I enjoyed learning about this, but did it really become a sock and then a shoe again?

It sounds to me like several designs emerged at different stages from the same root idea, rather than a linear transition from one thing to the other.

Add in their points-based system for highly skilled professionals (that allows for permanent residence after just 1 year), and it becomes a very attractive option if the cultural, workplace and language requirements are workable for you.

FWIW, the PDF spec also costs some crazy amount like that for something so ubiquitous.

Usually not. Especially not in machines where you manually set the bits and the machine has no idea of the bit and it's properties, nor of the piece you are machining.

One observation I made while in Japan was that every Indian restaurant had almost the same menu. Like there was a template to success and everyone was following that.

A few tandoori naans, tandoori kababs, standard chicken and seafood curries, and a handful of vegetarian options, topped with the ever present mango lassi.

Can't complain though. A lunch set with all these was around 700 yen - about 5 dollars at today's rate!

The sheer sense of entitlement and superiority in this comment is astounding.

I will not even go into how drying clothes on a line is far kinder to clothes and makes them last longer.

It's interesting that there are so many things like this in Japan where they seem to go into an incredible amount of detail. Sometimes, waaayyy more than what might really be needed.

Is a 13 dollar nail clipper really all that much different than the one that costs a dollar?

I'm curious. What is the 2% you feel differently about?

A lot of people seem to swear by Zojirushi and Panasonic.

I've heard people say not all brands cook brown rice equally well though.

Thanks for posting the direct link. I liked the context in the article so I posted that instead of the video.

They now have a DM250 version - https://www.kingjim.co.jp/pomera/dm250/

Even ignoring the fact that batch files still have their place in a world where PowerShell exists, that is a needlessly inflammatory reply to someone who shared their knowledge with everyone.

On Firefox for Android Beta, the default seems to be to opt-in, to share "Marketing data" with their mobile marketing vendor, Leanplum.

This caught me by surprise and can be changed in the Settings -> Data collection menu.

Setup a hook that exports to HTML and send the file to your mail? Not an elegant solution, but gets the job done.

Pressing the Home button on the Switch controller automatically changes the input source to the Switch, on my TV.

With git-auto-commit [0], you can define a hook that commits and pushes to a private repo every time you save your note. Set this up after a HDD crash wiped out 6 months worth of notes.

Just in case someone misread this like I did, you need to reinstall each add-on. Not FF Beta itself.

After recommending Blokada to someone, I realized the version on the Play Store can only change your DNS. The full version is on F-Droid.

Wouldn't that data be held in the language's kernel? When I load a 4GB file into memory in Jupyter, the memory is allocated in the python kernel, not the browser. Although I guess your point would be valid for iodide.io which seems to run everything in the browser.

A beach ball has no "edge", but it definitely has a boundary surface, and everything on the other side of this surface is "not beach ball".

Now what lies beyond the universe's boundary surface? Is such a surface even present?

Nothing, honestly. I was just looking to learn if there was a tool in C that could let me be just as productive as Pandas.

Do you know of any libraries in C that give me an easy way to manipulate tabular data by columns, like pandas does?

It's not difficult to package, but if your experience is anything like mine, distributing a 400+MB zip containing all the dependencies and the python core+stdlib is no fun.

Anyone else missing context? The link opens to what seems like a Kindle related forum on mobile.

EDIT: Links to the forum post when I use "Request desktop site".

Could you please elaborate on how you use orgmode for interactive programming?

You mean like Opera before v12... What an amazing piece of software it was.
