By writing "SEE ID," a malicious cashier can now get your credit card and ID-- enough info to impersonate you in some scenarios, make online transactions, deliver things to your address and steal them, etc. Yes, you have to show i

Looks neat! What's the technology behind it? I'm asking in part for selfish reasons-- my side project in an entirely different domain involves analyzing orderly PDF files. Sometimes the PDFs have text data in them, sometimes not.

Are you really arguing that "you already have 1 deployment headache, why not add more?" One of the signs of professionalism is simplicity-- reducing moving parts and things that can go wrong.

> Hunh you don't you put your queries in sprocs and store that in the data base and your source control system of choice. Not everybody enjoys sprocs-- having 3 sources of truth (repository, dev db, prod db) gives me headaches.

I think you're missing the point of "click fraud[1]". Unscrupulous actors are using botnets to "click" ad network links on their sites, which they then get money for. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wik

Not a GI specialist here, but I've read plenty of randomized controlled trials. The one-liner here might be "high quality[1] study shows substantial reduction in infant infections in rural India[2]." The biological mechanism

Yes, and it's even more bizarre when you realize what we need it for-- critically ill patients who are so acidotic that drugs like epinephrine (adrenaline) don't work. Bicarb reverses that acidosis, it doesn't cure it, but it

The article's thesis, "Well it appears that the GPU era of computing is finally here! Intel is in deep trouble," has an implicit assumption that Intel's future mostly depends on processing power. Is that really the cas

Unfortunately, drug companies have few economic incentives to develop novel antibiotics given the immense costs/risks of human trials and the minimal expected monetary reward. Clinicians reserve the "big gun" antibiotics for

Arvel Gentry, the author, wrote plenty of fascinating articles on sail theory for laymen (and more technical work as well). I suspect his seminal work was How Sails Really Work (1973)-- https://web.archive.org/web/20120

Great advice. Using /bin/false also works, as I found on the Arch Wiki. Do you know what the difference is? modprobe dccp #with /bin/false fails with modprobe: ERROR: Error running install command for dccp mod

I don't think you are in the minority, assuming you have a reasonable way to quickly parse text. I think most developers just Google for one-liners or throw something together in Python to solve text-parsing tasks at hand, rather then

Agreed for the most part, although we should acknowledge that those "new and shiny JS things" make for some extraordinary RAD times and generally don't take too long to learn (at least to become productive). They may have ser
