This thing is not over, and the US per capita death rate is not good. In fact it is one of the worst, and you cannot ignore the fact that we still have a huge number of active cases whereas much of the rest of the industrialized world has r

A side hustle would be great but I hate websites that throw a pop up in the users face and ask them to subscribe. The quality of these sites is often quite low, but they often rank near the top because they have good SEO. I wouldn’t feel gr

I'd love to see a better alternative to Excel geared more towards scientists. While it is true that R and python should be used for analysis, its often hard to escape a tool like Excel for data entry or browsing datasets. It would be n

I don’t get it. So when you see a listing on amazon it’s not as though one seller created it?

I have a stack of about 30 Moleskine notebooks I've gone through over the past 10 years. I mostly work at the computer, so I keep the notebook open in front of me while I work and I usually wind up creating a checklist each day of what

What sorts of web pages do you do this for? What if the pdf version is difficult to read?

Looks great! I did something similar with hugo and tried to automate the process as much as possible. I use a utility called jhead to resize, fix rotation issues, and rename photos by date - then I tied this to a folder action on macos so I

I would not classify it as “a lot” even in the wrong places. And, even when paths do exist they are far from adequate.

I had a similar idea. The search aspect of your service covers it but I think it would still be worth considering. I work in science so we are often talking about specific samples Or entities with unique identifiers. I wanted a way to const

How do you hide them? I see an option for that.

I agree that people have finite bandwidth but we are talking about people investing in skills that are useful for the primary function of their job. It’s the first thing to consider if you want to improve your productivity at work.

Wow. This is incredibly helpful. You can use it to see how someone may have used a function with named parameters: my_function(label=x, option_1=2) my_function.*option_1 # search

It’s a great site and greatly accelerated my learning of programming. The form of learning which I call “problem based” learning is a great format for me. You learn from reading up on a topic. You learn from trying different solutions. Fina

Coming to London was a real eye opener. Biking to work in London I get a myriad of smells, all petroleum based I am guessing and each distinct... and I am entirely unsure what they are or where they come from. This is on top of diesel pollu

R is the right tool in many cases but I've observed several cases where people have become overreliant on it and hacked together things that would be better written in bash, python, or other languages.

Previously someone mentioned the idea of a $1/mo. social network. I think if someone were to make facebook in it's first ~2 years and keep it very basic it we would be good to go. The only features you need are: a profile picture,

So maybe this is a crazy thought but I think it would be cool if peloton introduced bikes with steering and buttons and developed games for their platform. I Wonder if people would be receptive - it’s certainly something I would like to try

I’ve thought about this a lot having lived in Chicago and now London and seen two very different types of infrastructure. Chicago arguably has a true “cycle superhighway” with its 23 miles of continuous bike lane on the lakefront I was able

I had heard this was a thing at places like MIT and Stanford. Very rich kids come in every fall, buy everything they need for the year, then throw it all out when summer hits... brand new TVs, clothes, furniture, etc.

It seems like dockerhub requires a lot of bandwidth...lots of people being able to pull gigabytes worth of images everyday. Does anyone know anything behind the economics behind this? How can they offer it for free?

I have only used python (check out cyvcf2 by brentp!), R, and bash previously - so nothing else really compiled (its faster than these in general). But my guess is that you will have an easier time writing nim than the alternatives, and aft
