My parents used to work in Louisiana doing PNG transmission line inspection. They couldn't wait to get out of there. The amount of government corruption in that state is staggering, and so this article really does not surprise me.

Before there was Pandas I wrote a website (using Django) to transform grid data into a denormalized CSV file. In other words, a reverse pivot. Basically it converts multiple header rows and header columns as separate fields for each interse

This is sheer beauty. Once upon a time I would experience anxiety when I ran into this kooky stuff. Now I find it delightful because I have come to realize that is it impossible to have a rational discussion with irrational people, and in a

It's not terribly difficult to roll one's own using Vagrant and Ansible. We maintain a project template for this in a git repository, where playbook resources are shared between development and deployment. Other than paths and whi

[2] is nothing but a troll. The statement: "too many footguns to be used for important projects" is so obviously ridiculous it isn't worthy of a rebuttal.

Not really true. Python 3.6 is basically at speed parity with Python 2. There are a few outliers, but in most cases 3 is as fast or faster than 2. Python 3 adoption is exactly where the devs wanted it to be 10 years later. Almost all major

One either loves Chesterton or is bored by him. But in any case, this was very much typical of how Chesterton wrote.

FedEx is at the cutting edge of 1990s web technology. Seriously, this does not surprise me at all. Their desktop products are also a travesty. When UPS had moved WorldShip to SQL Server, FedEx was still stuck in Visual Café.

This particular public forum also has a lot of people who know that a lot of "100% legit" digital-only crap sold on Amazon and eBay is anything but. Does that describe your product? Only grandma knows...

If the OP were running an entirely legitimate business, they would have no issue revealing what product they are selling. They clearly do not want us to know what that product is. This is no doubt because we would have no sympathy for them

Because you would have to give your 1000 friends the Plex login to your paid Plex account, and this would likely be noticed and your account suspended.

No, it doesn't. Their hyperthreading model is clearly not as good as Intel's. Take a look at the Handbrake tests, which take full advantage of hyperthreading. The 7700K, with half the cores, is only a few frames/sec. behind.

I'll believe it when I see independent testing. We've been down this road before.

I have experienced reduced night vision to a degree while driving at night. I now take cod liver oil capsules (for other reasons), and have no trouble at all now.

This alone made WSL way more useful for me. Only thing that's missing now is traceroute.

I think the takeaway is that for anyone who is not vitamin A deficient, eating carrots will do nothing. Vitamin A deficiency certainly causes poor night vision because the body cannot produce rhodopsin. But no amount of beta carotene will m

If I understand the article, that problem is alleviated by illuminating the object with only a single color of light at a time in rapid succession, using the screen of the phone. Presumably, the camera would filter out ambient light from th

We get our eggs from local farmers who raise chickens in old fashioned coops. In addition to tasting much richer without having to pay for "organic" eggs (because they get to run around and eat bugs), they keep longer as well. We

First off, IKEv2 is IPSec. IPSec tunnels are either IKEv1 or IKEv2. The advantages: * It has a streamlined/faster key negotiation protocol. IKEv2 tunnels can be established in a fraction of the time it takes for IKEv1 negotiation, es

Yes, but my dreams blend together code and the other people in my life in a bizarre manner which only makes sense inside the dream itself, but is otherwise ludicrous. It is as if I am trying to debug other people, which of course never work

As to whether my mind is more nimble than persons typically interested in improving their touch typing skills, I couldn't say. I have a high IQ, but I do not believe that translates to the ease in learning a physical skill like typing.

I have switched layouts 3 times in the last 27 years. I began with Dvorak. That wasn't a switch. It was the first layout I learned to touch type on. I think I was 16 at the time. Back then you either needed a keyboard which supported t

On macOS, Homebrew's Python links against it's own openssl which is currently @1.1, so that is the easiest way to avoid this problem (unless one is a homebrew hater).
