Also most advanced IDE's do this better and lot more to troubleshoot/debug.

Thanks for the explanation. And no worries. I was only mildly surprised it was on one direction. Now I know why.

Did not know about this. Seems awesome tool to work for next project. Thanks.

A bit surprised to see there is no mention of Liquibase, Flyway or others. Not to mention there is also "https://www.dolthub.com/". This was just for git.

Interesting. Can you please expand more on "ortho-k"? Where can I read more about it?

Looks like access denied? Good work!

Another thing I had experienced before was a document picture I used after downsizing to mandatory upload size had a character/number randomly changed (6 to b or d). Don't remember which exactly and had to convert the doc to PDF that managed it better.

Interesting to read the "dice rolling" part.

investigating dice rolling patterns A friend showed me a dice rolling game where you roll a bunch of dice and add up the values. I mentioned that if you roll enough dice and add up all the values, at some point it gets a lot less “random”.

And result turned out "true"? Rolled a die for 2500 times and the sum is all around 8500! I wonder what would be the results for 25/250 times? So, this is sum(expectations).. and for rolling a die, it is 3.5 [(1+2+3+4+5+6)/6 => 21/6], so the answer was 3.5 x 2500 = 8750. Should hold good for all numbers relatively large.

Thank you. That make sense now.

I am confused how this works. I would assume `SECONDS` would just be a shell variable and it was first assigned `0` and then it should stay same, why did it keep counting the seconds?

    > SECONDS
    bash: SECONDS: command not found
    > SECONDS=0; sleep 5; echo $SECONDS;
    5
    > echo "Your command completed after $SECONDS seconds";
    Your command completed after 41 seconds
    > echo "Your command completed after $SECONDS seconds";
    Your command completed after 51 seconds
    > echo "Your command completed after $SECONDS seconds";
    Your command completed after 53 seconds

Trias shared one story that karate had been born in a monastery in China, where a wandering Indian master named Bodhidharma noticed that sedentary monks were growing sickly and devised the martial art to cultivate their strength.

Interesting to see there is no mention of "kalaripayattu". Kalari as its famously shorten [1] have about 2000 years of history and is used with both weapons and no-weapons. Bodhidharma was said to have left from then Tamil states to China.

So the new ones are? Interesting.

John Conway loss will live in my memory for sometime, just like loosing John Nash on a car accident. Their contribution to math will outlive everything else.

And Tamil have long tradition of resisting Sanskirt influence. With elaborate grammar rules dictating if you must use loan words when, where and how to use them. It is more true for literary setting and never true for day-today speaking. Also, Tamil words also made into Sanskrit, don't know what it means. Languages are basically for interchanging ideas. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I have many friends who speak Sourashtra. It is always exciting and interesting to see how much they love their language and want to keep it in day-today interaction in house hold. I think any language that is spoken in kitchen and in dining table will survive long. Sourashtra will to!

Fortunately, there are Tamil poems written around 200 CE that are still readable and understandable by native speaker. Tamil poems follow strict grammar and structural rules for poems, so they don't change over time (see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venpa).

Here is poem that speaks about children being joyous, and how they playfully eat food. A simple ordeal in everyday life. Its about 7 lines and everyday speaker still understands all of it.

Malayalam split from Tamil around 1000 CE. When I said you might need some expertise and training to read old Tamil scripts, I mean this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWIs17rSCg0&list=PLAU5iw78o0.... The video has closed captions if it is difficult to follow. Hope it helps.

Written Tamil have continuously evolved all along, the recent being around 1950 when printing became prevalent. The language itself changed very little, however only written letters survive and to know what was written 1000 years before you need some training.

Expert opinions might be different. Hope I am getting some information.

Written scripts have used to change all over time. It is not possible to read at the get go, but after some practice, yes, any one can read old Tamil. Given that about ~55% [1] of written inscription are from Tamil, it is one of the proficient.

How do you measure the language change [2]? There are several approaches, the one I remember reading about is, you fetch the most basic kernel of a language, like very simple key words (like relations, food, feelings and so on) for about 100 words and then see how many of those words have changed since say last 10 years, last 50 years and 100 years and so on. You try going back as long as you can and you loose few words from 100 words you started, that's you delta.

There used to be equally enjoyable and intriguing, the world's longest bus trip, from London (UK) to Calcutta (India) in mid 1970s. It appears there was quite a bit of fanfare for it. People used to take the bus and then ship to Australia then on.

I am trying to use linking in one of the columns. Looks like using links breaks the table. Any idea if linking column data is supported out of box?

I am not a full blown Javascript developer (backend developer here), but had been using JS and other frameworks for about 10 years now. I subscribed to Dan Abramav's "Just Javascript" [1] email. It is really good to read/follow and has one concept and idea explained well.

I used to take cold showers when I was in moderate temperature zone, now I am in US/Canada, and recently started having cold showers (for the last 2 months) almost after 10 years.

I agree to all of the things you said, once you get used to the cold showers, in fact you would want more and more cold water running over you. More cold will get to be fine.

However, one thing I find annoyingly bad, given the time of the year is that I feel by body warmer (and feel that I might run a fever) and had to check temperature couple of times to see it is only normal. Not sure if this is going to be a long term thing or I might get used to it eventually.

Interestingly, `soundex` is bundled along with the standard functions in most commercial software. In one of my first search function I wrote, I used `soundex` to run against previous search words and suggest a known search word as 'did you mean?' to catch the spelling errors. This is around 2008-2010, and was an easy way out of what Google search was doing at that time. It was quite useful.

Exactly! There is also a term "kaai-kari" meaning vegetable dry side dish for a main course. Kari as a term is as old as pepper. Any dish that had pepper used to be called as kari (see [1])

Tamil has the largest users in internet[1]. It does enjoy the highest adoption.

Back in 2006, I studied Prolong in my college as a pre-up course for A.I. From my experience then, Prolog was easy for programming small tasks. I ended up building a card game with some intelligence as a final project. Even then, I spent most of the time designing cards to show up in console than time on actual coding for game play/intelligence.

It could be fun to retry Prolog now.

And then they also do explicitly with: Google Opinion Rewards (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.and...). The app does ask questions based on location, search terms, YT videos and others, that DO get pretty personal.

True. And there could be many more ridiculously simple problems with hard or no applications (at least for now) we may not be able to solve or progress at all. Math as we know and practice might still fall short. I, for one, be happy that simple to state but solved, Godel's Incompleteness theorem, about the imperfection of the tools, had set the things firmly on stone.

Solving them or progress? May be I don't care, but these little problem, simple ones does encourage one to start thinking about solving problems, they make math accessible to masses.

From the past, we had Fermat's Last Theorem. Looking for ones that are not solved yet? How about "Collatz conjecture "? I think there are more complex ones, but yeah, not so simple to explain.

I got reminded for Dharma initiative from Lost. It has quite a fan following off screen.
