Kind of seems odd, given that you can never have 0% efficacy (unless your vaccine somehow caused every vaccinated person to get the disease instead of a non-vaccinated person). It seems like you're wasting half your "spread",

Per dollar? Or per watt?

That's a good bubble to be in. I very often happen upon subtitles that need an offset, a constant multiplier because they run out of sync, and sometimes have a gap somewhere. It's very annoying, and I'm glad there's so

Looks like it's language-agnostic (or at least ALASS is).

This is magic, how is this done? This is amazing, desynced subtitles are the bane of my existence, if this tool can fix that this day will get even better. EDIT: Here's how it's done: https://github.com/kaegi/

Oh that bakery has a gimmick where they throw a loaf of bread at your face when you enter.

I've always thought that was a marketing trick. After all, how could all the bandwidth and development time and resources I was using only cost $1/yr? However, now that I know how lean the team that built WhatsApp was, the math do

I think pretty much everyone who does A/V production (and some people who don't, like me) would be interested in such a guide. Please do write it!

Can you blame tobacco companies for making something so addictive and harmful? It seems like we can and do.

Sure, I agree with that. More libraries supporting types would be great. I don't know why they don't, it's not like they need to support any Python versions that don't support types... I guess most just haven't gott
914.
by StavrosK 6y ago
But you don't need the libraries to have type annotations for them to be useful to you. You can use the libraries' classes as types, and type signatures are already very useful even if you only use them in your code. I agree tha

I work in web development, Django moved to 3 exclusively versions ago, and I drop support for Python 2 pretty easily in the libraries I maintain. numpy requires at least 3.7, same for pandas, and sklearn is at least 3.6. When you say "

I've only heard this "stuck on Python 2" FUD from non-Python programmers, you may want to get your arguments with the times.

I had to read that paragraph four times, trying to see who the second person I missed was. It turns out the author doesn't want to mention Matt's gender, which is very confusing to me. She definitely didn't go for clarity her

This is offtopic, but I found it very endearing that you used the verb "take", as if you need (or can) take someone somewhere to watch a movie.

I don't understand the analogy. Why would I give the requirements for making a website to someone who doesn't make websites? The government should do whatever anyone who wants a website does, hire someone to make a website. What&#

The projects that don't use it probably need to maintain compatibility with Python 2, for whatever reason. I expect that more and more codebases will be at least somewhat typed as Python 2 is deprecated everywhere.

Yeah, the only Bitcoin millionaires I know of are the ones who can no longer access their coins.

I had a bunch of BTC back in 2010 or so. I always used it, my rationale being "I want a future in which we use cryptocurrency, and using it is the way to help bring that future about". Unfortunately, that wasn't enough, and i

If you need to prepare for Black Swan events, doesn't it make sense to have your own channel to distribute APKs to all devices? Why would you rely on the Play Store at all?

I don't have 100% accuracy with the symbols in the numbers (except the parentheses), but am pretty good with them. Nowadays I've remapped the parentheses to left/right shift and the brackets to Tab+hjkl, so it's much eas
