Thanks for this. Looks perfect for my needs. I've got to analyse a hideous generated CSV file with thousands of columns. I was planning to load it into SQLite3 but it has too many columns for import. I was also unpleasantly surprised t

Academia isn't flawless, it's no paradise. It's just humans and their factions, with all the good and bad that brings. > The authors are ... constrained by space due to paper limitations This is very real. Different journa

Gratifying to read the author say that creating something as mind-boggling this was tedious and frustrating. It's great, by the way :)

A Black Mirror episode considers a flip side of that coin: the threat of PTSD as a blackmail device. Granted, alongside some other far-fetched circumstances. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Men_Against_Fire

Well yes, but some Swiss taxes are applied at the point of sale e.g. trash bags, which are very expensive. It's not straightforward to compare salaries in these circumstances.

Personally I read their comment as impassioned rather than ranting.

Bingo. The author was always setting an example. He was simply setting the wrong example initially.

My guess: increasing evidence that blue light disrupts sleep, and that sleep is very important.

I'm finding it a bit hit and miss. I agree, the "shared myths" notion is very appealing. And I enjoy learning the facts that form the skeleton on which he pins his thinking. However, I can't help feeling that a professio

I kinda agree about JS CLI tools. However, I'm guessing the target market is JS-led front-end developers. Installing via npm makes it simpler to drop in to a toolchain that's already oriented around npm. Not saying that's rig

It looks like FreeOTP has no desktop option, is that right?

The "cow in the field" example reminds me of two heuristics I like: am I right for the wrong reason?; am I wrong for the right reason? Being right for the wrong reason is dangerous: it's not easy to spot, and it perpetuates f

Flying by the seat of your pants is completely normal. Read about "imposter syndrome". Obviously you can still improve, and you will. Some basic suggestions: You'll learn from experience while you go, far more than from readi

Yeah, I think this line is easily misread. I suspect the meaning is: "I have a CS degree, but my people skills need work".

Is this a common workflow? Googling suggests almost religious feelings about this.

The choice isn't binary physical or psychological. No biomarkers? How about: currently unknown biomarkers. And why the preoccupation with biomarkers anyway? What are the biomarkers for phantom limb pain or PTSD? A suggestion: spend a

Some suggestions, YMMV. Podcasts or films or boxsets on the phone/tablet to kill that boredom if you're doing steady state cardio. Maybe immersive games like that Zombie Run game, if jogging is your thing. Switch it up, do HIIT in

Do any of these produce finished output that is less than a few kB, and works reliably in say the past two major versions of browsers? Bundle sizes are getting ridiculous. Is there a React UI framework that focuses on tiny build size and br

Off-topic, but is academictorrents being spammed by some authors? There are a lot of single PDFs on there, for which torrents don't seem particularly necessary. Search for "biofield energy healing" for example.

While I generally agree with (2), and (1) is likely right for the wrong reasons, it's (3) and (4) that are the real trump cards. Mainly (3).

It would be interesting if you could briefly say your reasons for moving away from K8s and what you're moving to.

Caveat emptor. Due diligence. Blame/fault isn't helpful here, and it's shared regardless.

Exactly. Funding any project is a gamble. Gambles don't always pay off. There could more emphasis on this. The mental health of the developer is placed way below the importance of delivery.

This is legitimately astonishing.

> Everyone is an asshole to someone. Amazing, I'm stealing this, thanks. Also, by the by, great to read someone writing openly and candidly about mental illness.

Bingo. The exact phrase I use. Sometimes I chuck in "permanent" and "public" depending on context.
