Absolutely. I don't mean to make the issue a partisan one, but to point out that it is distinctly non-partisan (at least between the Democrats and Reuplicans).

Thousands in the Middle East died from Obama's presidency. At a certain point you start to think that the "lesser of two evils" strategy just shifts the playing field to be ever-increasing in its evil across the board.

Why not just make a website?

Qt is cross-platform, very stable, and has sane Python bindings. No other reasonable choice (imo).

There is a tree directly outside of the window right next to my bed. In the morning, I watch the variety of birds (changing with the seasons) flit around the branches, socializing with each other. It's simple, but a highlight of my day

It might be fun/interesting to pipe pieces transcribed to MIDI into your system and see what falls out. I'm sure it'll be nonsense, but perhaps fun nonetheless. (e.g. http://www.piano-midi.de/chopin.htm )

This is pretty clever, I like it!

Actually we do this in the lab I work in. Look up laser ablation of neurons in C. elegans.

Do you have web blocking on safari enabled? When a friend and I tried this, there was no way to block individual sites that did not also block many sites with seemingly arbitrary rules (stackoverflow was blocked, even though it was not on m

So why don't you start to tackle them? Problems get solved when real actual people do hard work, not when some ephemeral "they" decides it is time.

Hm clearly I've got some more learning to do about this. Thanks!

You're looking at a specific term that has caught on, of course there is a spike. The ancestral comments are talking about the idea of disinformation, which I'm guessing has been around as long as humans started talking to each ot

This is not so much a review of the book, but a summary of it. Coincidentally, I'm reading this book right now - my advice would be to read the actual book as opposed to this summary. It is much more lucid, and gives you a deeper sense

I made an Elasticsearch querying tool that lets you construct multiple dependent queries. If I hadn't taken an Algorithms class, I wouldn't have thought to use a directed acyclic graph, and to topologically sort the different quer

I think this is a really bad/scary idea. A great thing about democracy is that _everyone_ has a voice. I grew up in Birmingham, Alabama. In school we were taught a great deal of the Civil Rights movement, as much of it happened in our

This is a fair point, and one that I hadn't considered.

Love this idea :). I would suggest making submitting a book easier through an online form, though. The process of forking, editing a raw JSON file, and submitting a pull request seems a little primitive, and has a high cost to those who wan

I'm in a similar position to you in regards to facebook. My strategy is to use custom CSS to remove the elements of the site that only serve to distract me (newsfeed, etc.). I still get notifications for events, chat, etc. so it works

Tornado[1] is another (stable, mature) async python web framework, if people are curious. This looks really cool though! I think Kyoukay is to Flask as Tornado is to Django. [1] http://www.tornadoweb.org/en/stable/

I'm building a secret management solution for my team right now that will work securely with docker. I think it's pretty cool - I'll write how I'm doing it later today.

This is correct - I just set this up today.

Well the same thing could happen again. I'm imagining that it wasn't particularly pleasant the first time, and just because it (probably) can't get worse, doesn't mean the same outcome won't hurt less. So it seems t

Awesome! Could use this technique to create a personal version of Google photos (thinking specifically of their automatic generation of albums of 'sunsets' or 'dogs').

I'm unclear as to what you mean by parsimonious.
