Im curious as to why they picked the commit cadence they did. Why do this over the course of two years and not, say 8 months or 15 months? After committing the first patch, why did they wait x days/weeks/months to commit the secon

My favorite is Fark's word-changing filters and their unintended side effects. The no-no words are scanned across whitespace and reversed, and any hits get translated to the approved word. "Shit" becomes "Shiat", th

I have ADHD, major depression, and I did 8 weeks of TMS therapy last year. In the end it did help my depression some, but it isn't a night-and-day difference. It did, however, completely change how I see myself, to the point where I fe

My only quibble with Zero to Production in Rust is that I assumed the title meant "this is a good book for someone who has zero knowledge of Rust". The Amazon page for it also says "Zero To Production is the ideal starting po

Anecdotal datapoint to add to the heap: a friend had someone show up to their first day of 100% remote work who was decidedly NOT the person that they interviewed. Obviously that was also their last day.

I still have my Eee PC [1]. Haven't used it in forever and a day, but it was awesome at the time, especially with the EeePC specific linux distros that were available at the time. [1] https://i.imgur.com/XY1IayV.jpg

That graphic shows ~44k HNWI emigrating, and ~20k HNWI immigrating. I skimmed the underlying text and didn't see an explanation, so are we to assume the other ~24k HNWI immigrated to the rest of the world's countries in relatively

The way the original try/except was structured meant the close() for the socket would never get called, so py-amqp holds onto the reference indefinitely, preventing the garbage collector from doing it's thing.

To your point, even if the theoretical drive is feasible but limited to sub C speeds, a drive that requires zero propulsion mass and where the contents of the bubble don't feel any acceleration would be absolutely huuuuuge for manned s

Given I don't have much experience with the Google ecosystem, how does one know which photos were accessed? (Not calling her account into question, just curious)

IIRC, ITER wont be fully operational until 2035, and will only ever be a research reactor. Even if it can produce net energy (I'm skeptical), it's cost and size are way up there. Even if Helion is behind the tokamaks, perhaps this

Depending on how often you need to write, you could use a CI pipeline on a cron to collect your updates, add them to a the sqlite file and commit the changes.

Love the look and feel of the site. I had trouble connecting to Coinbase at first, as I guess the key I generated had too few permissions. It would be helpful if the modal specified exactly which API key permissions were required.

While following along locally I got an unhelpful error the first time I ran the program. Ultimately the bug was that I was using a lowercase 'o' instead of a zero '0' in the url builder. The API returned a 404, but the c
