This only solves the smoking problem (not a small problem), but I suggest reading Alan Carr’s ‘The Only Way to Stop Smoking Permanently’. I’m not normally big on self-help books, but please bear with me. The book mainly covers tobacco smoki

I’m still quite new to neural networks. Can you explain the material benefit to using a neural network over a priority queue with a similar weighting system? Are you giving any other input to the neural network than simply the metrics you l

This is actually a general feature of the GNU readline library, which a lot of programmes including bash use. For instance, a lot of REPLs like ghci use it. https://linux.die.net/man/3/readline https://

Note that your terminal emulator needs to pass the ctrl+S through. ctrl+S won’t work by default in a lot of cases from personal experience.

My point is that such discussions are subjective, inconsequential and also irrelevant to the topic. Most commenters on HN would mention the ‘tangential/orthogonal’ nature of a similarly irrelevant comment. The Turkish language has no i

I wonder what proportion of replies to comments on forums right now revolves around the usage of language in regard to subjective views over identity, as opposed to the actual content of the comment. I don’t support linguistic prescription

They should add another button to indicate sensitivity to such passive aggressive buttons. It should redirect to disney.com.

Do they use the term dielectric to mean non-conductive — I’m aware that they’re not equivalent — or does the dielectric nature of the material have any relevance to the device? Maybe it’s relevant to the working of the gate?

I’ve found that a majority of people who use vi(m) and profess to hate Emacs because of the complexity of its shortcuts also spend their whole time in insert mode, using only the arrow keys for movement, leading me to think that these peopl

But electrons can still pass through perfect vacuums. Whether or not a vacuum conducts (obviously it doesn’t) is irrelevant.

That is correct. The dielectric ‘conducts’ an electric field, which attracts and repels electrons on the opposing plates.

Do you know why it makes sense to construct these devices on dielectric surfaces as opposed to other non-conductive surfaces?

Could you maybe do away with training beforehand on a single source and instead use multiple, very sensitive microphones and triangulate the locations of the keys being pressed? The estimations might not be accurate, but you could put the r

I really don’t think we’d be missing much if these websites were shut down. In fact, it might be a good thing.

Thanks for linking the video. I completely agree with that mindset. I’m really not sure what to say regarding the love, though. I’ll leave it here.

That’s true, actually. I didn’t read the reply properly. It makes complete sense to ban updates if you want to have access to historical names.

From what I’ve read of Jordan Peterson, he seems like a reasonable guy on many topics, but I don’t agree with Darwinian Truth. The only truth is what I experience. Everything outside of that is a game of language, including Jordan Peterson’

texinfo is the official documentation format of the GNU project. It is standardised, ubiquitous, allows cross-referencing and version control, and provides all the semantics you might need. It allows you to render into multiple formats. h

What does it actually mean to say that all the universe is love, and that everything has love in it? Is this more a way in which he is choosing to view things, or an actual statement of fact?

There has never been anything stopping you from running binaries compiled from any language (including Haskell) on Lambdas. They run Linux after all. See serverless-haskell (link at bottom) for defining serverless Haskell functions. serverl

In 2013 I left Facebook. I decided who I wanted to stay in contact with and sent a message to each one explaining that I was leaving. I asked them to email me if they wanted to stay in contact. I am still in contact with every person I want
