Person 1 adds code that uses this with Pandas. Person 2 sees the csvbase:// URIs and copy/pastes them to use with some other library Foozle that uses URIs and it works because Foozle also happens to use fsspec. Foozle migrate

The opening of the animation has the phrase “A Mickey Mouse Sound Cartoon” on screen. IANAL but I saw on the news that this means the character’s name and old-style likeness are fair game for new content by anybody.

The most common point is that they're safe to share between threads making parallel algorithms easier to invent, understand, and implement correctly. You can also safely re-use sub-structures without performing a deep copy. For example

I think starting with Standard ML is a good idea. It is the core of ocaml and really highlights the differences with other approaches to programming. I went from SML to ocaml to Haskell.

I've been using Java since version 1.1 and I've seen features added that required a new version of the language spec to go through committee and get implemented before we got to use them where you could just add these features you

It's clear he can do it: the ending of Anathem ties up everything very neatly and it is hard for me to imagine any major events happening in the characters' lifetimes that would rival the plot arc they've been through.

I feel that his novels are becoming more and more mainstream friendly, and Termination Shock is my suggestion. The world is very similar to our own, set in the near future (versus The Diamond Age) of our planet (versus Anathem) and is very

A large enough increase in supply could cause property values to level off while also increasing the vacancy rate for rental properties. I think the idea is that those circumstances would make real estate no longer attractive as an investme

Apple is big enough to make it happen and there are plenty of iOS game devs out there to make it a success.

In a Scrabble AI coding contest I discovered the GADDAG which is like a trie but indexes all of the words forwards and backwards from any starting point within the words. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GADDAG#:~:text=A%2

This was really interesting both in exploring the architecture of a retail system and looking at how systems fail. Better to read about it and learn than to live it. I'd call it a 4 hour outage because the initial "recovery"

I worked on a C project where we counted 14 different hash table implementations done for different key/value data types strewn through the code.

One reason for tests to hit a real external API is if you're using a "record and replay" test framework to capture the interactions so that you can run the tests against the recorded data quickly later. But because the API ca

There is no picture of the entry level model; it says "coming soon". Since the Ford F-150 usually costs a lot to upgrade to 4 full-size doors and a navigation computer, I'm wondering if that will be the case here too. Near th

In the spirit of the article, I think that the approach would be to ask your partners to provide a sandbox/test environment that your sandbox/test environment can interact with, or test accounts in production at least.

He is not modeling the threshold below which wealth is not taxed. The wealth tax being proposed in California is 0.4% on amounts over $30MM, so the lifetime percentage taken by the government on a $30MM stock cash-out via the proposed wealt

Sounds like other fixes were needed: "Crema Coffee owner June Tran said bringing her 100-year-old building up to code would cost $100,000."

Agreed. "Crema Coffee owner June Tran said bringing her 100-year-old building up to code would cost $100,000." Bringing a 100-year-old building up to code != installing a ramp.

Functional Programming is not just for Haskell; modern Java has lots of pretty decent options so I feel like their Java version of the code is a bit of a straw man. Here is how a more modern code style in Java 8 (which is years old now) mig

I think the analogy is to suppose you insure your car with 10 different policies and then total it so you can collect 10x what it is worth.

“A JOIN is really a cartesian product (also cross product) with a filter.” It always boils down to this for me.

They might like the book "Super Scratch Programming Adventure!" It walks through building several games in a comic-book format. I thought it was good.
