I think he's talking specifically about the Java and C++ code that accompanied that Python file. I'm sure he's seen bad Java and C++ :)

They’ve had virtual desktops for some time now, and I think the shortcut is Ctrl-Win-(left|right). They’re not terribly customizable but they’re not bad.

There was a Linus tech tips video a while back about a new run of copycat Model M keyboards using some combination old tooling and new techniques (I don’t remember the specifics at the moment). Are you familiar with those boards at all?

Because it takes a lot more effort to massively influence the outcome if you have to falsify paper votes as opposed to electronic. The latter can be scripted.

I think this might be making a large assumption. What if they’re happy with the rest of the job?

I have ADD myself, and while I agree that adderall is something of a wonder drug in this regard, adopting a regular sleep schedule has had absolutely immense benefits for me. Almost every activity where it’s possible to gauge performance ha

I think this is the point that the poster is trying to make. They’re saying it’s difficult to declare something conscious or not using exact criteria. A popular definition (in my experience) is the existence of a central nervous system, but

Oh my goodness. Why did you put up with that for so long? Surely there are other bulbs that are just as capable and don't come with this ridiculous software.

Instead of gradient descent, I should have said the shotgun method. I imagine giving out a few cookies of varying quantities of ingredients to neighbors and then choosing the best. Though, this method does lead to potential local maxima.

Me too, and I was looking forward to it. When I have time, I want to experiment with doing a sort of gradient descent on an array of different cookie recipes to find the best ratios of ingredients. That would be an interesting project.

What do you mean? Aren’t we talking about the price of hospital visits, etc., meaning the performance/quality is expected to be good?

While I agree that the method is pretty bad, I think the video is about as top notch as it could have been given the reset method choice. You’re meant to use the video at the same time as you’re performing the reset, and it gives you a time

Seems like a bit of a silly solution. Personally, I wouldn’t need financial incentive not to have devices on my network be associated with illegal activity.

That’s how I felt, too. I was envisioning some sort of high framerate camera that could take an image of the cards as they’re dealt.

I’ve never used JLCPCB for anything too intense, but turnaround has always been 5 days on the high end in my experience. Is it different if you require more layers or more sophistication?

IMDb definitely seems to be on the take when it comes to new movie reviews. Almost any summer blockbuster will be in the top 10 for a number of weeks before eventually being edged out of the top 250. Friends and I have a tradition of pickin

It’s a classic case of ease of use without experience vs speed with experience. Unfortunately, the former is the one that seems to win out with the masses. Maybe there’s some sort of hybrid approach with keybindings for the power users and

Doesn’t it cache everything that it’s formatted, meaning you could paste + save to achieve the same effect? I had the same annoyance as well but stated doing it this way and never had any complaints.
