That's fine, it's: > terrible "wilderness years" of server templates and jQuery where things go off the rails.

While we're talking about python caching libraries, I'd like to recommend https://github.com/codeinthehole/django-cacheback "It's an extensible caching library that refreshes stale…

JPEG uses this path for its blocks, rather than anything fancy and Hilbert-ish: http://www.johnloomis.org/ece563/notes/compression/jpeg/tuto... I think this alone would be an impro…

I've seen people use rebase like a patch queue a few times, and it always comes off as awkward and painful. This app seems to make that pattern of use a little less painful -- but …

The trouble is that yarn is legitimately better than npm. My life is better as a developer because of yarn. I'm not claiming that all those transitions were for the best, far from …

Just signed up and discovered a vulnerability. Thanks! A quick suggestion, consider adding a full sample configuration along with your config docs: https://pyup.io/docs/configurati…

To counter with an alternative tool comparison: drills and impact drivers look very similar. I'd bet that most of my friends don't really know the difference. But for some situatio…

pandas is the standard now for most python data munging I've come across. numpy is "low level".

I did't mean anything special about it in conjunction with magnesium, just that glycine itself is inhibitory: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycine#As_a_neurotransmitter > Glycine …

You might find this interesting wrt magnesium supplementation: https://www.gwern.net/Nootropics#magnesium Beyond that, I wouldn't be surprised if the glycine along with the magnesi…

It would be very interesting to see a computer analysis of position strength in the discarded games and seeing, where possible, if the ratios of "likely win" and "likely loss" matc…

Clayton Christensen (guy who wrote Innovator's Dilemma) has a pretty good debunking of the "target user" approach, telling us to instead focus on what job users intend to do with y…

`keys|sort` in jq.

And ultimately, writes resulting from those reads. I imagine yelp has pretty stout analytics/metrics pipeline fed off views and conversion tracking.

This guy has some other great maps worth checking out as well. I think his sharknado one is awesome: https://adventuresinmapping.wordpress.com/2016/06/09/how-to-...

Awesome lists are a great place to get started: • https://github.com/sorrycc/awesome-javascript • https://github.com/fffaraz/awesome-cpp • https://github.com/vinta/awesome-python

I agree, you can do awesome things without too much coding knowledge—but a big part of the current push to teach people how to code is to give them access to the coding job market.…

Whiskey fresh out of the still ("white dog") is pretty rough. Whiskey with 30 days of attentive oaking isn't awful (I'll happily get fucked up on it), 90 days will be pretty decent…

They're not looking at things like antibiotic resistance, they're looking at genes core to biological function like cell membrane proteins and ribosomes—and those look like they ca…

I'd also like to recommend Power, Sex, Suicide by the same guy, Nick Lane. It's an absolutely amazing book that explains the origins of mitochondria, why they're necessary for comp…
