Once the Fed funds rate gets closer to 5%, you'll see more pushback from politicians and media. What does the Fed do in this situation if it needs to keep tightening? It may choose to switch to smaller rate changes, or even go flat, and at the same time embark on Treasury sales, or at least, rebalancing along the curve. So either way, not a good time to be in bonds.

> The Drovorub-server uses a MySQL database to manage the connecting Drovorub-client(s) and Drovorub-agent(s).

This assumes the NSA was able to infiltrate the Drovorub C2 server, I guess.

For an alternative approach, if you treat this function as a time series where x is time, you can get a reasonably good approximation by performing SVD of the trajectory matrix and building the forecast from the principal components (eigen vectors) using a recurrent formula.

Here's an example:

* Chart 1. Function value for x in [0, 1).

* Chart 2. Function value for x in [0, 2).

* Chart 3. Function value for x in [0, 1) and extrapolated values for x in [1, 2).

We removed all tracking scripts from the front-end framework we use (vuepress) and are only checking nginx logs with geoip and org extensions enabled. This is more than enough for us as we're in the non-consumer software business with a relatively low volume of page views by human visitors. We see the org, the country, the city, and the page flow. Good enough.

Not having a nose is ok compared to having a half of the head attached from another sculpture. This was the case in imperial Rome when the sculptors had to quickly retrofit works in progress to fit the new emperor. In some periods you had three emperors succeed each other, most certainly involuntarily, within a period of three years.

I liked the MIT lecture on eigenvectors: https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/mathematics/18-06sc-linear-algeb...

This could be some banal snapchat filters and automated photoshop transformations, but it could also be the dawn of new '-ism'.

In Java `x` is reserved for time zone offset: https://axibase.com/docs/atsd/shared/time-pattern.html#patte...

This would put the last year's Nobel prize at risk.

Rubicon is a rather shallow river and is easy to cross by the way. But comparing menage-a-trois to a watershed event in human history deflates the risks taken by Caesar.

We use Travis CI for checks as well as github and travis webhooks to deliver warnings to specific committers who need to fix the errors in a particular PR. Scheduled Travis CI checks send alerts to the general channel if the master branch starts failing.

Our docs are on github. We enabled Travis CI checks and all commits are now automatically validated with the default and custom markdownlint rules. If the linter finds errors, the committer receives a warning to Rocket chat with a link to Travis CI status page containing errors as well as suggestions on how to fix them.

We adopted a set of formal guidelines [0] for our database docs, based on Google Developer Guide [1], and automated the checks as much as possible with linters [2].

The checks cover spelling, markdown formatting, broken links, and grammar/style. For instance, we specifically reject hostnames, domain names, IP addresses, person names, phone numbers unless it's on our Example List[3], which itself is largely based on RFCs.

U.S. expatriation numbers are down YoY, by the way:

According to crt.sh, there were no new domain-validated certificates issued to yEtherWallet.com - https://crt.sh/?Identity=%.MyEtherWallet.com

If you use Route53, I encourage to you to check crt.sh if any SSL certificates were issued for your subdomain over the last few days.

Example: https://crt.sh/?Identity=%.MyEtherWallet.com

Keep in mind that crt.sh has a certain time lag between the time a certificate is issued and a certificate entry is inserted into the crt.sh database.

> which served the website using a fake certificate

This would cause an untrusted certificate error in browsers.

> failed to obtain an SSL certificate while man-in-the-middle attacking

The sentence doesn't make sense. MITM is by definition an attack where an actor was able to impersonate the target. In this case, they presented an certificate that was not signed by a CA in the root CA file on the clients. So this can be qualified as a failed MITM attempt.

Here's the largest Nescafe plant in the world, located in Southern Russia.

Check out some of the jobs on offer:

18:15 - the coffee tasting job

22:30 - the optical controller job

The latter one is crazy. The video doesn't make it clear why it's not automated.

Fed's target is roughly where the 10-year average is, so it's easy to justify a neutral stance.

Some interesting notes in the summary: 1) wolves are one of beneficiaries of political instability (see the section on Balkan states). 2) in case of need, rescue from the Russian population is possible (section 7).

Discord Bot/Webhook API is really great[1].

You can use it to push alerts and charts from monitoring[2]. It's straightforward.

In Slack, a comparable integration requires a bit more footwork with file uploads being a separate part of the API.

You also have to take into account is that chatting is how the younger colleagues want to collaborate. Just like email replaced phone calls, chat apps are supplanting email. What's next? Bots.

Redash is more that just a SQL editor. It's a full-featured dashboarding system which works particularly well with relational data sources.

> Message history up to 25K messages

No thanks.

> batch jobs run on a schedule or a trigger and are integrated with data quality monitoring tools to quickly detect regressions in the pipeline–either due to local or upstream code or data issues

I'm curious what tooling they're using to ensure data quality, in particular time series data.

It's a NodeJS [chart]fiddle app built on top of Axibase TSD to create and test different visualizations using declarative DSL.

It is in fact a demo of declarative graphics at work.
