   There's a reason nobody has ever extended him this offer, and I suspect this is it.

   That is great. Also helps remind you that for very large numbers, the precision is in the hundreds-of-thousands.

   The equation fleshes out the detail that the visualization misses. I do best when I have both.

   Well, really the reason for the bias is so that you can get a negative exponent. If E = 10, then the exponent will be 2^-117. You might still need a negative exponent with a positive sign. The offset is used rather than two's complemen

   I'd pay $13-15 for the doner in the article for sure. (NYC)

   You just described two companies that became the ad channels, so they certainly are a bit of an exception. Even Apple, who has the most word-of-mouth viral product line in all history, used advertisements from the beginning.

   But why would Google pay YouTube creators out of pocket when the creators are perfectly willing to upload for free, as they have from the beginning?

    Not OP, but I also made a party app (unrelated to jitsi). It's barebones, but you can use it free and anonymous at https://zonko.chat

    I really love LICEcap, I've been using it for years. It's a simple program that does exactly what it advertises to do, no fluff.

    This was fantastic. Played the whole thing. Lots of fun, kudos!

    PHI is the same as PII: it can be used to identify a patient. It does not apply here.

    There are engineers who have to worry about quantum effects that physicists barely understand. I think, by definition, that's harder than Turing-complete software.

    Very cool. I was thinking about this space earlier today. How long does it take for a submission to post to the site? I understand the dashboard is probably an internal tool, but it is quite.... opaque. Also, what does "Domain to Publi

    I prefer using mocked data in dev. Smaller dataset, no possibility of PII leaks.

    I haven't tried this and don't know if it would work -- but depending on the shape of your data and queries, you might not need certain indices. That is, for some workloads (especially if you're thinking of spot instances), i

    He's talking about a specific class of funds that are sold generally to institutions. Think buying funds in "wholesale"; they have low fees, high minimums. Those same funds can be bought "retail" though, with normal

    He's talking about the "Admiral" class of funds which have lower fees but higher minimums. (And most are $50k min, not 500k). Most of these funds can be bought at lower minimums too, they just have higher fees.

    I had one and then one weekend while we were away it broke, flooding my apartment, causing damage to the lobby below, and eventually getting us kicked out.

    Hear hear. I do bullet journaling with a pocket-sized softcover moleskin. The notebook lives in my back pocket and it's definitely way better than any app I've ever used.

    Check out Bullet journaling. It's a simple checklist plus one or two other "tick types" that's quite helpful.

    TBH I don't think so. Screen is great, but overall tmux is better. Screen is often shipped by default with linux OSes so maybe there's some advantage for airgapped machines, etc.

    I'm a tmux man myself, but I'm really glad to see that screen is still being actively maintained.

    I custom built it in node. It's a straightforward forum, except with the private groups feature, some modtools for this specific use-case, saving items, and elasticsearch-powered fulltext. Its best feature is that it doesn't use

    Market size isn't a consideration here.. I just like building communities and getting people to help each other. When you're talking about small groups of a dozen people, it doesn't matter so much if there's only 100 or

    Just launching. I'm going to fill up the first batch and run just that one for a while. If it's working well I'll start opening up more batches. I'm hoping for the first batch to include 3 people I know personally, plus

    Sorry, but I don't think that's part of the 12-factor app. The 12-factor guideline is that apps shouldn't be dependent on implicit dependencies (I dunno, like having imagemagic installed on the system), but instead should u
