The dropdown doesn't help you with "fourth Thursday in November" though, and the calendar button launches a popup window that doesn't work. On archive.org at least -- may have worked at the time, but I disable popups, so

This was aa.com circa 2008, back when datepicker widgets were the hot new thing and calendars in popup windows ruled the earth. Call me old-fashioned but I like keyboards (still)?

Check out http-parser for Python: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/http-parser This uses Dahl's original http_parser.c FSM. With a little work you can write a WSGI handler around it. Highly recommend.

Nice! I've been doing my own taxes for almost 20 years now. A few years back I wrote a little Python program like this one, and it's made the whole process much less onerous. Each year there are some tweaks to the tax code [1], an

Are you suggesting that the command argument to `parallel` is shell that's parsed and reinterpreted by `parallel`? Buffering the output would make more sense, but the OP's command isn't outputting to stdout, but rather ap

Don't do this: ls | parallel -m -j $f "cat {} >> ../transactions_cat/transactions.csv" It only works if all files enumerated by `ls` are smaller than `PIPE_BUF`, which is 4096 bytes on Linux (but was

I've always thought OpenBSD and daemontools would be a great fit. Among other things, OpenBSD and djb share a fanatical devotion to security through simplicity. As the systemd apocalypse approaches, those of us who strongly disagree wi
