If you haven't yet, I highly recommend watching to the Royal Astronomical Society Press Briefing [1], where the main researchers present the results of their research. It's just 30 minutes and pretty well explained (although I&#x2

The trained model doesn't seem to be available? Does anyone know if this or a similar model is available somewhere?

If you can call them a tool, tests would be close to the top of my list. One of the most important metrics for productivity is how quickly you can get feedback if something you did worked. A fast test suite is great for that.

I just reinstalled my machine from Ubuntu 16.04 to 20.04. I'm using i3wm for a few years, and things never worked out of the box. The sound applet, VPN, and other small things that quickly add up. I'm now using Regolith [1] and lo

Clichés have this issue. They are the fruit of deep introspection by generations, but the end result feels so small that it can be easily ignored. We are all connected. Love thy neighbor. Consciousness is an illusion. Yadda yadda. Boooring.

You might enjoy Wait But Why's Religion for the Nonreligious post [1]. It gave structure to the thoughts I had for a long time. I also say that my concept of God is explained in a Simpsons intro [2]. It is based on the Powers of Ten vi

I struggled for a long time managing my money. I had cycles where I decided I needed to organize my financial life, then download a software like MoneyLover (Android), and go over the last couple months of my statements to add every purchas

I'd highly recommend the Kimball books, e.g. "The Data Warehouse Toolkit". Unless you're working with a lot of data, the technical parts of a data warehouse are relatively easy to grasp (the dbt team wrote some great pos

Not a Marxist text, but this is kinda frightening (the initial text is in italic): Do not vaccinate your children! A number of studies have shown that vaccines do NOT prevent disease. For instance, vaccines are responsible for almost all

Pretty impressive! This is what I got (my initial text is in italic): One day I woke up suddenly after a bad dream. I was sitting on my bed alone. As soon as I turned over I found myself lying down in a strange bed. It had no bed, no matt

I agree it's weird, but it's not that uncommon. The product names tend to follow the company's name (e.g. Dell XPS, Ford Fiesta, etc).

Neat! Congratulations on launching, it looks amazing. I built a similar tool a while ago, but to share your entire (read-only) shell session interactively: https://shellshare.net/ . Might be useful for some looking at this.

Isn't that the same with any collection of libraries? If you don't use a framework and just pick your libraries, you'll still need to ensure that their versions work fine together.

I agree that any social network can be used as an escape. People can get addicted to almost anything. The difference is in the funding source of the owners of the social network. How do they make money? On most social networks (Facebook, In

This sounds like the tale of many Brazilian civil servants. Civil servants in Brazil are either indicated by someone ("comissionados"), which means your job is tied to the current administration, or you've passed in a selecti

I'm not in my computer now, but doesn't "grep -v" solves your issue? If I remember correctly, it inverts the query, so it would return 0 if there wasn't a match.

I think there are mainly two aspects: sharing an artistic side, and sharing what's happening in your life. Stories are focused on what's going on with your life. I find it valuable to connect with friends, especially those I don&#

I brushed it off as a mere novelty when Snapchat came with the idea of ephemeral posts. I was wrong. It really changes our relationship with the posts, which means we share things that we wouldn't share in other way. That's pretty

Although there're multiple issues with CSV, it's the de facto standard for tabular data. We try to avoid its pitfalls by limiting how the CSV must be (UTF-8, header in the first line, etc.) There's a brief explanation on why
