I just updated it this afternoon, for instance. I update it always. The project I'm working in is fairly large Python app with a few hundred Python modules, HTML, JavaScript, etc. I wouldn't expect the size of the project to be li

High-quality knives come from proper metallurgy, especially as it relates to proper hardening steps. If you don't get these things exactly right, the best machining on earth is not going to produce even mediocre knives.

The Treasury's systems were just hacked, in some capacity, last week. If you put the money the government steals from your paycheck for "Social Security" into your own private investment account and invest it in the S&P 5

I was with an employer for 6 years, and I left because I felt like it was hindering my skill building and long term career development. In hind sight, that was the worst mistake I ever made. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

It's not possible to point out the evidence any longer - those days are over. There was a public plan, by the government and the host of big tech companies that are in bed with that government (In-Q-Tel, for example, is not some big se

I love trying to imagine what it's like being inside the mind of somebody who can entertain this kind of material (assumptions based on statistics, alone), while simultaneously believing that the 2020 US presidential election was sound

This has been my exact experience with DDG. I tried Yandex when somebody posted on here that it had old-school style results, and it was true to a certain degree, but I'm not gonna use some Russian search engine. So I just literally st

All one needs to do, in order to prove the theory correct, is to take a new photo at a high springtide[1]. If it's no higher than the old photo, then the theory is correct. If it is higher, then we don't know (because the old ph

LMFAO every example of "modern" looks like a course in how not to design an API, etc. The jQuery examples are so clean and expressive. Imagine landing on a page like that and thinking, "hey, that 'modern' option loo

A total energy level could help with total damage predictions, but, for the individual, wind speed and storm surge are key.

Absolutely no way huh? There are literally corals (East Florida rock reef) that are barely covered in water at high tide, and these same corals were the same amount covered in 1988. I would notice. I would also notice my best friend's

Stats, like wind in miles-per-hour? That seems arbitrary. Why not just use wind speed in plank-lengths per zeptosecond, then? It's almost as if expressive abstractions are helpful for human understanding of large sets of numerical stat

I live ON the beach, and the beach hasn't changed one iota in the past 40 years, other than a loss of the scarp during / after large hurricanes. The TV "science" is becoming so ridiculous that it's hard to fathom

Abstraction is real. So is bad code that pretends to be an abstraction. Small leaks in an abstraction are survivable. Small leaks in many layers of abstraction are ruinous.

Right. The official estimate by the CDC is that 1 in 40 vaccine injuries is reported. None of the 3 I personally know were (suppose that's just anecdotal also). The one received the second dose 3 days before a major stroke, and massive

It's almost as if we could just let people make and live by their own medical decisions. We've got one case in recent history of an argument about "you're making decisions that affect me", and it turns out that this
