Sounds like a power cycle would fix it, so not so bad. Mild annoyance :)

It would be the same, except - Kroger isn't 50% of all grocery stores on earth - Kroger paid money up front for your potato chips - Kroger isn't charging you for storing your potato chips

I am Amazon, and you sell cat mugs. I offer you a "sold by Amazon" contract, which you accept. I start manufacturing my own cat mugs, and sell them at a price that undercuts yours. You have no way to change your price, so your m

"Docs" is broken :) How can I learn about the language, aside from the examples? This scratches a peculiar itch that I have which isn't quite addressed by other solutions (codepen, stackblitz, replit, etc). Can you import

I find myself wishing for a CLI "design system". For example, given a script that calls some APIs (reads and writes) and does a couple of calculations, what is the best way to use color and space to produce understandable and use

Sure, but being in the middle 10 percentile in height(or some other dimension) would serve to "normalize" the sample; so 400 people are close to the center of the larger range. Despite being close to the middle of the range, some

That last bit seems to be the Crux of why this is so surprising -- being in the middle 50% on some dimension correlates positively with being in the middle 50% on the other dimensions, rather than each dimension being independent as in your

These lists are great for getting us to consider our assumptions, bit I wish more of them had links to read up about the domain a bit more. For example, I know a reason that there may not be 86400 seconds in a non-DST day -- leap second imp

As part of an older generation, it took a while for me to understand how the specificity of emojis is an improvement over regular emoticons. I found myself thinking in terms similar to the author, and I find that somewhat ironic. (I also fi

This is as though Apple were hotlinking his images -- they are being consistently used in a setting besides that which was originally intended, without permission (or even attribution).

Disclaimer: I work at Google, but not in Analytics. I'm not sure that the comparisons here are apple-to-apple. The first graph compares "visits counted in WP Engine Blogs" versus "Sessions counted by Google Analytics&q

Man, you sound pretty grumpy about it. I'm pretty sure that the author does not mean "just like Java but with no types". Python is all about the syntax (and it's certainly not all about "math-friendly" syntax),

It must be vague to deal with unforeseen challenges of the future, just like the Hippocratic oath. A lot of the difficulties we encounter today had no analog 30 years ago for most programmers, and who knows what quandaries will arise in th

p and t are implicitly defined cardinalities (i.e., the smallest cardinalities with given properties). See Definition 1.1 of the source article ( https://arxiv.org/pdf/1208.5424.pdf )

The article is misleading on this point. The Continuum Hypothesis says that it is undecidable in the standard axioms whether there is a cardinality between countable and the continuum (i.e., the cardinality of the real). This work shows t

"Free as in beer" is a phrase (loosely coined by Richard Stallman) to indicate that something does not cost money. This is as opposed to "free as in speech", meaning that it comes with no restrictions.

Instance hours come into play when, for example, you run multiple versions of an app that get traffic, multiple instances for handling high load, or if you have separate front- and back-end instances. A typical user only has one instance go

Seconded -- need better documentation. Also, the demo instance has some injected javascript, so commenting on the dashboard sends you to a pornography site.
