Sure, I can change what I get, I just disagree that my ordered table is not guaranteed to stay ordered. Neither R nor Pandas will shuffle results by default.

There was that father who sent some naked pictures of his kid to a nurse for a consultation. Google flagged the account for CSAM and reported him to the authorities. Even after being cleared of all charges, Google refused to reinstate his a

When have gamers held firm in a boycott situation? A lot of tough talk that crumbles when a new hat is released. There was that infamous picture of the Steam Group, something like, “Never Buy CoD XYZ”. Half of the group members were playing

End of the day, they both get the job done. Pandas is more ergonomic in that some ideas can be more tersely represented. The downside is that this results in more dynamism which can change if the underlying data gets updated. Polars is more

People should watch the Netflix version of Old Enough! - it is a Japanese show where young (!) children 3-5 year old walk around the neighborhood doing chores. The one scene I recall was where a child was supposed to carry a fish to the but

This behavior has repeatedly frustrated me. I am writing some new transformation, want to see the results, and my first few sentinel rows are nowhere to be seen because they have been shuffled. I do not think of a dataframe as a set, but an

So, if you have the time and energy to go through an arbitrarily painful process, you can always vote. Texas just announced they are going to shut down more polling locations in the upcoming election. I wonder if it will happen to be in a D

We absolutely do know. Study after study has found actual voter fraud to be practically non existent. What does happen a tiny but measurable amount of time: John Smith signing on the line of the wrong John Smith. Actual, intentional rampant

How does this compare vs Microsoft’s Project Silica? Available for purchase being the immediate differentiator, but curious how they fare technically. https://unlocked.microsoft.com/sealed-in-glass/

I would question if those sites only worked with Chrome or just had some user agent filtering in place. There are Chrome only websites, but thankfully most things I encounter are just requiring a blessed id, which can be easily faked.

But what if they violate their contract!" is some pretty tin-foil hat stuff. The foundation of these businesses is stealing IP in bulk.

shoobiedoo was now stuck with a locally useless $100 American. So, he was actually given a hassle to resolve of getting it converted back to yen. If the guy was so hot to not lose a dime, he could have said, “Loan me 10k yen right now, I wi

By this logic, nothing can ever be shared by email. Else someone (user included) might scrape some value from it. If it is truly for my benefit, they could let me opt in or out of the behavior. I truly derive value from being able to sear

Amazon has also changed their email receipts to be worthless. Previously, you would get the product name and price paid, giving you a minimal record sufficient for tracking. Now you get an email that says N items, broadly categorized (house

There was a quote from the Costco CFO that the rotisserie chicken cost them like $40 million annually. It is definitely a loss leader. https://fortune.com/2015/05/29/costco-chicken-prices/

This is pretty fancy to call it a shed. Walk outside any Lowe’s or Home Depot and you will see several pre-built options that can be had for $500-$4000 with them getting increasingly elaborate. Electrical + AC is a firm line where that goes

Even the title and first line of that article supports my point, “New coal plants hit ‘10-year’ global high in 2025 – but power output still fell”. Coal capacity is increasing, but it is not being used. Mostly China is constructing new pl

Solar + wind were 99% of new generation capacity last year. Fossil fuel usage dropped for one of the first times ever. Renewables generated more than coal. Solar installation is huge and the increase continues to accelerate. Every year has

Costco gas is famously a loss leader, typically running 15 to 20 cents below surrounding stations. Is this true? I always assumed that Costco just had better deals/longer horizon commitments so it could undercut local stations.

I am talking about making new chips on older nodes. If China can only build 7nm, but TSMC is at 3nm, that’s unfortunate, but they will survive.
