This Weird Al song captures this perfectly - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GyV_UG60dD4


Professional finance. Trying to understand what all the terms like hedge fund, financial instruments etc. mean.


This is a typical greedy algorithm train of thought. Ignoring long term issues in favor of immediate short term feel-good solutions. How you can bring up Indian road maintenance methods as a standard bearer for good / positive policy is beyond me. This just leads to roads not getting fixed and the laborers stretching out the repair "job" as long as possible, which in most cases, is a very long time. By using these terrible and inefficient methods, the nation as a whole suffers, including the laborers. Of course, that loss is not immediately observable, and hence gets brushed under the carpet. If instead, the resources that are wasted on inefficiencies ends up channeled better, maybe not this exact generation, but hopefully the next generation of the same economic class could have a better shot at education and/or a better life.

Your line "I hear these objections, but I still stand by my assertion" reminds me of the saying (translated to English) - "100 out of 80 (sic) people are cheats, yet my India is great"


Interesting... I don't live in India, I'm born and raised in the US and live in Colorado.

I don't actually think that India is great, either. But thanks for guessing.

There are obvious problems either way... but to look at another commenter who posted the Voltaire quote, that is more along the lines of my thinking.


Nice post! Support your 52 week challenge!


Thanks! It's a bit of a struggle at times, but I'm learning a TON!


True. I was thinking about a tool that would give you a list of regexes, ranked by some factor that aims to get at the regex pattern that'll be useful. For example, if I gave it, [name@email.com, name2@something.com] it would give all kinds of regex patterns, but ideally point to [a-z]@[a-z].com


I think you need to consider more specifically what you want. Another possible regex would be /name2?@(?:som)?e(mail|thing)\.com/ or even /(name@email\.com|name2@something.com)/

hey! good point - I felt the same so amy trying to create a template website that would make polished app pages easy for mobile developers! hope to share the beta with you soon!


Sweet though I'm not a mobile dev.


Jeez that's such a confusing name to pick. NIME (http://www.nime.org/) is an annual conference in music tech!


One of my professors had once told me that the people handling cutting edge technology in every era were inevitably into music, and that's why music tech has always sat at the cutting edge of tech. Still remember that, 2 years on!


jordan rudess of dream theater is really into the seaboard


He's into everything that has an endorsement deal attached, to the point that he's become a bit of a punchline in electronic music circles.


what do you think of the flowbee?
