn’t have the acumen to acquire it myself.

Do you have a recommendation for having frame by frame control of a file? I am trying to synchronize multiple video files that have uneven framerates. I have separate metadata containing the frame timing. The video files are .ts (mpeg strea

I used to walk across this bridge every day. You could feel whole bridge shake when heavy vehicles would drive over it (Lived in Reagent Square 2017 - 2019). I remember one morning I was trapped on the bridge for an hour in traffic on my dr

A lot of people and businesses use debt to finance the things they want to do. (Buy a home, build a new facility, pay back management). When money is cheaper, people do more. If you can issue at 6% instead of 7%, your interest expense on th

This is a very exciting product - I'm surprised this didn't exist until now. Would love to see C++ support in the future.

Gigabytes were renamed to Gibibytes (2^30), and a new "Gigabyte," (10^9) replaced the old meaning of the word. It is always sad to see an 8TB SSD come back with only 7.2TiB

I once worked for a firm that used NetworkSolutions and spent a lot of time in their online portal and with their support. I do not have anything nice to say about them, their services, or their billing practices.

Sea Launch, as mentioned in the article, did this for years. I remember seeing the fuel tanks being wound in the 9-101 in 2013. More parts were made than used, and the launches were seemingly never publicized. https://en.wikipedi

C++ lets you write anything you can imagine, and the language features and standard library often facilitate that. The committee espouses the view that they want to provide many "zero [runtime] cost," abstractions. Anybody can con

1 nautical mile (~6076 ft) is exactly one minute of arc at the Earth's equator. As a sailor, I wish that all miles were nautical miles because they have a real meaning. What good is 5280 feet?

I'm building software to transparently connect your program or machine to remote filesystems. I'm initially supporting C++ and Go, and later plan to support Python and Javascript as well. There are a lot of exciting filesystems ou

Unfortunately I cannot get full article access, but from the abstract it sounds like they did not control for actual sun exposure. It would seem to me that those who self medicate with vitamin D are those who know they do not get sufficient

In Ecuador the US $1 coin and US $0.50 coin are in wide circulation - as a tourist from the US I really enjoyed getting to use these coins to their full promise. Ecuador also makes a $0.25 centavo coin which is the same size and weight as a

Speaking of future aircraft - what's interesting to me is they do not seem to be planning on any more composite barrel aircraft after the 87. Even 777x is only graphite wings, no graphite barrel, which seemed to me like the natural nex
