CSV could be much easier to parse if people use the ASCII codes meant to be used as field and line separators, thus avoiding having problems with commas.

Get some adventure in your life!

We and all the matter around us is only energy. Mass is energy in a very low frequency. Practice hypnotism or meditation and you'll change your life for the better.

Yeah, and soon the stock markets will collapse too..

I had an account with them some months ago, but their system is like shit. Completely shit. When I was long, the balance showed the opposite, when the market was against me my position improved and vice-versa. This had all the bad consequences that one can imagine, as I couldn't close some positions because supposedly there were no funds for that, when in fact, there were.

They need a system fix, I really don't trust them.

Don't sell it. Use it to become a billionaire!

There's also keychain https://github.com/levaidaniel/kc Open it with a master password, copy passwords from it or save new entries. You can have the single file database in a shared service like Dropbox and use it from any computer.

Buy an insurance in another country. If you have a big health problem (meaning many $$$), go there, make some tourism, get treated, and everything will be cheaper than what you would pay in the US.

Better yet, find the way to not have any disease. Physical diseases are the last consequence of energy imbalances in your being, be them emotional or spiritual.

Clearly, to me, you need to find the purpose of your life here on Earth. There are people that may help you, although you have to choose carefully. Not psychiatrists or anything like that. Look for indigo people that have a "highway" connection to the Universe, that came to show the way to others. Read and practice about meditation and spirituality.

It'd be interesting to compare it with red-lang.org Parse DSL.

I compared the time it takes to run both scripts, with 10000000 iteration. 1m32s for the Python version and only 29s for the J's.

If an algorithm is parallelizable, does J use all cores of a CPU?

For swap, instead of using a partition for it, you can have a file, or several files of swap in your root partition. This way, the swap files will be handled as other file, and TRIM can do its job.

Can you please elaborate what are the advantages of such configuration?

I use rsnapshot [1] for /home data and afio [2] for other stuff (offline databases, system, photos, ...)

With rsnapshot, I have hourly, daily, weekly and monthly backups that use hard links for the saving disk space. These backup dirs can be mounted read-only.

With afio, files above some defined size are compressed and then added to the archive, so that if some compression goes wrong, only that file may be lost, the archive is not corrupted. Can have incremental backups.

From the afio webpage: Afio makes cpio-format archives. It deals somewhat gracefully with input data corruption, supports multi-volume archives during interactive operation, and can make compressed archives that are much safer than compressed tar or cpio archives. Afio is best used as an `archive engine' in a backup script.

Maybe someone could use the blockchain to issue some kind of ISBN numbers...

+1 for Gruvbox. The best I know for me.

Hi LyndsySimon, I read your post in another topic where you said that you were loosing weight by eating a ketonic diet. Got curious, followed your profile and arrived here, just to tell you two things. One that I can see that you're thinking different, and I congratulate you for this, as it's not easy to do so. Second, that regarding religions you can perhaps take a step ahead, too. God is universal. Religions are man made and serve to divide. You may be interested in a six book volume set that really enlightened me: https://www.amazon.com/Life-Teaching-Masters-East-Volume/dp/.... Please read the comments. ;-)

Check the progress in https://trello.com/c/UgsrhiHf/143-macosx-gui-backend 107 out of 120 tasks for OSX GUI backend are already completed.

Try Red (www.red-lang.org)! It's not version 1.0 yet, GUI for OSX and Python is coming, for Windows and Android has already arrived. Small, light, great.

You haven't heard about Red (http://www.red-lang.org), have you? With some Kb you can ship GUI executables for Windows, Android, OSX and Linux. (OSX and Linux soon).

Try it and report back the amount of Kb (not Mb) used.

I'm also looking to learn a Lisp, maybe Clojure, maybe some scheme. Clojure for me has a big drawback (and also an advantage) to run in a highly complex system, at least as I perceive it, as I've never done anything in Java. What does one need to learn from Java world to program in Clojure?

I understand perfectly what you say about the hacks with procedural languages. There's why I'm going for a functional language soon.

Do you use a common SQL databse with Clojure or did you go the full route with Datomic? Do you use Clojure for desktop apps? For mobile apps? Or just back-end stuff?

See the documentary 'The Wall Street Code' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hw3XtscVCVI AFAICR one of the protagonists (Haim Bodek) said his company had one million lines of C (or mainly C) code for HFT trading.

Have you checked Rebol and Red? Maybe not. http://www.red-lang.org/

It would be nice to include some Lisp implementations, like Picolisp and Newlisp.

As in everything, to understand the logic of drug prohibition, we have to follow the money. The money goes out of:

1. everyone taking drugs that have money to buy them

2. from their families

3. from everyone else in the society, as people are robbed by addicted people that could not afford to buy the drugs by themselves.

The drug money is distributed along a stair of levels which end in a few people earning a lot of the money of society. These people have the power to influence politicians, the media, etc, to keep drugs prohibited. Why? Because when something is prohibited the price of goods is higher. If it was allowed a free market for drugs (as there is for wine, beer and other beverages) the price of drugs would drop significantly. And guess what? This is no good for the drug lords, neither for politicians and other who benefit from the status quo.

In Portugal half was done. Half remains to be done. Still, a good initiative.

I would consider Unicage for your demands. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_C5GBblkH8 https://www.bsdcan.org/2013/schedule/attachments/244_Unicage...

In a shell (modified for speed and ease of use) get, insert, update data in a simple way, without all the fat from other mainstream (Java) solutions.

One more invite available for me? luislupe |at| gmail

I'm taking the Ocaml course and abandoned the one of F# from Edx/Microsoft that started a couple weeks ago. The Ocaml course is of much better quality in my opinion.

You can check Rebol http://www.rebol.com/ and the new Red http://www.red-lang.org/ programming languages. The latter one not yet production ready.

In Rebol (and Red) you can just do the following: print 3:30am + 00:07:19 ; increment time values properly

Note that ';' is the identifier for a comment.

You should check ML programming languages family, like Ocaml.
