Funny that Hack #1 compares list versus set value lookup, but the timer doesn't include the time to copy the list into a set. Hack #2 warns against unnecessary copying, and the time for copying the list is almost the same as the perfor

Of every story you've ever heard about this child, this singular event is your evidence for telepathy? Shouldn't that alone be strong evidence against your interpretation? I'm reminded of the anecdotal, arbitrary miracles att

What do you do today to resolve a dependency conflict when an intermediate library has a just-so dependency tree? The charitable interpretation of this proposed feature is that it would handle this case exactly as well as the current situ

Instead of being organized by album, they're all thrown together with the filenames as UUIDs instead of the original name, or any useful name whatsoever. The editing steps I've applied to the raw files are, of course, not present.

I've not experienced corruption like the author, since my workflow involves copying the raw files from sdcard to harddrive, and then importing into Photos. After processing the raws in Photos, I export a .jpg back out to the filesystem

I hate to tell you to RTFM, but the QGIS team has put a lot of effort into the User Guide and very practical Training Manual. If you're already familiar with typical GIS workflows, you'll breeze through them, and they'll help

The point is that potatoes are one of the top 4 food sources worldwide, and they collectively dwarf the percentages of the long tail of other food sources. Proportions vary significantly continent-to-continent and culture-to-culture, such t

Tell me, oh wise HN caricature, do you think the point was hardware-level emulation of a 40-year-old analogue circuit? (Hint, it's also got a variable pulse-width oscillator and an LFO, which the TB-303 lacked.)

Not only does this sound excellent, with three great TB-303 synth engines with a colored delay, but it's very musical . The three patterns are locked to a common scale/mode, they autogenerate with compatible and often interleavin

Kudos to the author for writing an academic thesis on distortion in music, but it sure reads like an academic thesis rather than a statement about art. In contrast, I thoroughly enjoyed and resonated with this short conversation between Hen
