(I actually only posted a single comment in this thread. It seems like there are multiple people who are recommending the Ender :) )

Such as? All the brackets are currently spoken for: [] = list {} = set / dict <, > = less / greater than I suppose you could overload <, > but I'm not sure that's much better. Honestly, the more I've lea

Wow, that's crazy! Was actually going to take a look at Safari, you've saved me some time!

I had all these same issues as well except I run Linux. Tried to switch to Firefox 2 months ago, used it for about a month before going back. In addition to the issues above, I noticed terrible battery performance on my laptop and the fans

For the single element tuple case - what else would you suggest? You can always do Tuple(3) instead of (3,) if you'd like.

Maybe, but quality is hard to measure. I just bought a Creality Ender 3 Pro for $180 and the print quality looks as good as anything I've seen from a Prusa or even the Ultimaker at my university. It's got a larger build volume tha

One thing I've noticed is that negative reviews, even very specific ones, often just serve to delay my purchase. I was looking to buy an ab wheel recently, and almost every single option on Amazon had some negative reviews which seemed

On the other hand, I sort of worry about anonymously crowd-sourcing reputation like this. Putting aside the notion of sex workers for a minute, suppose you ran a site where people could report bad drivers by their license plate numbers. (I

1. The link you provided suggests that some bottled water comes from Municipal sources, ie. it is tap water. This would logically imply that the standards for bottled water are <= the standards for tap water, at least in those locations.

Thanks, Notion looks pretty great. Beats Dropbox Paper on almost all fronts except the inline TeX. It looks like it is on their radar: https://twitter.com/NotionHQ/status/1093334827770699778 In the meantime, there

My point was that no, of course the feature doesn't require it, but their particular implementation of the feature does. For example, maybe they implemented per-user sharing first, which obviously would need to know who is accessing th

Why? I have a long commute, the only thing that makes it bearable is choosing the content I listen to. The app makes a difference here - PocketCasts and Spotify have features that others don't - so I do want to use their native interfa

That's funny, I didn't realize Android Auto wouldn't work in a Tesla, and now I am very hesitant to buy one. It works perfectly on my wife's car, I can use whatever apps I want (eg. PocketCasts, Spotify, Plex) and the in

I'm just not all that curious, to be honest. It doesn't need to be curbed, I don't care what you have in your house. Is this really a motivation that other people feel?

Essentially Dropbox is arguing that, due to the way they have implemented it, the feature does require this information sharing. While it clearly could be implemented many different ways, and I agree Dropbox should do better in this case, I

Your last two sentences seem contradictory.

I do, because they are one of the few online collaboration platforms which support LaTeX. I'm not talking about Overleaf, which is great if you want to make a full LaTeX document, I'm talking about an easier markdown editor where

If the door is open and that is an unusual occurance, sure, I would knock on the door frame and call out to make sure they are alright / didn't forget to close the door, etc. For every other situation, no, I wouldn't.

Maybe so, but the alternative effectively means innovation has zero value. Why would I bother researching how to make a new product when I could just copy an existing one? Oh sure, I could tweak a thing here or there to make sure it's

Still sounds awfully general. I mean, it is clearly subjective, but I think the issue is the divide between domain specific technical expertise and lawyers / judges who would argue a patent is exploitable.

Absolute nonsense. If someone could make this device and run it cost effectively, what incentive do they have to sell it? Last I checked, the only place to make money on crypto was certain areas in China with very low electricity costs.

I like Nim very much, however I do not think it will solve the 2 language problem. One of the things I lean on heavily in Python when experimenting and researching is the dynamic nature of the language. I believe this is also a strong facto

Presumably that it was easier to use to illustrate the actual content as opposed to implementation details. This is definitely the case, at least in TensorFlow 1.x there were a lot of details which made converting from [the way we think abo

I can watch YouTube content at 3x without issue. I did this without much intentional effort - I simply downloaded an extension which allows me to speed up the video in increments of 0.1x using a keyboard shortcut. Whenever it felt slow I wo

What might be more relevant, however, is the effect of verbosity on comprehension. Syntax highlighting can help, and humans will likely naturally perform input compression (chunking), but this must be learned.

I guess the point is that you can't really say you've made a browser. It's like bringing store-bought brownies to a party and claiming you made them yourself.

What? In what way? Genetically? I mean, I suppose, but do you really care about that? Passing on your beliefs / values? This rarely even makes it a single generation, and why can't you do this by simply making an impression on peo

For me, having children was the worst decision I ever made. Since you've already identified the negatives (described in the article) I don't think I have to explain why I feel this way. If I could go back in time and tell my young
