This is so cool and a great use of the technology. Despite the fixed camera, the scene feels textured and alive. I'd love it if there was a way to overlay translations of the hieroglyphics so I could get a sense of what they chose to w

Really happy to see this. I once wrongfully (and stupidly) assumed that my authenticator codes would be saved by Android backup, and lost all of them. I was able to regain access to almost everything, but there's one account I'm n

My crash happened whenever I tried using a Matlab MLX file (which are similar to Jupyter notebooks in Matlab, if you aren't familiar). Since I don't use them much, this was easy to work around. Not clear to me whether the problem

I've been using VcXsrv ( https://sourceforge.net/projects/vcxsrv/ ) to do the same thing for a few months. It works well in most cases, but it can be janky. The scaling doesn't always work well if you&#x27

A buyback has the added effect of reducing the number of shares, increasing their Earnings per Share (EPS). Since EPS is a widely-used metric for valuing a company, it's not quite the same as a dividend.

I haven't used Quill, but judging from the screenshots, the implementation looks nearly identical to Slack's. So when they say "everything is a thread", it seems safe to assume they mean "we like Slack threads so mu

I consider Threads to be among Slack's worst features, so 'everything is a thread' sounds like a dealbreaker.

It's a cool idea. There's also https://quiltdata.com/ but I haven't heard anything about them in a long time.

Looking forward to seeing reviews of this one. I have a Galago Pro and my biggest issue is the battery size, so it's good that they went with a larger battery here. But I have lots of other issues with it so hopefully this model is bet

I wrote a similar one to correct people's misspellings of the word 'definite'. It got banned quickly, but it's clear why. Unsolicited @ mentions are against the API terms. Was fun while it lasted but definitely deserved

I think there's a point to be made here that proficiency with UI is often conflated with technical understanding by nontechnical people, but I'm not sure the point about teens is well-founded. Specifically, while it's probabl

Streamlit is imo the best alternative. I was a beta tester and I found that it encouraged good coding practice without sacrificing too much functionality. I highly recommend that other data scientists check it out. Streamlit.io

It's so troubling to see a statistic misused like this. The vacancy rate includes all 'frictional' vacancies, such as the period between someone moving out of an apartment and the owner finding a new tenant, or the period bet

Impossible to say without all the data, but I'd bet that this has more to do with low Stadia sales than performance issues (though the two are related). I also imagine that Stadia purchasers are different from console owners in ways th

Completely agree here. Apple sacrificed the user experience in pursuit of thinness of the laptop. I just got my first Windows laptop in years because I didn't want to put up with the keyboard, touchbar, etc. Windows also now includes a

I'm a huge fan of Miguel Grinberg's Flask Mega-Tutorial. It's been around for a while, but he did a major update in 2017 to bring it more up to date. https://blog.miguelgrinberg.com/post/the-flask-mega-tu

I've been using a Galago Pro for over a year now, and I can't recommend it. I thought I wouldn't mind the small battery but it's burned me a few times now. I'm hesitant to even leave it overnight in suspend mode. If

I also recently bought a Galago Pro, primarily since it was the only reasonably priced laptop I could find with 32GB ram. I'd say overall I'm happy but it's a mixed bag. Pros: - Gorgeous screen, lightweight, Ubuntu 16 feels

Funny thing here, for me, is that the first time I ever rented a movie on Google play was because Amazon would not stream over Chromecast. They're shooting themselves in the foot for nothing.
