The highest-tier schools are not a place to learn, but a place to pay to get their fancy name on your resume/transcript. Actually learning anything is your problem, not theirs.

I'm not sure what you mean. An Array is a contiguous section of memory with like items. Those like items _could be_ object pointers. The closest thing in Python to this is a tuple. A List is a collection of things with an order, often

We are having a number of rolling issues, but the site is sort of up? I worry it'll get worse before it gets better. Nothing on their status page. But the Console is not working.

I would add to this: playing LoL and knowing the characters and story doesn't add that much to the experience. It feels very much like its own thing.

I'm assuming it's that you can get a kidney transplant from a family member who is lying in the OR next to you. Deceased donors are transported from wherever they died.

Can you even vet it, really? All you need is one chip with secret logic inside it, in just a handful of boards, and you are hosed. You'd have to physically inspect every single board, in every single piece of equipment, and even then t

I assumed it was less about budget and more about the directors and artists refusing to concede control over how their game looks and works. Kind of like how the Magic Mouse charging port placement is designed to prevent people from using i

I think you are on the right track, but I think the performance gain really comes from the RAM being on the chip itself, which raw number crunching won't make use (but actual usage will make great use of)

It seems great, and then on a rainy night while I'm running late it brought me to the wrong place... It was only about 200 yards up the road, but it brought me to someone's house, and had me turn in the wrong direction. So, I was

> The whole world should go on UTC only. We should redefine noon to the time when the local sun is most directly overhead. What? How does that work?

Interesting, this was made super clear to me, and even included instructions to leave it plugged in for at least 40 minutes after waking up in the morning so it can communicate. Generally the insurance companies don't like paying for s

I knew someone who would make 5 figures for a one day presentation to random companies. I wish I had actual details, but she was one of the richest people I've known personally (outside of customers). She somehow converted her programm

I have used a few tools, but most of the ones that worked for me in the past died in the last few major versions of OSX. I don't believe Steermouse was one of them, though.

I disagree here. I use keyboard shortcuts on both platforms, but I can be fast either way on Linux, while on Mac I just can't get used to the acceleration curves and other odd behaviors that simply don't happen on the other platfo

I tried 3 different mice on macOS and finally just bought a Magic Touchpad. I never understood why Mac folks were obsessed with keyboard shortcuts, but now I know. Mouse on Mac completely sucks and it's embarrassing. I have a Mac machi

> Plug a cable in and drag and drop like it’s any other digital camera Yeah, this rarely works. It takes a long time to acknowledge there's any files, and then it tries to copy them, and then crashes instead. Over and over. Turning
