Yup. I had a CS teacher who taught python for one term. At the time, what I took from the experience was that Computer Science is not for me. Now looking back I realize said teacher just wasn't a competent programmer (and Python 2 suck

Oh, I thought those came from the switch. Then why not do away with the switch though. Ok, probably just very improvised, quick demo indeed.

I mean, that is pretty cool but... It seems kind of obvious that they could have just printed the QR code and taped the paper to the switch instead of using rubber bands to attach a phone to their switch...

I can only offer anecdotal evidence, but here it goes. Used to have plenty of issues with scaling under Wayland, particular with my nvidia gpu. Now I am running an intel-only machine (yes I would prefer AMD) with a scaling factor of 1.5, an

It's a real problem. The whole issue complex has turned me off of using regression analysis in my work completely. If there is data, I just show the data as good as possible. But as long as regression analysis is a useful tool to advan

By running your lines on a shoestring budget, how else would you? The contacts have a fixed life time, keep your expenditures low and you can extract the highest profits. Long-term maintenance in particular suffers after privatization, beca

Oh, the lock in still exists. In many fields. You need a certain software to be competitive, so you have to use whatever os supports it. I know people who have switched from Mac os to windows because office is slightly janky on Mac os. Lock

It's even simpler than that. All of these privatized entities are incredibly efficient... at extracting profits from the public. Of course their goal is to extract profits. And you don't extract profits from a rail line by offerin

That's what it's come to? I have been using Ubuntu for about 15 years, but with snaps still starting up as slowly as they do in finally switching once support for 22.04 runs out.

The weirdest thing is that folks paying 6 figures learn about these safety mechanisms only after sinking to the bottom of the ocean. It's a sensible safety mechanism to have, but shouldn't there be a briefing where participants le

Well, there is a limit to what temperatures you can get used to and survive. Somewhere above 130f/50c your body cannot cool you down effectively anymore, and you literally need an AC to stay alive. It's not an issue of getting use

They're just exporting natural gas on top of all the crude they can find. Not the revolutionary pivot one would hope for. On top, natural gas extraction is associated with runaway methane emissions, which are among the most potent clim

Texas is significantly hotter than Spain, this is not a reasonable analogy.[^1][^2] If Texas becomes too hot for human life, that means you can effectively only survive with air conditioning. Heat also stresses the electrical grid and makes

I have my doubt. Store security still has the leeway to decide what action to take. I suspect they will treat a false positive different when it is a guy in suit and tie vs. someone you would suspect of shoplifting based on a sloppier appea

Love this, this may actually help me to reduce my consumption of Youtube videos even further. That would be a good thing. All creators I like are also on other paid platforms. Thanks google for helping me migrate.
