I recently had some "how to run a meeting" training, maybe some ideas? This would be just thoughts I have maybe to make remote video/audio meetings work better. Honestly though, I'm just guessing. I'm not an expe

My grandmother passed away a few years ago, and some of her express wishes were not correctly stipulated in her will - so when things were being sorted out it got messy. Thankfully all the family were really chill and we could sort it out

The new 2.8 release comes with the Eevee "real time" 3d engine, which should work well with your current system. If you need to use Cycles, it'll still work fine with your CPU for now - and you can always either use an online

Since it came up, Tkinter's drag and drop story is pretty grim too. I've used Tkinter with python to make a whole bunch of quick utilities (sync tools for non-techies, XML editing stuff for file applications which lack needed tool

I suspect you're just trolling - but in case you're interested in /a/ perspective from within the broader Christian tradition... What is evil? What would "evil in men's hearts" mean? Evil as a concept can

Counter data point: I've had it running with 100+ tabs open for at least 2 months now. Yes, it gets restarted when my phone does - or when I need the resources for something else, or doing updates, but it's working great. Motor

How I've been running multiple wordpress installs for years: user: $sitename - the 'owner' of the whole hosted dir. rwX user: $sitename-PHP - the user that php-fastcgi or whatever runs as, r-X permission on the dir, and write

Taking the "they voted to leave regardless of deal" concept to the absurd: technically pointing all the british nukes at ourselves and literally wiping ourselves off the face of the earth would remove us from the EU. But no-one v

One possibility for showing the projects off behind the firewall would be creating a intro/demo video of the systems - for new employee on boarding, but also you could probably get permission from your manager or whoever to take a copy

It's older than just "a slogan about sexual assault". "No means No!" is a common parenting phrase to teach kids when a parent says "no", they mean it. If you asked for an ice-cream, and I said no, then st

If the system is broken/to blame, then the system should be sued. What if the state had to pay compensation in cases of "honest" mistakes? Then the state would start having to try harder to not let innocents get imprisoned.

To me, an American and a male, work is the number one way I choose to be valuable. If I chose not to work, or to work less, I would unquestionably provide less value to my society and my loved ones. Don't sell yourself short. Your lov

At this level, surely it's better to leave it to the "user" of the library - who can always write a wrapper for all their used libraries to the same style API for use in the rest of the program

The really awesome thing with rust is how easy it is to make library code which can be called from any language including C and C++ (in most situations) - just as easily as writing a library in C or C++. In some situations even easier th

Have you tried using Cython to compile code like the above? Python's sets / maps / reading data etc should be fairly optimised, so Cython might let you bypass boxing counter variables instead using native C ints or whatever.

Perl is great, but not that much (if any) faster to run than the equivalent Python, these days. If you use perl regularly, then the $_ syntax stuff is super fast to type and do all kinds of cool stuff, but I find as a irregular scripter tha
