At the tax authority we could query that directly from a database. But yes, the public sector suffers from countless different systems that have accumulated over the years. It happens because everything has to go out to a public bid and thr

It works okay. You can setup unicode blocks and use them. I have a collection of python scripts you can use for text manipulation: - regex: https://github.com/olsgaard/Japanese_nlp_scripts/blob/master ... - tra

Last time I was at the doctor, I answered “not that I know of” when asked if I had any allergies. Afterwards at the pharmacy, it turns out my prescription included a box of antihistamine.

Weren't people on the go 50 years ago? This need for bottled water is relatively new. Some of us on HN lived at a time when the concept was absurd, others have grown up with bottled water. Meeting rooms used to serve a carafe of water

Obviously there are many things going on here, and I am not saying this is the end all explanation to the whole thing, but an interesting part of the puzzle I came across during a project I did on the brewery industry during my bachelor, is

A few years ago I decided I wanted to buy one of his limited prints with some extra money I was to earn. Then I pushed it off for a bit due to a few poor excuses, and eventually forgot about it. And now his prints are of course ... out of p

I thought I was pretty good at regex, but I could never have written this one and had to consult both `man grep` and regex101.com. Explanations for the beginner and intermediate regex and grep user: `-o`: Only return the match, instead of t

Does anyone on HN have any of these "surprising" email addresses that most people and developers do not expect? How does it work with common e-mail clients? How do people react when you show/tell them your email? I have a dom

Since we are sharing our getting out of doom scrolling stories, I’ll share how I got off Reddit. I realized that most of what I was reading on Reddit was fabricated outrage (since then they’ve added subs like “makes your blood boil” and “id

I really got a lot of use out of taking the GCP data engineer course on coursera (the one by google aimed at the cloud cert) and then later taking the actual certification. With that being said it was very focused on BigQuery, and my impres

I took a hint from Gorkish, having never heard of SQL triggers before, and I gotta say, the 2-query answer is really thinking out of the box and very clever. I learned a lot from it!

You really need 3 for the first puzzle and 1 for the second puzzle. Spoilers ahead: - 1st query to get the crime report. This contain plaintext clues. - 2nd query to get witness interviews. Again, these contain plaintext clues that can&#x27

When doing my master thesis, I wanted my plots to be printable on a black and white printer in case my professor would print or photocopy it (you never know) I wrote up a blogpost about my findings on how to generate monochrome plots. I h

This reminds me of a joke I used to tell people, when I was writing my master thesis: "I wish I was doing my PhD thesis now. That way, I can finish writing my master thesis by procrastinating my PhD."

That's a really neat way of trimming the file extension, something that can end up being quite tedious to do with SED. Do you know of a cheatsheet that describes what all the percentage sign means and other things you can do with para

A lot of the tips from TFA can be done in BASH as well and I'm sure the following of my own zsh tips also have a bash equivelant, but I'd like to share anyway: Pure theme - My absolute favorite shell theme. Has almost all the bell

Inspired by similar plaintext to-do discussions on HN I also built my own system. I use Sublime and I love scrolling. The second makes the system in TFTA not good for me, and given the first, I didn't mind my implementation being edito

Mostly because I didn't know of it. But also if you want to log caught exceptions as debug, because you were expecting the exception. E.g., a StopIteration exception you for some reason might want information about, or you have an obje

Kinda off-topic, since the article is about not making errors, instead of logging them, but sometimes you are not in control of input, and you expect some exceptions that you want to log. In Python, instead of the example in the blog:

That was my initial goal, but I had a lot of trouble with vanilla MeCab not understanding a lot of the text. But this was before neologd, so i think it would work better now. I don’t have the source code on me, but I scraped it from a websi
