Seems very similar to this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22064530 (Which isn’t exactly a great thing)...

I agree that it delves into the realm of triviality that’s not worth the costs of developing the policy and enforcing it.

Thank you for pointing that out. I generally stick to as much plain vanilla Django as possible. This may be dimwitted of me but I currently return a jsonresponse dict as my ‘api.’ In my forms I’ve added a noun that allows me to specif

Same here - I’ve been considering the Ryobi riding mower. Cub Cadet has an electric rider as well. It’s interesting, if you can mod your kids power wheels, these riding mowers are basically the same concept. All you’d need would be the e

I'm a fan of django but have been looking for an alternative to DRF. I'll give this a try - thank you for developing this. Looks interesting!

You have a point re: vindictiveness and pettiness. I clicked the link and immediately scrolled into the article failing to notice the author. After about 30 seconds I had the following reaction, “wait! Is this Taleb?” Despite the severe

This is a pretty good idea. I'd be surprised if there isn't already an engineering / SW team doing this to create better tools / conditions. Maybe there's a way to pull request your ideas into this effort (presumi

I guess the poll questions are useful in terms of unrestricted reopening but say nothing about support for partial reopening / reopening with conditions - which in of itself is a bias by omission.

You’re right g.711 is not ideal either. Jitter is a killer. T.38 is a solution when it’s supported on both sides and it is often not. The best solution is email but apparently every title office and pediatrician in the land cannot be bot

Fax has an ip protocol called t.38 however it is inconsistently implemented. Most services still rely on g.711 - essentially uncompressed voice - for transmission of fax tones. However there is no guarantee the end to end call will be g.7

Sounds great. We just broke out our kitchen aid which had sat dormant next to the bread machine for years. I didn’t know it had a mill attachment but I guess I’m not surprised.

<I’ve contemplated buying a mill. As in a business or the machinery to use at home?

Great advice thank you. Where are you finding the spelt and whole wheat?

Thank you for adding these points. I did not know about the yeast - so thank you!

We just finished our 25lb bag from the Ebola panic buying days... make sure before you buy a ton of flour you know what you’re going to do with it. Bread isn’t very good without yeast (good luck finding that), cakes aren’t very good with a

After reading this I feel like he shouldn't quit his job as a columnist even in the best of times. I think a lot of people keep looking for a dip to buy and being disappointed when they don't see it forgetting that we're so

I remember reading once they generate more a G of force just letting off the accelerator. Back in the day, Nigel Mansell had to leave for a few months for an injury. His next race back he retired because his neck muscles had lost condition

Heh my neighborhood looks like night of the comet... no one out and about at all. No cars... a lone pedestrian every once in awhile.

Thumbs up for typing club. I put my kids on it. I took a typing course when I was 15 and TC most closely resembles that instruction.

If I understand it right this impacts the reserve kept for loans. It keeps banks from calling in loans for all sorts of businesses - particularly those that are owned by your neighbors and employ that vast majority of workers.

Thank you for articulating this. Outside a crisis, I don’t think we should have a standing policy like this in the United States. If you consider the issue from a first principles argument, each citizen of the United States is essentially

No I’m just a business owner who hasn’t paid himself a salary in over a year despite paying the salaries of many others. But yes let’s just keep throwing out those stereotypes. I am deeply concerned both for myself, my family, my church (

I did just read this [1] and do agree that the strategy in South Korea was productive. I think a variant of that where local hospitals provide testing could be useful here in the US. As for inflation, I think we are little too early to poi

I’m not trying to be argumentative and someone who is a lawyer can correct me here but generally speaking a company like ibm is only going to seek licensing from a party where the commercial impact is sufficient to merit the use of their r

If someone invests resources inventing something, why shouldn't that entity be entitled to participate in the on-going monetization of that invention? If we presume the prior statement is simply a straw man, do you agree partially wit

Of course. Keep in mind, I'm not saying that this situation isn't serious. I'm saying I have sufficient faith in the framework of the United States, even in light of the virus, that I'm not willing to trade it for the

I’m perfectly fine with our mishmash. The US has a strong economy, smart people and smart solutions will emerge.

So in addition to lefse and lutefisk, are there any other Norwegian foods you recommend? Ps, I’ve had a hot dog wrapped in lefse... it’s not bad.. especially with chili.

by mattrp 7y ago
Growing up in the 80s In the US lutefisk was a rumor... supposedly it hadn’t been seen since my grandfather last made it when my parents were kids and he’d been banned since then. I asked some friends in Norway and then said theres a joke
