Definitely. EDIT I hrhmmm, hope there is some evidence of my ballot.

I just had to vote "provisional" myself (Palm Beach County). I have a feeling there is going to be a lot of fraud reports against the Florida Board of Elections. We registered almost 2 weeks before our Oct 11 deadline, yet neither

This coming Monday's low, in my humble opinion, not investment advice, is the best time to buy GPRO.

Well, I think they did a reasonable job at finding a compromise (referring back to my comment about an 82% increase in GPU performance, etc.). But, yes, if they were to offer something like what I referred to as a MacBook Super and get rid

But, the thing everyone is overlooking is that the new GPU is 82% more performant than the last model, so it's not like they're reducing the specs. They just haven't increased the specs to the level of some of the other big

I'm a Python developer, and I've been worried about upgrading to MacOS Sierra, after hearing a few anecdotes about bugs, etc. Are you a coder, and have you noticed any things that you wish they'd fix; things that hamper you a

Check out the Alfred App for Mac. It's this and it's wonderful.

Only some of the tracks have this. It's by design.

The only thing I have to say, to play devils advocate, is that I wish they would've made it so that the escape key was in the very very left when it is there, so that I wouldn't have to learn a new offset location The only thing

Exactly. I don't want fingerprints all over my screen, there isn't much real value in a touchscreen laptop for 80% of users, and their tablets already cover those bases (especially with the advent of the iPad Pro).

I don't think it is a placebo effect for me, because there were times when it was less effective, based on the track that it started with - or when I would hear a specific set of tracks too many times and begin to recognize the pattern

I've listened to Brain.fm since this past February, and it is truly amazing. They have Focus, Relax, and Sleep, but I've only ever listened to Focus. It's like this steady stream of some kind of electronically generated music

Ah, of course. In hindsight, I now feel pretty silly even asking that.

You've get 14 days of return policy. Assuming you're talking about the new Touch Bar MBP, you've still got at least a week left.

Interesting. We're talking integers here, though (re: Python).

I'm a die-hard MacBook Pro fan, and despite the negative press around the new model's specs, I will somehow find a way to convince myself to buy one. This comparison is the first good news I found. I just entered the GPU model fro

Can an interpreter shirt curcuit a multiplication if the left side is 0? In Python, for instance, is the following: a * b * c * d computed like this?: ((a * b) * c) * d Or is it computed like this?: a * ((b * c) * d)

What I mean is that the energy wouldn't be lost. The turbulence wouldn't result in a net loss of energy, except that which was lost as heat through the walls (a 1cm layer of vacuum would insulate against that). Am I thinking if th

by mangeletti 10y ago
Ah, I see what you mean :/ EDIT: Wait, if the walls were made to be near frictionless, then the aggregate energy, minus what's lost to hear from turbulence, would be used for motion, right?

Hey Charles, I had the pleasure of working over IRC with you (at Ellington) when I worked for CMG Digital, and I found you to be one of the most knowledgeable Python developers I had met. But... I think you're blowing this out of propo

I don't mean as a means to maximize efficiency, but to avoid a lot of the problems (e.g., the risks of a vacuum, the cost of engineering one, etc.).

Why not, instead of using an almost-vacuum and a separate means of propulsion, create a stream of air similar to that of bank tubes and just use that for propulsion? Fans inside of the tube would pull air in the direction of travel, and it

The one thing that I think is absolutely lovely is the syntax: async def spam(eggs): ... It can't get much better than that. My hope is that the implementation will become: A) simpler B) more optimized C) out of the bo

Does this mean Go could be more suitable for robotics and drones now?

What kind of art are you talking about? I've done much graphic design (yes, paid) and used Photoshop and Illustrator for nearly a decade (though I now use Affinity, as of last year), and I have never been in a situation where I was ru
