This is why I find Outliers incredibly overrated. The core idea is fine, quite good even. But the fact that the book is 336 pages when it could probably be 20-50 at the most just kills the joy of reading it.

While I don't think it's intentionally crippled, the Garmin app is better on Android than iOS. You can have fine grained app notifications on Android that you can't on iOS, and from /r/garmin it seems that iOS app i

AS much as I hate video, Gamers Nexus did a video on it - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cV9QES-FUAM Seems like main reasons are that NVIDIA has been a very hard to work with partner, by not disclosing MSRP to partners unt

There was a good article from six degrees of wikipedia ( https://www.sixdegreesofwikipedia.com/blog/search-results-an... ) which would show the ideal path and be cheating, but fun to compare optimal vs what was found.

While I'm not older than 40, there are quite a few people in my Master's program who are. I'm in the OMSCS program at Georgia Tech, Online Maters in Computer Science ( https://omscs.gatech.edu/ ). It's exa

I think a better use is the Map of Reddit ( https://anvaka.github.io/map-of-reddit/ ) which shows links between reddit communities. Start from one you know you are interested in and bounce around exploring the nearby com

This is fantastic, though of course starting to read it I realize I should read his Decline and Fall of Rome series ( https://acoup.blog/2022/01/14/collections-rome-decline-and-f... ) but then there's his

I just started reading Bret's blog in the past couple weeks with the LOTR posts. Was quite the rabbit hole that I still haven't come out of, love the blog! Anyone with an interest in history should check his blog out.

From my understanding, there are three things to keep in mind: 1. Whenever you do an x86 vs ARM comparison, there's a number of variables that need to be considered, the node size of the CPU, the power envelope, number of cores, coolin

I mean, but that same measure, you're advocating using R/Python as a hammer for everything. Python/R are great languages and tools, so is Excel, all three can be used in fantastic or awful ways.

According to the article the person was missing stands and other meetings for "thunderstorms" and "power outages", and the mouse jiggler was the last straw. I think more likely there was concern about the employee and th

I imagine Glassdoor is reacting to the situation and is going on the "Better to get out part of the solution now than wait to get everything out perfectly" which I would agree with.

I mean to for sure, but the project isn't done yet, there's some NLP work we're doing with the results of the OCR and I really want to do a full series going over all we've done rather than one and then two months later

For some comparison, I recently did an OCR comparison for some work for a professor. To set some context, all documents were 1960s era typed or handwritten documents in English, specifically from this archive - http://allenarchiv

I'm sticking to old.reddit.com as long as I can, I dread the day they get rid of it as an option.

You might want to try a different parser as well, I tried a basic performance test comparison in another comment ( https://gist.github.com/MercuryRising/4061368 ) and the html.parser was very slow compared to the lxml-xm

I was curious, so I tried that performance test you linked to on my machine with the various parsers: ==== Total trials: 100000 ===== bs4 lxml total time: 110.9 bs4 html.parser total time: 87.6 bs4 lxml-xml total time: 0.5

If you don't need JS, I think it's still the best. Sure, that doesn't always work for you, but once you start needing to render JS the scraping slows down tremendously.

I agree, in an ideal utopian world there would be no need for armies or defense. But that's not the world we live in, and at least in my personal belief, it's unlikely we ever will and we must judge what things are and act accordi

The Techspot article on this goes into a bit more detail on the other leaks ( https://www.techspot.com/news/94803-gaijin-war-thunder-forum... ) but generally yes, it's people with clearance who are players of the ga

Rodrigo Copetti has a great article detailing the Wii architecture and how similar it is to the GCN - https://www.copetti.org/writings/consoles/wii/ - Really looking forward to his Wii U article.

Oh agreed, and and I'm definitely biased towards my degree. What I can say is that without the degree I find it extremely unlikely I would have gotten the job I have now working in Data. At the least it gave me the confidence to apply,

So there are a few ways now! I do agree that it's not the default, I'd probably say <5% of people do, but it does exist. 1. Courses -There are a number of courses now where you can create projects and publish papers. Again, not

I'm sad to say that an hour a day is unlikely to let you finish the program productively. You can look at https://omscentral.com/courses for student's estimates of how long they spent per week in courses, but most

Agreed, while I completely agree that in person is not the same as virtual, Slack makes it so that it's not as bad and I've made some good connections on slack. I check it every day and very much feel like I'm part of a commu

I'm personally in the Georgia Tech Online Master's in Computer Science (OMSCS) program right now and can't say enough good things about it. The coursework is rigorous, deep, and varied, you really do learn quite a bit through
