   96% specificity. That's really good for a screening test.

   I love the bughunt. I hate greenfields. I procrastinate when I have to write a project someone else has to maintain. I feel the pressure to perform. Squishing bugs is fun. That was someone else who done the foulup.

   Ok. Had to stop reading after the first paragraph. Python is not dynamically typed. Try doing print("Answer is:"+42) and the interpreter will not try to save you. Dynamic assignment != dynamic typing.

   I'd be surprised if that EO won't come up for judicial review before SCOTUS before too long. And it probably gets the same 6-3 treatment.

   I generally think that paper and pencil are far superior to electronic machines for voting. Algorithms and computing can enable methods to support paper voting. Clarification: serial number is mailed with the ballot, contains a signature

   The serial number in my scheme would not be linked to voter. It's not registered, only signed for the validation code.

   I'm in a country where the right to vote is not under attack (yet at least). The Republicans have been doing their level best to reduce the number of voters and slicing the electorate into favorable lots (gerrymandering). Now it would

   I don't know how the implementation of mail-in voting is in the States. Here's how I would implement it: 1. Ballots contain: a ballot, a serial number, a small envelope and a large envelope. 2. The voter fills in the ballot and st

    There's a big murky middle where you can't really tell but in the case of what Trump is complaining about an informed observer would come to a conclusion really quickly.

    I always advise juniors to document their code because they never know, next maintenance programmer to touch it might be themselves. I can't remember why I wrote code a week ago, let alone 6 months.

    Best feeling I ever got was when I was starting out using list comprehensions and ternaries in Python. I sometimes got the (slightly creepy) feeling I wasn't so much writing this thing myself but using a feather duster carefully to cle

    I've never had to think about this. Always had the option of just opening up more capacity. My choice for application server (uWSGI) doesn't have easily found configurations for dropping connections on high load. Lots of documenta

    Might have been tried and not worked. Might have been a limitation in scaling (f.ex. only being able to do master-slave replication and not being able to add more master nodes). Remember: it's bad software to begin with.

    It's like thrashing for memory. Once you can't keep up with requests it's extra strain which inevitably will bring down the system.

    I'd imagine this is the next couple of years in finance due to COVID. Shocks and reverberations for a long long while.

    Lack of testing and a laggard&lackluster response by authorities. USA will be one of the hardest hit countries in the world. There's still no stay-at-home order. Trump wants to reduce what little is being done after Easter. That&#x

    Thank you for your perspective. I did understand the point made by Hinkley. May I ask, did you use CBD only or THC with CBD? I've only known it to be effective with both.

    I just took possession of a Model 3 about 2 weeks ago. Feel like I underpaid for it when seeing how some of the residuals are being used now.

    For every reasoned answer you give them an avalanche of utter bullshit flows forth. This might be one of those rare occasions where the solution to bad speech is not more speech. The mind of the conspiracy believers is just too darned effic

    I've seen people swear off toilet paper in favour of the bidet. Perhaps this crisis will wean us off a couple of unnecessary consumer habits.

    Invest in funds you know are bearish. That's the market for the next couple of months at the very least dealing with the shocks, even if we get a small rally after good news. I don't trust Trump to handle this situation with any m

    I went through a similar transformation when I finally understood LiSP. I knew Python and had programmed in it for several years but it was breaking into Scheme that changed my approach. I wonder if learning new paradigms always changes h

    The nuclear industry is still wearing the ball and chain of solid fuels. Everything wrong with nuclear energy is due to that single engineering faux pas. Oak Ridge ran an MSR for 5 years. It would be tragic if it couldn't be mended but
