When the virus persists for days on most surfaces and everyone is required to wear disposable gloves, customers bringing their own reusable bags has never been less appealing than it is right now. NYC (coincidentally) banned single-use plas

I think I remembered reading it here: https://www.learnwitholiver.com/japanese/blog-post-2 My mistake. Thanks for the correction.

Japanese readers don’t literally rotate the book unless it’s a long quotation. For names or a quote of several words you just get used to reading rotated text. I’m not arguing this is a good design. The parent post said “... and unless Japa

When Japanese text is written vertically, Roman letters (with the exception of short acronyms) are indeed written with a 90-degree clockwise rotation. If you were reading a novel in Japanese that contains a brief English quotation, you woul

I assume there are potential users who can’t easily perceive furrowing of brows, but who could infer its context-dependent meaning if it were made more obvious when it’s happening.

This borders on spam. This is the third time you’ve submitted this post in the past two months and the feedback is no more positive this time. Yes, you can do just about anything in Python. But single dispatch is usually a bad idea, and imp

For a disposable item like face masks, consumers would gladly pay 3x the pre-pandemic mask prices for their own personal use. The buyers who aren’t willing to pay 3x are hoarders and resellers, because there’s no guarantee enough people wil

This is known as “negative concord” and shows up often in colloquial English. While popularly associated with African American and Appalachian dialects, it actually occurs almost everywhere English is spoken. (E.g. Pink Floyd’s chorus, “We

This seems like a guaranteed recipe for overfitting. You’re searching over an enormous space of analytic functions and reporting fits without (as far as I can tell) any regularization penalty on model complexity or validation on holdout dat

Hold ctrl (on Windows) or cmd (on Mac) when clicking the bookmark. It’s actually tricky to open a data URI in a new window using JS, in a bookmarklet or elsewhere. Browsers block it because it can be a vector for phishing attacks.

Not at all. It’s called a data URI, and most people will never have any reason to think about them. They’re mostly useful for inlining very small icons in CSS files as hexdumps. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_URI_sc

It’s a text editor. It can edit text just fine. If you need to do esoteric stuff like opening/saving you might as well install Visual Studio or something.

That’s not the world’s simplest text editor. This is: data:text/html, <html contenteditable> That’s a working URL. Paste it into your browser. Bookmark it for later. No distracting GUI. No superfluous features like “save”

If the files are sorted, merge in Python (`heaps.merge` or `sorted` on chunks plus `itertools.groupby`). If they’re not sorted, a single pass is mostly out of the question — you need out-of-core sorting. GNU sort with intermediate compressi

This feels overly sensationalist. It's no surprise that in domains where low-parameter models work at all, they often work better than NNs. In econometric forecasting, where the traditional methods encapsulate more prior knowledge than
