That's fine, it's:

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 cache items asynchronously using a Celery or rq task. The key idea being that it's better to serve a stale item (and populate the cache asynchronously) than block the response process in order to populate the cache synchronously."

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 improvement for the mp3 encoder.

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 patch queues are better. I wish more people knew about them as a source control tool.
mercurial queues - far and away the my favorite patch queue implementation - https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Mercurial/Q...
stacked git - a solid git patch queue - http://procode.org/stgit/doc/tutorial.html

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 it, but the real question for any language community to answer is: "how much churn is acceptable in the pursuit of better?" JS is an ongoing cultural experiment in seeing what happens when you turn that dial to 11.

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/configuration/
It's a lot easier to see how it all sits together with a sample.
CircleCI has a great example: https://circleci.com/docs/1.0/config-sample/

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 situations, an impact driver is an entirely more capable tool.
If you use a drill all day, professionally, you'd be a fool not to take a serious look at an impact driver and see if it makes your life easier.

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 accomplishes several functions as a transmitter in the central nervous system (CNS). As an inhibitory neurotransmitter, it participates in the processing of motor and sensory information that permits movement, vision, and audition. This action of glycine is mediated by the strychnine-sensitive glycine receptor, whose activation produces inhibitory post-synaptic potentials. In some areas of the CNS, glycine seems to be co-released with GABA, the main inhibitory amino acid neurotransmitter. In addition, glycine modulates excitatory neurotransmission by potentiating the action of glutamate at N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors.

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 magnesium had neuro-inhibitory effect. Supplementation with gelatin might be worth trying for you. https://www.google.com/search?q=glycine%20in%20gelatin I put collagen hydrolysate in my coffee and I think it's pretty great.

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" match the games that were finished.

Why would that be a consideration?
We'd all hope so, but in practice it only depends on the board of Rubin's company and their goals.

Agreed. grossly incompetent

...
> Compile times with Rust are Not Great. This is easily my single biggest gripe about Rust right now. The build for A Snake’s Tale takes 15+ seconds, which makes iterating rather tedious. The current incremental compiler work also doesn’t seem to make the build for A Snake’s Tale’s codebase any faster.
