Recently it's failed to find functions by verbatim search name within single project searches. I am pretty sure it used to function better than this.

The bank was nearly fully capitalized with low risk investments. Everyone would have gotten their money back anyways, it would have just taken 5-10 years.

Imagine what would happen if startups could not access their capital? By the time funds were available for withdrawal, the businesses would be dead. The regulators then have to track every funder to every dollar to return money. It would take a decade for this to happen.

I didn't see catch this part, but having 10 notes over 4 octaves is not out of the question. If all of those notes are rhythmic, that could be a challenge. All of the fairly wide chords I saw could be played either with sustain or could be easily substituted with spread chords.

Pop pianists don't usually play what's exactly on the page.

Hopefully not too off topic. How do people monitor these BGP announcements? Is it possible for laymen to monitor such route rules?

Question. From my experience, GitHub uses the `github-amo` bot to fetch the data when the page is rendered. How did you prevent it from cacheing on GitHub's servers?

Wake up with the sun or when I am rested.

Eat eggs or whatever I have around with a lot of milk and a cup of coffee.

Take a shower.

Read until I don't want to anymore.

Go to work until I am hungry.

Eat something, usually around 1pm.

Take a walk.

Work a little more.

Go somewhere to play music or sit with friends.

Shower.

Go to bed when I'm tired.

Doesn't this mean that a conditional branch is added to all existing code which performs casting?

Some societies believe it is acceptable to judge people based on their appearance. Arguably, most people do it instinctively. It is just that in America it was deemed illegal. I know there's an epidemic of plastic surgery taking place in some Asian cultures - people getting cosmetic surgery so that they can be employable.

Right or wrong, that is how some societies are functioning.

Why is showing your child a professional boundary? Different phases of life necessitate different accomodations.

This person is advertising their priorities upfront. Startups might see it as a weakness. Established companies might see it as a sign of stability.

LinkedIn is a historical anomaly anyways. It's generally considered bad form to include any photo on a technical resume.

It probably helps that Julia and Fortran are both column major.

When interfacing with C languages, that can be a big penalty (depending on the complexity of the algorithm).

It will probably take two generations of developers to make this happen, but well worth it. When I was studying atmospheric science I tried to understand OpenWRF (weather research forecasting) and the barrier was too high... And I had programming experience, imagine those with none!

An open source project is only as useful as it is accessible to it's average developer base.

Somewhere there is a programmer that tried to fix a bug in 10+ year old legacy code (mso98win32client.dll) who has learned the bugs of legacy are features of today.

I really hope they do not do this. In and of itself it is not a problem, Ruby code is perfectly readable when the style is consistent.

Software developers are often stubborn. The main result of this change will be a mess of code which follows a mix of all the styles. That removes one of the greatest beauties of the Python ecosystem, that there is a "right way" to do things.
