By leaving out scale or prior models they are effectively manipulating improvement. If from 3 to 4 it was from 10 to 80, and from 4 to 4o it was 80 to 82, leaving out 3 would let us see a steep line instead of steep decrease of growth.

Lies, damn lies and statistics ;-)

Light is the opposite of hard (ie hard close). It makes more sense (to me!) to use explicit vs implicit close? Clicking outside the popover means an implicit close.

New comment by bartkappenburg in "A practical introduction to constraint programming using CP-SAT and Python"

bartkappenburg — Wed, 03 Jul 2024 18:52:46 +0000

I used a lot of solvers in the early 2000s in my Operations Research master after my econometrics study. While now working on software (web) that uses python I’m thrilled to see these deep dives on this subject!

I love the subject and reading this brought back a lot of memories. Also the realization that translating constraints to a model (variables, structure etc) is 90% of the work and the most difficult part.

bartkappenburg — Wed, 29 May 2024 17:46:16 +0000

I’m following /r/stripe and there are more horror stories over there. If you read carefully and between the lines it is often pretty logical that a ban/freeze is given (shady business, 35k per day within a week, etc)

The good thing is that Stripe is also monitoring that subreddit. And they often reply and mention heretohelp@stripe.com as a quick and easy way to get someone to speak to you. Maybe you can try that next time?

Happy 10+ years customer of theirs btw!
