I'm sure they count the installs of their phone app in a very very serious way.

Agreed that was fun to read. I can relate as sometimes I too get angry and rant at marketing copy. And really, why does Mozilla want me to pick a color for Firefox when I just want to use it? I guess I'll stop now.

I've switched over to the Ansel fork which addresses the uncontrolled feature creep in Darktable. Mostly happy with the opinionated removal of cruft. Had to learn some new tricks, but overall my editing process is now more streamlined

We want the damn things to pass by. If we try to capture them we have to maneuver their trajectory very very close! I have no idea of astrophysics but due to their high speed the distance where they'd be in orbit would likely be below

Unfortunately the linked page has zero info on how their flywheels differ from current tech.

That video scares me on multiple levels, but shouldn't an autogyro be able to slow down horizontally and autorotate to the ground? Still not great over forest though.

I keep power supplies around when the device they were supposed to power goes out of service. The collection has grown to a big crate of assorted power supplies where I can hunt for a spare. It is common that I have to solder on a plug from

Thanks for the link, that was an interesting read. As a T1 I'd say this disease should bar you from a license to fly passengers. An emergency situation in the air can go on for hours, and you don't want diabetes creating extra iss

As a carrier of another autoimmune disease, I will be tempted to flip that switch should it become available. Since I participate in pretty much all studies they offer me, I would consider joining that one too. It might be the last one they

The page doesn't even show an example setup! All I see is a HDMI dongle with no idea what the use of it is. The text doesn't help at all.

Some trains are slow. For night trains, that's a feature.

Don't see any subtlety with two broad brushes painting in angry colors. When you accuse others of arrogance, don't let yours run rampant.

The difference is that the TV can not generate light at orange wavelengths, while auroras can! And then the twist is that what was captured by the camera was of red and green wavelength.

The original comment said "All I found is a statement that they use some score from some tool and link to the tool developer's site". So if that's all there is regarding classification, their methodology is not nailed do

No the question is how the authors decided which comments were toxic for their evaluation. If they say "gut feeling" then replication will be greatly hampered.

Tanks for the context, I see what you mean about not disallowing things. I still don't understand why they released the feature if operator precedence around it could still change. But then, I don't understand the need for the fea

Here's some unsolicited advice: You get more out of your interactions with people if you stay curious about them, rather than projecting your ignorance.

Thanks for the clarification. The whole thing is pretty far from the principle of least surprise for me. But so is operating on a def. Why would that be allowed if it is likely to change? Oh well, not that I needed more reasons not to use R
502.
by lolc 3y ago
Oh so they knew? My understanding is that it's already released, warts and all. Did I misread? So the tradeoff is that the parsing rules of that operator may change in the future? Who would even use it if it could change again?

by lolc 3y ago
Sorry I was short. I mean operator precedence was not considered. In the first implementation, 'def =' has higher precedence than 'if'. Which leads to surprising behaviour with tailing ifs. The if is evaluated to determi

It's amusing how they released it without nailing the arity first. Amusing in the sense of aaah good old Ruby still having the same development style that made me stop using it long ago.

When DDR SDRAM came out a magazine illustrated their article with light pulses traveling between the bricks and the core. From my electronics classes it was clear to me that the line would be either up or down, and these pulses were just fo

An example: Camera noise is often particularly annoying in the sky area. So I'll have two denoising filters active: A subtle one that doesn't lose much detail, and a strong one that only applies to the sky. Selecting the sky tends

I may evaluate whether a platform is full of accidental complexity and decide to switch. This evaluation may be triggered by a failure caused by weird conversion rules yes.

My take is that bugs in sh scripts are best avoided by not programming in sh. So my preferred tool for sh linting is git-rm. It's not always possible, but driving down the sh line count sure helps against bugs from this language and it
