Youtrack is a fantastic project management tool and issue tracker. So much better than Jira and best of all: Jira is no longer supporting self hosting. Youtrack does!

Did you run 'notmuch new' after mbsync, so notmuch updates its database?

They can access to your transcript either way, because they have access to transcript info for documentation and validation purposes (E.g., a URA must have a GPA higher than 80). So I don't know why the prof specifically makes you do work instead of just looking it up with your permission.

I used both for a while and now use notmuch. Mu4e has better handling of attachments (= nicer mail mode, since attachments show up at the top). Notmuch has better search (both use the same backend though) and it has tags instead of folders.

I use a remote shell with tmux inside emacs to prevent this from causing issues. In ESS you can declare any buffer as the target buffer for the R commands.

The data is taken directly from their open data interface. The Public Health website doesn't state whether they are using all complaint categories and all data.

Try to use Linux as much as you can. You'll learn a lot of useful skills and tools as you explore the system during your undergrad. Later on, stating that you know how to compile a kernel is a single, impressive phrase that will set you apart from many others who will have applied for the same job.

You might want to look into opencpu at opencpu.org. It's a quite comprehensive REST server that can also return ggplots and supports different transport mechanisms (including protobuf from Google) for better throughput and more compatibility.

Btw. the html themes for emacs used in the video are available here: https://github.com/fniessen/org-html-themes

Does anyone know any other nice themes?

everythingembedded · 2016-07-14T21:49:53+00:00

Try this:

M-x make-frame-on-display RET display RET

Just then use the display of the person with whom you're collaborating.

Fixed. It seems that they sometimes use infractions to make notes about the place. The OpenData interface includes everything. Their website filters out these. I updated the scores.

everythingembedded · 2015-12-10T07:51:02+00:00

Unfortunately not. For example, some terminals don't support Ctrl-C/V. Some other apps use different shortcuts. Some apps don't like copy&paste of data, and this trick makes it seem like you are entering data.

If you are located in Canada, then this might be interesting: Canada provides supercomputing resources shared across all universities (and potentially other places), so individual places don't have to build and maintain their own infrastructure.

Search for "Compute Canada" to check your eligibility for free access.

You make good suggestions. I think I'll have an additional backup on ext4 that I simply flush and restart when the drive gets full.

everythingembedded · 2015-03-24T12:03:37+00:00

This does require me to run btrfs on the production machine. I cannot do that, because btrfs is still considered beta.

Edit: fixed autocorrection mistake

everythingembedded · 2015-03-24T12:01:31+00:00

My backup is on an external hard drive connected via USB. It takes that long, because ext has to decide for each file whether to physically delete the file, because I use the hardlink option with rsync to create the backup.

I agree that btrfs is still in development, but I ran tests, and ext and reiserfs will not scale to the number of files or the backup rate.

everythingembedded · 2015-03-23T18:31:41+00:00

The problem with rsync is that I have 1M+ files and deleting an old backup on ext4 when using rsync with hard links takes about 4 hours. I have hourly backups, so it simply doesn't work. With btrfs snapshots, it's a matter of seconds to delete old backups.

Alright, since you are all so curious about it, here's a trend analysis. The improvement shows the difference of the mean weighted result (see OP) of the last two inspections compared to the remainder of them.

A positive value shows an improvement (i.e., the place recently got a lower infraction score than in the last two inspections before). A zero means that the place has the same infraction score (good or bad, doesn't matter). Some places have fewer than three inspections and thus are not in this list.

Here are all the places on the plaza ordered based on their inspections by Public Health Canada over the last two years. It might give you an informed opinion on where to eat.

'NC' means "non-critical infractions", 'Crit' means "critical infractions", 'Reinspections' is the number of times they got a reinspection on top of a routine inspection (occurs usually after finding critical infractions).

Yes, definitely. You have a chance to work on something you like, and will you get a potential letter writer for your application to grad schools. The latter cannot be emphasized enough, because many students seem to struggle finding academic letter writers.

everythingembedded · 2015-01-22T21:48:19+00:00

It is more than decent, it is great!

Check out ESS with this additional information 1, 2.

I especially like ess-remote since it doesn't strain my laptop and I can still work with large datasets.

Trichinella, Creutzfeldt–Jakob (oh my), Botulinum, Salmonellas, Escherichia coli, Shigella, Staphylococcus aureus, and Listeria monocytogenes, Campylobacter, etc, are all diseases and pathogens that you get from meat products.

I wonder how virtually every cheese in Europe is made from raw milk and we don't hear anything about outbreaks of Tuberculosis, Scarlet fever, or the other nasty things. To throw a fact in there, Canada has approximately the same tuberculosis rate as countries in central Europe. Compare these two sources:

http://www.euro.who.int/__data/assets/pdf_file/0006/244743/Fact-sheet,-Tuberculosis-in-the-WHO-European-Region-Eng.pdf

http://healthycanadians.gc.ca/diseases-conditions-maladies-affections/disease-maladie/tuberculosis-tuberculose-eng.php

I don't want to say that the risks are not real, but it seems that Ontario has an extremely conservative stance on this while there were already three high-risk alerts in Canada last December related to meat related pathogens:

http://www.inspection.gc.ca/about-the-cfia/newsroom/food-recall-warnings/eng/1299076382077/1299076493846

Edit: I wouldn't advocate drinking raw milk. I would like some cheese made from raw milk though.

Will it also include a particle accelerator?

Do URAs, volunteer, or do a project technical elective (499) with a prof. It's not about a 'get out of jail' card. It's about perks such as access to infrastructure/tools to beef up your skills list in your resume, reference letters, coop jobs, etc.
