Can I read/scrape all 1M comments on one of these posts, or does it only show responses from friends and/or people who have looser privacy settings? It'd be pretty interesting to collect and play around with all the same data

"Like Helios" maybe, but I think in Helios's case the 'chariot of fire' is carrying the Sun across the day's sky. As I recall from the myth, at night he sails (on water) from West to East to prepare for the nex

I think they're talking about unfinished, undelivered tasks. A feature that is 99% done but only lives on your dev branch isn't delivering any value, it's just adding cognitive load as another thing you need to think about, t

I use Jenkins as a glorified cron runner in some contexts. One of the things I hate the most is that it's difficult to define jobs as code (the 'Job DSL' plugin works in most cases, but if you're using certain plugins it

One reason to use a tool like this is to supplement hand-written unit tests when doing a refactor. Ultimately, a lot of unit tests' jobs are just to catch unexpected side-effects of a code change. > tests should be written from requ

I'm confused by 1:40. I see e4 e5, Nf3 Nf6 (Petrov's defense). I have no idea how he guessed the correct game from that. Maybe Magnus figured out a bit more by seeing what piece was going to be moved next? Anand is probably a good

You don't need to store the data, just transcribe it. That's basically the business model for Siri, Alexa et al. If you're worried about cost, just offload the work to the cell phone and accept the less-than-100% transcriptio
