At one point, I was making todo lists that included:

- things so easy they were guaranteed to be completed - things that I may or may not complete - things so impossible they were guaranteed NOT to be completed

This meant that every day I would defininitely finish some but not all of my list. This helped with getting started and also not beating myself up about the things I didn't accomplish.

Sorta. In most browsers you can manually delete the HSTS property on a per-domain basis. Presumably, anyone doing this knows the risks.

I don't see the DevOps Engineer role listed on the positions page. Are you still looking to hire for that one?

If authentication is cookie-based, you can use a Session object in python requests: http://docs.python-requests.org/en/master/user/advanced/#ses....

If it uses http basic auth, it's even easier: http://docs.python-requests.org/en/master/user/authenticatio...

Requests is a fantastic library.

It's not an excerpt, it's a new article (by someone else) that is partially about McPhee.

I'm not 100%, but I think this has to do with a Hangouts setting: "Show when you were last active". If that is unchecked, it means that some users (some clients?) will always show you as offline.

It seems like they are using a non-standard netstat switch:

  $ netstat -ep4ln --udp

Is that '4' a typo or something?

I like this! I've been thinking for a while that laws should be writter by game theorists, but I see that designers can be involved too.

> Mere awareness of a transaction is too much friction when you're talking about fractions of a cent. Counting half-pennies is just not worth my time (ironically, half a penny is in the same ballpark of current advertising rates).

Couldn't this be solved with some kind of automation? It would take some standardization but what if clicking the ubiquitous "like" button on a piece of content sent a configurable amount of btc to the content creator?

For me, Beeradvocate integration would be a huge improvement over Ratebeer.

Hmm. Big O already encompasses "at worst".

Theta is the notation for a single case, be it the worst case, the best case, one run of a randomized algo, etc.

At least that is my understanding.

> But to be more specific we could say this is worst case O(n) and best case O(1) runtime.

Those should really say θ(n) and θ(1).
