>I received a confirmation that said, “Your personal information and items associated with your account have now been deleted. This action is permanent and cannot be reversed.”
By the same logic, wasn't this first email self-contradicting? If your data is gone, how are they emailing you to tell you that your data is gone?
But really, aren't companies legally required to retain a lot of information anyway? Such as invoices needed for tax purposes?
>And for those who might be quick to point out that there could be a dearth of jobs there, note that when people say “there are no jobs” in a given area, they generally mean that there are no jobs that could produce a normal, upper-middle-class lifestyle there. Which, even in Massena and Ogdensburg isn’t entirely true. But even if it were, the Stewart’s gas stations in both towns are actively hiring part-time cashiers at $17/hr. These places will let you work just one day a week if you like, and seem to be pretty good about flexible hours. In this case, you could work just one ten-hour shift per week, and in so doing, earn more than 30% of what you need to live well at this particular house with just four days of work per month.
Very cool. I can definitely see this being useful for me in the future.
I made a similar tool which simply outputs the exact HTTP request as received by the server. It's useful to test how the client is mangling URLs or packing request body data. It was actually not so easy to implement, as basically every production web-server mangles the request before making it available. So I wrote it from scratch in C.
For there to be infringement, someone needs to prove that copying took place. Because of the algorithm these musicians used to generate this, they can prove mathematically that copying did not take place.
I wrote for them too. My book was published last May.
I made a similar workflow to you. I wrote using vim and markdown, then used pandoc to convert to HTML. I then wrote some scripts to mangle the HTML to something more compatible with Packt's system (adds some class names and the like).
Regarding sales, they send me royalty statements for each quarter about 3 months after the quarter's end. For example, my book was released in May. I didn't get my first statement until the end of September. My last statement is dated Dec 31st, and it covers July-September 2019.
You can also setup an Amazon author account and get Amazon sales numbers much more quickly. Just go to https://authorcentral.amazon.com/ and create an account. You'll then have to verify that you're the author of your book, but it's pretty straight forward.
I've been a Twilio customer for a long time. They don't allow you to spoof caller ID. You can only set outgoing caller ID to a real number that you own or have access to.
How do you know it's reliable? In my experience, Google Alerts misses a lot of mentions on HN and Reddit.
I would challenge you to try an alternative (like https://f5bot.com/) for a week. You may be surprised at how many more hits it gets over Google Alerts.
It's apples and oranges really. I would say that it's easier to use recursive descent to parse a full programming language though.
Shunting yard works very well if you want to parse math expressions into postfix notation. It is then really easy to run postfix notation into bytecode on a stack-based virtual machine.
For comparison, here is a shunting yard based math expression evaluator in Javascript that I wrote before writing TinyExpr: https://github.com/codeplea/rimath
