Obligatory Joel Grus: slides from his 'I don't like notebooks' talk. He has good follow-up talks too. https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1n2RlMdmv1p25Xy5thJUh...

Difference for me has been how hard it is to find a repair shop that has parts in stock and can turn around a repair quickly on a non-Galaxy/non-iPhone.

There are some people fighting the good fight for more disciplined metaheuristics research. Metaheurstics - the Metaphor Exposed is a nice read ( https://www.cs.ubc.ca/~hutter/EARG.shtml/stack/2013_Sorensen...

I don't know anything about web dev, so maybe it's a stupid question, but you still need javascript for the front end, right? You can't build the front and back end development completely in python?

Reproducing a deck I've seen before exactly makes no sense in limited. Maybe it's too different of an idea, but in I draft I absolutely evaluate (part of) my skill by how well I've reproduced important components of a good de

Oops, I wrote mtgtop8.com when I meant top8draft.com. Thought I could edit comments but I don't see a way now.

This is cool stuff. Have you checked out mtgtop8.com? Some code for it from back in Kaladesh: https://github.com/ivodopyanov/MTGML . I asked the dev a couple of years ago and he said he had a newer version, but it wasn&

I've been told that not knowing better is a typical reason (and another reply says so), but my anecdotal contribution is different. When I'm implementing algorithm, I'll typically be implementing something that uses single le

Music is a huge distraction while working. White noise or nothing. Some people on my team listen to podcasts while coding, and most of them were watching Cohen's testimony in the background on Wednesday. If they're not fooling the

For credit unions, Alliant and Lake Michigan Max Checking are both great. If you're outside of the Midwest, you can become eligible to join either with a donation.

Yeah. It's awful. They've been advertising on a pop culture podcast I listen to, with the host reading copy about how he buys stocks on Robin Hood. Seems irresponsible, especially for a podcast that isn't remotely related to

I really want a scooter, but I'm really afraid of how vulnerable it makes me. I walk and bus most places I go (in Seattle) and I've wondered how much more dangerous it would be to ride a scooter than walk.

My cynical reaction is that restaurants back them to get rid of competition.

How does this compare to Pocketcast's Discover section? I guess being free is a big advantage.

I don't follow football but I'm curious. Who is the bad athlete/best player you're referring to?

Somewhat related: Millenium Blades, a board game that simulates the game and metagame of trading card games, had a Kickstarter.

This is very frustrating for me. I like to watch skilled players who explain their startegy to improve my own game play, but streams are a slog to watch live. Some streamers archive their streams, but big chunks of their recordings are mute

What do you mean by "(a fraud prevention measure to make it hard to cover any wrong doing)"?

When I use an ATM, I always run my fingers along all of the keys after entering my pin. Nice to know it's not totally crazy.

Absolutely. People are using ML for plenty of difficult problems. In operations research, a lot of time is spent coming up with heuristic solutions to hard optimization problems. This problem is plenty hard for people to do. There has been

I looked into getting it, and the doctor's office was surprised that my insurance didn't cover it. They said that the usual version of my plan normally covers it but my employer had a stipulation that specifically excluded weight

To be fair, I didn't pay for my PhD, but I gave up the opportunity to earn more than a grad student's stipend for six years.

I don't really want to look at this at work. Is it only strictly for video games? Teams are big in Magic: the Gathering (yes, Magic Online is technically a video game but for most it's a testing and preparation tool for paper Magi

LaTeX isn't that hard, Microsoft equation editor is slow, and don't even get me started on how much more time consuming it is to put in references, tables of content, etc. The first equation in the paper is $$\Delta P_t = \mu + \s

I see. I guess it was just me misinterpreting "perfect". To me it's obviously not perfect to play like a robot.

Serious question: what does it mean that perfect accuracy is a bad thing? I'm not a pianist and I'm not a professional, but I'm an amateur oboist (20 years in student/amateur orchestras). I think of technical accuracy as
