Dockerfiles are easy to edit and validate. Building is just as easy. A container registry saves some time in terms of spinning up a new instance but if you've got a vital service running in a container it makes sense to take the time

I feel that's all I'm asking from anyone who solves a problem: just share your discovery and work so far to save me duplicating your work. If someone has taken the effort to interpret an API and it isn't completely accurate

You appear to have had the exact same experience as I have. I work in the fresh vegetable side of things and the tools that are available are completely closed source and locked in. Even silly things like humidity controls and whatnot. t

This is a valid comment that I'd expand to say "...without exhausting all the tools available." For example, if you're facing lengthy search queries and are looking at partitioning the database to speed them up, many dat

every one of my data scraping projects is littered with files titled "database.db.bak1", "database.db.bak2".... for this exact reason. "Oh I scraped 1000 pages and realized I missed an entire nested data structure

What an odd comment. FLoC is about as far from curing cancer as one could possibly get, even as a metaphor for online privacy. Thank goodness someone is taking a stand against the continuous creep of online privacy invasions, even if they&

I don't think I'd happily pay for Zoom, regardless of their encryption promises. I've personally struggled more with zoom call quality issues and hardware conflicts than I have with any other video conference provider.

Today everyone's strategy is looking more successful as we leave the summer. We will see how it all stacks up in the next six months after flu season.

maybe technically, but not economically. working in the arctic is very difficult and expensive. the value of methane is not only low, but difficult to transport economically.

I ran it on a 67GB sqlite database with approximately 15 million rows in one table and 300 million in another and on an SSD it spit out a result in less than a second. On a mech drive its 5-10 seconds, but that's a factor of 10 faster

Thanks for all your effort! I haven't tinkered with mealmaster files in ages but you've given me a reason to dig through my old CDs to find my archives. Unlike zip files of old code or software, recipes are likely just as useful

You're right; the immediate response is driven by cash flow. The situation im talking about is likely a year or more away as many commercial firms are in longterm leases. I'm just saying that its definitely on the horizon given th

This is just the start. Landlords would be smart to work with tenants to share some of the loss and renegotiate temporary adjustments to keep at least some revenue coming in because the heady days of high demand for rental units is likely b

Although everyone wants to scapegoat AirBnB, interest rates have been historically low for almost 12 years. Reduced interest rates result in increased asset values, especially real estate when long term debt becomes cheaper. I'm not s

I don't see any evidence in media or conversations that anything of the sort is true. If anyone has looked inept in the eyes of the public its potentially the federal administration in the USA. But what blame does WHO shoulder? WHO ap

True enough, but I think they used to be even more unique and over time they've become more like PCs. One of these days I'm going to log in to the admin interface and find candy crush installed.

In my case? pycharm for code completion, debugging, refactoring, etc and notebooks for recording reproducible data analysis steps.

My recollection was that the automated wizard loved to nest statements and it was a huge chore to manually massage stuff after the fact; almost incomprehensible to parse. but I agree that it was a real godsend for people trying to branch o

that would be cool! as an interim step, if your data is small enough, perhaps you could run an in-memory sqlite db and periodically backup to a permanent s3 file? APSW exposes the sqlite backup api so you could do them online without shutti

I disagree. CSVs don't have write-ahead logging and are not able to selectively lock portions file for writes. And I'd say that not only is sqlite in the db marketplace (albeit for a specific subset of database application types)

I think most rmdbs systems are just a file (or set of distributed files) when you strip away all the helper functions. The fact that Sqlite squirrels everything into a single archive doesn't mean many of the abilities housed within a m

Seriously. The last recession was deferred by a massive injection of capital that cut lending costs to almost nothing. The current economy is buoyed by elevated asset prices. If anything, the economy is far more fragile now than it was even

I don't disagree with you. Some of the decisions that went into the ISO standard are real headscratchers for those of us who have been using North American week numbers

It seems like some people don't understand the use case for week numbers, at least for businesses. They allow the ability for time series comparisons for a work week. Using the calendar date is hopeless because the 21st day of a mont

While it's fine and good that ISO has defined week numbers, it has been less than helpful when working with North American firms whose weeks start on Sunday and who expect January 1st to be week 1. I've ended up having to write c

I agree. I was gifted a relatively cheap pair of 'sport'-type headphones and when they broke (I.e. a wire pulled loose from inside one ear bud) I had to order a new pair. Having to charge them sucks but the freedom of no wires whe

I'm one of those recent converts. I picked up programming in my late 30's and the first tool I ended up paying for was Pycharm. I never went through the 'print statement' phase as their debugger is incredible.

I use Pycharm and it's such a superior product that I'm happy to support them so they can continuing development. plus it's a pretty nominal fee from an enterprise development cost perspective so it's an easy budgetary s

3400 assaults is a ridiculously high number regardless of the denominator, IMHO. If anything, the headline isn't clickbaity enough.
