   I don’t know whether it’s just Amazon.cn serving up different content according to my IP. I just opened Amazon.cn from Hong Kong and what I saw is not that there are only 5-star reviews, but that there is no rating at all.

   Can we say the same about moths? I’m an avid participant on iNaturalist. I record lots of moth sightings because there really are many beautiful moths in Hong Kong. There’s a “Hong Kong Moths” project on iNaturalist, but adding observations

   Is there a way to view this map link without turning off incognito mode in Google Maps? It keeps bugging me.

   He was at least studying for PhD in Law, according to Xinhua News Agency. I’m not entirely sure whether he ended up getting the PhD. The wording in Chinese is a bit ambiguous.

   Stop spreading nonsense. Xi Jinping studied chemical engineering. Zhu Rongji studied electrical engineering.

   Is it lithium ion? or lithium polymer? Apparently there’s a difference and lithium polymer is supposed to be a lot safer.

   I don’t know R but SQL is definitely ugly. There is no world in which listing the columns before the tables in a SELECT statement is a good idea. It makes intellisense/autocomplete awkward.

   tqdm is one of the (many) really useful packages that make me miss using Python (I’m stuck writing TypeScript for Node.js in my current job).

    I can’t say these will “advance your Python skills”, but these are definitely projects that are worth a look: - Django - Django-Nap - Django REST framework - Flask - Twisted - Tornado - Klein - NumPy - SciPy - Pandas Are they the cleanest,

    Counter anecdata. I'm 39, right eye slightly myopic since I was a kid. Never needed glasses. Always prefered using the computer in the dark since when I was a teen and had an NEC MultiSync CRT monitor. My eyes are still OK as far as I

    Hah, at my last job my colleagues in the software development department were like waging a loudness war. Almost everybody, including myself, brought their own blue switch keyboard to the office. Being an open-floor office with no noise abs

    I’ve tried a couple of mechanical keyboards at this point and I still don’t understand why people rave about Cherry MX blue switches. I have two of the exact same model of keyboard, one with Cherry MX blue and one with Cherry MX silent red.

    If only there’s a market network for quick-swappable rechargeable battery packs for electric cars. Here’s how it would work: you pass by a convenience store or gas station on your way home or to work, pick up some depleted battery packs, yo

    Keep in mind that it’s not all about simplicity. One of the selling points of MarkDown is that it’s legible even when left in its plain text source format . HTML is ugly when left in its source format.

    At a past job, we used a Stripe partner called “Quaderno” to handle both tax calculations and invoicing. Take a look.

    Exactly. I pretty much love everything about Python except its ternary operator. I also prefer C’s.

    Yes. That （關莊） seems about right. I was initially looking for 管莊 or 官莊, both of which would have the same phonetic spelling.

    Thanks. I just found another article in Chinese that also says it’s 關莊（关庄）.

    The source article in Antiquity says Xingyang, Henan province. That’s 河南省滎陽市. Trying to pinpoint it now. (But even Henan may have multiple cities or municipalities with the same phonetic spelling. Crossing fingers.)

    Has anybody figured out exactly where Guanzhuang is? China is huge . And even if TFA says it’s near the Yellow River, the Yellow River is also quite long. Having only the phonetic name, without even the province name, is really unhelpful.
