   That's funny, I've just built the same thing for Asda in the UK https://github.com/markDunne/asdabot It can search for items, add them to the basket, picks a delivery slot and does the checkout. With a little

   I don't have the link, but I also remember reading this story. I tried googling but didn't have any luck either. I just wanted to let you know that you're not misremembering!

   For a while I've wanted to build a big red "Ship it!" button (think emergency stop button). When slammed, it runs `git add -u . && git commit -m "Shipped!" && git push`

   Someone with more in depth knowledge can tell me why this isn't a good idea, but I'm pretty sure you can get something very close to this with graphql subscription query against hasura backed with postgres

    One factor of this battle against trickle down economics is language. 'Trickle down economics' is term that is intuitive, explains itself well, and is easy to remember. It's a meme in Dawkin's original definition of the

    This looks like an incredible trip. Can I ask how did you safely organise a tour like that without getting scammed/putting yourself in danger? How did you get in contact with your driver?

    I agree that Discord seems like an odd place to find this information, but I'm curious to know what prevents you from creating a Discord account?

    I find comments like this one really strange. What do you think is more likely? That there is not a single stream of water hitting it, or there are plenty of fire fighters at the scene you just happen not to have seen any pictures of them?

    The most farcical part of Formula E for me will always be the Fan Boost [0]. I almost couldn't believe it when I saw it on TV for the first time. Fans vote for their favourite driver, and that driver then remotely receives a boost to t

    I just wanted to point out Typora as a nice interface for a markdown editor, it's not really a note taking app.

    I'm using Dynalist, which is definitely an improvement over Google Keep, but I'm starting to find it quite restricting that everything has to be in bullet point lists. What I really want is something thats between Dynalist with it

    Indeed it is. My workaround for the failures of pickle is to use pathos. The API for the multiprocessing module is almost identical to the default multiprocessing module which makes it easy to use as a drop in replacement. Pathos uses Dill

    We'll cross that bridge when we come to it I guess, but we work almost exclusively with human and mouse genomes for now. In any case, I imagine the Ensembl ID is still safer than other encodings in the case of invertebrates. For exampl

    Interestingly, genetic biologists are probably more aware of this problem than most. When importing a CSV containing gene names such as SEPT2 or MARCH1, they automatically get converted to dates by Excel. This has potentially had a fairly l

    I've only seen Edward for the first time today, and it looks quite nice. Could you (or anyone else) comment on why would you choose Edward over something PyMC3? How does it compare?

    I think a word2vec guided brute force approach to the riddles would be the winning combination.

    I had assumed that the AR side of the problem would be the easy bit and that the real issue would be solving the riddles.
