Frankly I prefer Ctrl-[ over Esc because it requires less hand movement.

Smarter on what dimension? Loans charge interest so will always be more expensive in the long run. If you're talking about the opportunity cost of "well what if I invested that cash in the stock market and made higher returns than

I'm an avid audiobook reader. (My wife gets annoyed when I call it "reading", but still.) I personally wouldn't use audiobooks for learning and assimilating brand-new content to a high level of detail. It's just too

Professional lab researchers use physical notebooks because they are lo-tech and immutable. A pre-numbered page in a bound book can't be torn out surreptitiously. Pencil and white-out are disallowed. They're simple and tamper-evid

That only works if you have the previous version on your machine, which we did not.

The problem with that is, using readline 7 as an example, you need to have had readline 7's image cached on your machine, or it still needs to be 'tappable' or whatever in order to do that. In this case, brew master _only_ ha

Know what annoys me about Brew? This just happened last night. I had some package that required readline 7.x; Brew uses readline 8 now. It's not possible to simply command `brew install readline@7`. It took me 30 minutes to figure out

Sure, lots! We've made lots of progress just in the last decade or two. LSTM, recurrent, and convolutional nets. Slightly older (late 90's), but I think Random Forests were a pretty significant breakthrough. Another huge one is Pa

My response to the first, at least, is that sometimes you can do everything right but still lose. Edit to add: I am however skeptical of Sears' particular situation. I'm not sure these execs have the company's best interests

I'm not very familiar with Workflowy. They are similar though. I would say that Workflowy is what you'd get if you restricted Notion to only allow list items at the top level. In Notion every paragraph is a "node", and a

Try out Notion. Works great on all my devices (MacBook, Chromebook, Android). Free tier is quite generous. I really like that in Notion you can just spin up quick data tables with rich data objects underneath. But also -- don't underes

I use Notion for personal projects and love it. Very easy to learn. I used it to plan and execute my NaNoWriMo challenge last month and really have nothing bad to say about it. Works well on all my devices. But it's unstructured. I thi

Maybe your DB creds are in a secure configuration system and maybe the KMS credentials are granted by an IAM instance role. If only certain users are able to get access to config (ie RDS), and only certain machines are able to decrypt data,

Well, yes, if you're using AWS KMS you are able to set up policies, revoke access through IAM, use alerts and monitoring, and so on. But you're also forgetting that most data breaches in real life involve database backups, staging

Well, it's still tough. The question is always "gained root to what ", cause at some point somebody needs a key. Envelope encryption is a good scheme. Under envelope encryption you have a master key and per-row or per-unit k

After having service with Verizon, T-Mobile, and Google Fi, I can say I like Fi the best. I'm almost always on wifi, and when I'm not it's because I'm traveling. My monthly bill is about half what it was when I was on T-

As an example, the common temperatures in NYC range from 0-100F. In celcius that's like -18 to +38. I'm a scientist and an engineer, and in those applications C is often better. But in daily life, Fahrenheit makes a ton of sense.

I think BigCorp prefers to bring on the strange/quirky talent through acquisitions and acquihires, rather than through the front door. That way, strange though the individuals may seem, their track record is proven.

Yes, it would! Fuel lasts about 30 days before it starts to oxidize. That basically starts to leave a gunk behind as the gasoline both oxidizes and slowly evaporates from the not-quite airtight tank. The fuel in the injectors evaporate and

The most important thing to do is to track your calories. If you haven't done that yet try it for a month and see what happens. Worthwhile experiment.

Not OP, but one thing I've always found absurd about our medical practice is doctors recommending things like whole wheat pasta for type 2 diabetes. Really? Plate of carbs? Many health systems here still have this kind of stuff in thei

And who is the trusted organization that makes the determination whether a license adheres to OSD? Unless you want to hire your own lawyer and make the determination yourself, the world must wait on OSI's review of the license. Until f
