I found that John Boozman does quite a lot of trading but his data is not visible on your site because he reports it only on scanned-in paper forms. Now, maybe Senator Boozman just really loves paper forms, but maybe he's one of the ma

Thank you for sharing. The example of B vs P is interesting, as modern Korean has the same. The airport code for Busan (South Korea) is PUS because there is no practical difference between B and P in Korean. Same with G/K, R/L, an

This is big news not just because it's NYSE, but because many businesses are doing novel experiments catalyzed by this virus. Closing the floor and trading electronic-only has been technically possible for a while, but perhaps not poli

Loud cars are rare globally but concentrated locally in certain areas such as London's Edgware Road or New York's Sixth Avenue/meatpacking district. I'll ignore the ad hom, it's already addressed by my previous comm

Construction is a public good. Loud cars are a private matter which provide a small benefit to vanishingly few and harm a larger number of people. And loud cars are not only driven in dense urban areas, in fact their owners often prefer to

Imagine a method like this: 1. Enqueue A = openat(...) 2. Enqueue B = read(A, buf, sz) 3. Enqueue close(A) 4. Commit, return B to userspace A and B are placeholders, and A is never known to userspace, it is simply chain

Oh I didn't realize that was mandatory. I thought omitting v2 from the path was sort of OK until you explained this. Now it just seems wrong.

Sure, but why version the new package as v1.20 instead of v2.x?

Such control has been available for many years. On x86 you have "non-temporal" load and store instructions [1] and the Cache Disable bit in Control Register 0 [2] which can be used to suggest which bytes are not suitable for cach

So Pandas 1.0's recommended API for strings is unstable. Seems strange.

by jzwinck 7y ago
I am looking forward to a decade of fewer API breaking changes. However, 1.0 introduces a new column type for strings, recommends its use over the old "object" column type, yet says it is "Experimental and may change at any t

Thereby doubling the cost next time repaving is needed. Oh well, just double the lanes each time the road wears out. In a few generations the problem will go away.

Commercial TVs used in airports and museums often have device bays that can interact with at least power and HDMI, sometimes much more. The problem is they are quite expensive. Partly due to fewer being sold, but also engineering the modula

I recently cycled some of the south coast of China. Some small towns there had roundabouts which served to slow traffic down but had a different pattern than westerners are used to. They drive on the right, but people who want to turn left

UBSan and ASan have essentially zero false positives. They do point out undefined behavior which happens to work on your platform, but at the very least those are still portability bugs.

If your points are with Air France (another airline in the same "partnership") I believe you can. And if your points are with the exact same carrier as the flights you also can. But apparently points on one "partner" are

I tried delta.com but it wasn't able to find some international flights on their own alliance airlines. I called them about this and they confirmed this is done deliberately when booking using points. This made me lose confidence in de

The Tile chips and descendants made by Tilera and now Mellanox might fit the bill. They were noted in the press quite a few times back in 2010-2013 or so. They had 64 cores (sometimes other numbers) and could run Linux (or a bare metal envi
