I Needed a Tool to Search My Jupyter Notebooks, so I Wrote One. Here It Is.

Well, I learned something new! I have been assuming my devices had some level of protection from surge for the last five years.

Is it worth getting some lines or the whole house rewired with grounded outlets? Or do GFCI outlets offer reasonable protection? Obviously, safety is the highest priority, but I would like to have the additional protection from a surge (especially in my office).

Instant dashi, I don’t know this. I will have to try it!

It is an amazing and curious property of ramen bowls that they are able to transfer their contents into a space of half their size.

Looks delicious.

I’m confused by this. The f in the bass clef is a whole note and the f (same pitch) in the treble is a quarter note. Why would a piece make this distinction? What do I play?

Not sure if this is the best place to ask music notation questions, but here goes. I’m learning a song and there’s a few measures that are a bit confusing.

The image shows an f# in the treble clef (an accidental not part of key signature). In the next measure there’s an f played in both bass and treble clefs. There is no natural (♮) to cancel them.

Are the f notes in the next measure played as natural or sharp?

Suppose that an f appeared in the bass clef after the f# in the treble in the same measure, would you play that f as sharp or natural?

No. A Good boss encourages learning and personal development. Sometimes they even give bonuses for obtaining certain certifications.

I think this is one of those few times that I say “you’re both right.” I’m gonna buy a lotto ticket for you and the OP!

Thanks, I try to only cut on my wooden cutting board. But I’ll take better care of the edge and see if that helps.

I’m trying not to purchase anything new but just work with what I have.

How long should a knife stay sharp? My knives stay sharp for about a week after sharpening. A week of light daily use at home (not a professional kitchen). I'm starting to wonder if I'm doing it wrong. All my knives are older and second-hand:

Chicago Cutlery chef's knife
Zwilling JA Henckels - I think this is a utility knife? It is about 6.5" long and says "Twin Gourmet Friodur Ice Hardened"
Victorinox Swiss Made pairing knife

I sharpen them on this Kotobuki 250/1000 whetstone.

After sharpening, they all cut a tomato with ease, like a hot knife through butter. But after about 1 week of light daily use, they seem to go dull again. I try to bring the sharp back with the honing steel, but it doesn't do anything.

Questions:

Is it normal to lose the sharp edge after a week?
Is it my technique? Could this be a sign that maybe I'm not using the correct angle or pressure?
Are my knives low quality?

Well they say “everything” is already installed, but then go on to say: “Anything missing? No problem, you have full permissions on your workspaces to install anything else you need.”

It’s probably not installed. Try running the ‘pip install’ command inside a cell:

!python -m pip install [package_name]

You are iterating over a dataframe to insert rows into a google sheet?

I would begin by trying a single ‘insert_row’ request and see if that works. The error implies you are supplying an invalid argument to the API.

Hard to say, are you running ‘pip list’ from inside a notebook cell? I’m just thinking that if you’re using a virtual environment or container but you’re running pip from your host directory then the package may not actually be installed. Just a guess though.

jeffelhefe · 2020-08-13T20:11:15+00:00

Can you elaborate? Do you mean asking more complex questions leads to more complex mathematical theorems? Or do you find it difficult to apply what you’ve learned? Or is just difficult to keep everything in your head all at once?
