I began using a Github wiki this way. I like writing in markdown, and scaffolded some basic navigation between days, weeks, projects and meeting minutes. It’s been super helpful. I upgraded from billet journaling after finding that a paper

There’s a pandasql library which lets you execute SQL on dataframes. It’s a little slower because it needs to serialize via SQLite, but it’s a quick way to get going. https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pandasql

The biggest obstacle was the swelling in the wrist after surgery. I had to keep it elevated for quite a long time, and it would throb and be painful when I lowered it to the keyboard. That passed gradually over 2 months. The finger dexterit

I used Karabiner for a month after getting hit by a car and breaking my right wrist. I couldn't use that hand at all whilst it healed. I had Karabiner remap my keyboard to half-qwerty, so that I could type entirely using my left hand o

I'm really sorry to hear it. My wife passed last year of her brain tumour, a medulloblastoma. It had come back a few years after it was first discovered and treated. Getting an initial diagnosis like that changes everything very quickl

It's annoying for sure, and I like that we don't need it in Python land. But, in situations when we do want to target multiple Python versions, an identical approach using pyenv works well. I've come to appreciate it more.

The last time I did something like this, I had a couple of reasons: I was sick of using VMs and adjusting their sizes to requirements, I wanted native docker support, I had trouble with some scientific libraries on OS X, and finally at hear

I love argument maps, they work much better than an essay form at trying to capture the complex aspects of an argument. But, an additional editorial aspect would be nice. One problem I see here is people wrapping too many ideas into a singl

Another article lists the author, Gregory Lewis, as a practicing MD in the UK. So he didn't forgo his medical career. Probably he was already well into it by the time he went through these numbers. https://80000hours.org&#x2

I agree that planes are faster over longer distances, and cheaper too. The amount of hassle involved in planes is definitely more though, more waiting, you're supposed to be there earlier, more transit time to and from the airport. I t

Github didn't always distinguish well between repos you'd substantially authored and long-lived off-hand pull request forks. This made it annoying as a showcase of your work. Fortunately, they've made things much better now.

Well, picking a shorter commute is a reasonable choice to make. Longer commutes don't take time from work, they take time from family, and are associated with higher divorce rates, at least amongst Swedes. In a city like Melbourne, whe

The best thing about prolog is how naturally search happens: state facts and rules once, then query them in many different ways. The worst part is, as the paper describes, constantly having to curb this search so that Prolog runs efficientl
