Ezekiel 23:20 - "There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses."


Now that would make a great Bible verse bumper sticker


I don't know about embedding, but I've been happy with the Metabase UI for building these kinds of queries:

https://www.metabase.com/docs/latest/users-guide/custom-ques...


On occasion, I've fired up pandas just to sanitize a CSV file and drop malformed rows as preparation to bulk ingesting into a database:

  import pandas as pd
  pd.read_csv('bad_file.csv', error_bad_lines=False).to_csv('good_file.csv')
It's not efficient (reads everything into memory), but read_csv is robust when it comes to handling embedded unescaped quotes/commas/etc., and supports dropping rows with the incorrect number of columns due to anomalies it can't handle.


I would love to be able to search all code for a string and then either (1) sort the resulting repositories by stars/forks; or (2) limit the results to repositories with >X stars/forks. When learning a new framework or library I like to find popular projects that use it and read the code to get a sense of conventions, architecture, etc. For instance, it'd be fantastic to find all repositories with over 20 stars containing a *.py file with "import flask" or "from flask" in them.


all files ending with py with "import flask"

https://github.com/search?q=filename%3A%2A.py+%22import+flas...

use advanced search to specify stars:>20 etc.


Unfortunately, you can search code by file extension and phrase, and you can use advanced search to search for repository descriptions filtering by stars, but I don't believe you can do both at once.

For instance, searching for "flask" and limiting the results to >1000 stars returns only the 27 repositories with a matching description[0], but the code search returns over 4 million results, ignoring the stars parameter[1].

https://github.com/search?l=&q=flask+stars%3A%3E1000&ref=adv...

https://github.com/search?l=&q=flask+stars%3A%3E1000&ref=adv...


How would you build the search results UI for a grouped query like this? If one repository has 10k stars and has 1000 files with matching strings, should the first 1000 results be from the same repository?


In addition, I haven't seen the third step in the "Cue -> Habit -> Reward" cycle mentioned yet. While the Reward may be the lingering endorphin rush from a hard workout or the feeling of accomplishment after finishing a chore, the author also suggests a simple, pleasurable behavior after the task that you're trying to make a habit of (like a small piece of chocolate immediately after a run or allowing yourself a few shameless minutes of cat videos after a focused study session). The idea is to allow your mind to associate the pleasure response with the habit each time it encounters the cue.

Good point! I allow myself an Irn-Bru only on run days (and less than 10 miles doesn't count). I don't live in Scotland and Irn-Bru is particularly hard to find, which is part of the incentive. Gives me a sense of accomplishment anyway!


The author talks of a variable reward. The variability is importance because of monotony associated with a repeated reward.


Really, we need to be rethinking the legality of combination safes and deadbolt locks - they're being leveraged in terrorist operations as well.
