   I recently had to impose a timeout on a dbus operation using python and the only way I could get it working reliably was with a subprocess. Everything I tried using threads was crazily unreliable.

   I remember a similar sentiment being expressed in IRC chats back in the day, ie. that it was way better to use mailing lists because they publicly recorded all the problems and solutions.

    Now imagine you were able to go and edit the sign that says it is ethanol free to add the details of your test and dispute the claim, that would improve the knowledge.

    Yeah that's a bummer :( And yes drugs have made incredible advances -- my aunt (and hence my brother's aunt) had MS and her life was ruined by it. Pretty amazing to see something advance that quickly with such a stark difference i

    Wikipedia is on your side: "In mathematics, approximation describes the process of finding estimates in the form of upper or lower bounds for a quantity that cannot readily be evaluated precisely" This process doesn't use upp

    The authors of the paper disagree with me, the authors of the article don't (they use both approximate and estimate, but the paper does say estimate).

    Absolutely cannot work. Neither due dates nor prioritised task lists can withstand the rigours of a real work day. I submit to you that the only useful prioritisation strategy is shortlisting: https://benkoworks.com/shortlis
