Use "rsync" instead of "cp". After it finishes copying, it will check to see if the file has changed since it started copying, and will restart the copy if so (with a limited number of retries). If copying the entire dat

In Python you just have to open the special file name “:memory:” to get a memory-based db. I don’t remember what the raw SQLite incantation is (or if it’s different). Also, pay attention to “ATTACH” - it’s the way to use multiple databases

Israel has, in many cities, switched to video evidence - you can review the a movie of the claimed infraction from a few minutes before to a few minutes after it happened. The exact algorithm doesn't matter w.r.t to any specific event

Ok then, Zimbabwean dollars then. The distinction is not because of what Bitcoin is, it’s that you think demand may go to zero. Well, it has gone to zero for “bona fide” currencies like zim dollar recently and German currency 100 years ago.

All you say is true, but it is also true if you replace BTC with EUR. It’s just a statement about the non-canonical currency, nothing to do with Bitcoin.

Banks rarely eat credit fraud; they more often than not make the merchant eat the fraud instead, in my experience. The merchant usually CAN make the bank eat the losses, nit that requires pre-approving each transaction and higher fees, so m

Well, they can at the “real world” interface. They can prevent it from being used, but they cannot confiscate it. Whether this is a problem or advantage depends on your point of view; The people of Cyprus, who woke up one morning to discove

In fact, hiding assets is nearly impossible with Bitcoin. It’s pseudonymous, not anonymous, and once a wallet is depseudonymized (just nymized?), all past transactions to the beginning of Bitcoin are also known. What is impossible with Bi

You can have real Python scripting with xonsh. It combines Python ness and shellness very nicely. I agree that fish is a sweet middle ground spot.

My experience was that the insurance company had reasonable and effective (if costly) requirements - the “install antivirus on Linux” requirements tend to come from payment processors who would be liable for exactly nothing if you got hacke

Indeed. I bought a Lenovo laptop from the online Microsoft store in early 2011 (or late 2010). One if the offered extras was “Microsoft signature” optimized install that sounded like it came with extra stuff. As I was going to install Linux

It has 3 data shapes: atom, list, dict. Lists of elements of the same kind are called a vector, are more efficient, and are like J/APLs one dimensional array - but semantically are the same as any other list. A matrix is represented by

Do note that this is K2/K3 vs. J J hasn't changed much, but K has. K9, the most recent incarnation, is much simpler and more generic than the version described here, and also significantly faster.

by beagle3 6y ago
K can be parsed. Even Q (the English version of K) can be parsed if you consider the prelude a part of the language (rather than part of the runtime environment).

How do advertisers reconcile cloaked first party subdomains? It requires fingerprinting, or the first party to tell the real 3rd party (cloaked as a first party) things like email or real name, that can be cross referenced, no?

Yes, if you only look at pg 25, you’d get these results. But if you actually read the paper (which actually supports the conclusions they reaxh). Median Ct>34.9 group seems to be essentially false positives, and even Ct>33 is not stro

My buddies do PCRs every day, some of them for decades. Non of them work on human tissues, but they all have done PhDs and postdocs in prestigious labs, and some of them are already tenured and considered rising stars. So, yes, they are a

With all due respect, this is how religion is done, not how science is done. I am not an antivaxer, I am up to date on all my vaccines. I was reading the Pfizer report, and I noticed that, w.r.t to severe disease, the placebo arm had 4 peop

It’s network effect, not vendor lock-in. If you are doing B2B, chances are good your peers are also in AWS, regardless of the lock-in effects of other Amazon services (which are real, and like any lock-in are always negative). I am old enou

by beagle3 6y ago
What you pay for in AWS is access to the entire ecosystem, and cheap internal bandwidth to the rest of the AWS customers. Scaleway offers neither. Their competition is Linode and Digital Ocean. But at 72eur/month for M1, you could buy

I have verified that indeed case counts by PCR correlate with hospitalizations and death. It’s a good indicator. I am, however, puzzled by the refusal of testing facilities to actually disclose what cycle count they are using. It could be t

You could do on most things, but it has to be part of the codec to actually work. If you aren’t aware of this scheme, you can just wait until the next key frame. With IDR there is a lot more bookkeeping to do so you can figure out when ever

IB has multiple tiers (and "Smart routing" vs. "Direct routing" IIRC) -- with very different cost structures; I always assumed that selling the order flow is what makes the cheaper ones cheaper. Does anyone know for sure

Let's see now. Is BTC->USD conversion taxable according to your suggestion? USD->BTC? I suppose one or both, that's fine. Now, is a transaction on Binance? (That would be one crypto for another)? Is a transaction on Bitmex?

No, it doesn’t show a conspiracy. The political rather than medical decision making in Israel is out in the open, there’s no need for conspiracies. It took @RanBalicer 3 days to acknowledge the abysmal data, and it was not “gee, we might ha

Most definitely agree. I was only referring to the fact that for Israel it was sufficient to throw more money at the problem to get enough doses; For the entire EU, it is required, but not sufficient condition.

The 2nd dose data maccabi sent out is pure PR; It's basically "We finished vaccinating yesterday, and almost no one got sick yet!" which, while true, is the most fudgible statistic ever. I'm ignoring it and waiting for t

Indeed that is what I meant. Thanks for trying to understand even if I wasn't perfectly clear in my wording. Indeed, maximum efficiency is achieved after 12 days in Pfizer data (and similarly in the Israeli data). That's the reaso

by beagle3 6y ago
I won't hold you to this, even though you are guaranteed to lose in this bet even if you are right - because the trial for 5-12 that would allow to vaccinate them is not expected to yield any data until later than that. Even if you are
