Thx! I had always thought it was the other way around.

I'm pretty sure they mean Lake Ontario. It's been a while since I've been there. But I believe the water falls from Lake Ontario into Lake Eerie.

I think the distinction is, the Dr orders the x-rays from a place they have a relationship with and waiting for it, vs, you bringing x-rays from some unknown source.

I work at Rescale https://rescale.com/company/careers/. The impact we are providing is one of the main reasons I work there.

OP was referring to pedestrian/bike paths. I believe everyone should stay on the right. I agree, with car traffic, pedestrians should be on the left.

This is correct. I do cardio 10-15 hours/week and have to count my calories so I don't gain weight.

This is seen in practice. The yellow pages were?(are?) alphabetical, which is why you see so many business that start with the letter A.
Re:Linux touchpad like a MacBook Pro, May 2020 update

Am I the only one who prefers the red nubs on on Thinkpads? I find it very hard to use any touchpads. When I used a mac, I would carry around a mouse. I wish thinkpads would get rid of the touchpad. I'm perfectly happy with just using the nub.
Re:Remote Work Report
on Monday April 20, 2020 @05:09PM (#22928600)
No need to be thrifty. I live not too far from the Iowa border in a relatively small MN town. I work remote for a company based in SF and know I make a percentage less than the senior engineers that live out there. If I had to guess, I would guess I make about a junior developers salary. That salary goes a long way here. There are very few senior engineering positions that will match what I'm making, but the culture is not the same. I'm maxing out retirement accounts, 401k's, HSA's, Roth IRA's and I'll have a paid of house by the end of the year.

> Remember, you're no longer a long term investor, you can't ride out ups and downs, you have to keep paying the bills during down periods, excaberating your losses
I don't know about you, but most people in my social circle intend to retire between 55-60 and that leaves 25-30 years of retirement, so definitely still in the long term investing range.
When I retire, I don't plan to adjust my investments until I get past 80.
Re:DynamoDB cannot store empty strings
on Wednesday December 14, 2016 @09:58AM (#13176366)
Correct, our read/write access isn't spread out. So, before knowing how the partitions worked, we increased our read/write throughput, this caused the partitions to increase, so now our throughput that was spread out across the entire table, was split between 2 partitions. This caused even more throttling.
Re:DynamoDB cannot store empty strings

The reasons we use it
* doesn't require any setup (no provision servers, maintining backups, etc)
* automatic backups
* practically free during development
* scales when you need it too
That said, we've run into issues with the partitioning. If we were given access to the partition information and the ability to reduce partitions when needed, that would solve those problems.
Re:Fasting triggers stem cell regeneration of damaged, old immune syst...

After seeing this article the first time, I decided to try the 3 day fast as well. I too continued my normal morning 3 mile runs and noticed that if I couldn't push the pace for very long. I'm just an anecdote, but my immune system seems to be stronger this winter. With two little ones who've been sick a couple of times and a wife that had the flu, I've been able to get by with just minimal congestion.

If the image resolution software isn't good enough, and there's a lot of images, you could mechanical turk it using the reverse site. Show on image and have the user click on the finger (or none).

Then you choose another open source offering or fork nginx and start implementing the features it's missing.
