I would prefer them, but for their one massive fail, which seems a feature in most of the shops i experience it in: I'm reasonably proficient with it, moving at a decent above average pace, but there are moments where optimal packing

To me, it seems consistent with the definition/origin of the word, ie lagging behind https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hysteresis#Etymology_and_his... Maybe you are deriving your sense of the word from examples in p

Am i reading your response correctly? You disapprove of the software author's response out of a concern over how they got back to a rude inconsiderate individual? The email from the user is more a rant than feedback. Granted some could

Maybe it teaches a recognition of pointless overhead and a healthy distrust of people who would fit in too well in Compliance departments?

Yes, this is an excellent point i had overlooked. The colour ranges now are far wider so this could come up quite easily now. The stealth Lego piece risk!

As a child i never got why adults stand on Lego, especially as i knew they found it painful (and if it were my Lego i found the risk of broken pieces concerning!) Obviously I appreciated that it was an accident but to me it seemed like the

I had ended up using ffmpeg a few times for this (i think inspired by the link you gave there) because it's often easier to share video than just audio on mainstream social media A few details of what worked for me and the output shown

As others say, it's headless-gl, and that in turn seems to be due to node-gyp. However the good news seems this is probably more a case of documentation inertia than actual requirements: it looks like you actually can install a version

Adding to this, it's trivial to get the human readable text on a Google phone: switch between apps and pick the app with the text but don't jump back into the app yet, select text and you can immediately copy the text out. It&#x27

I think you mean the work by Sam Gross: https://github.com/colesbury/nogil/ Interesting article about it here: https://lukasz.langa.pl/5d044f91-49c1-4170-aed1-62b6763e6ad0...

Do sensible people honestly use these sites? Might make me seem a bit of a tin hat nutter but once you've taken a risk with a site like this, you've basically no idea what they did to your computer. What's wrong with solely u

I agree - it's a part of UK government I'm pretty pleased with. It often feels like their involvement shakes out poor legacy processes too (thinking back 15 years to picking up mildly Kafka-esque forms at the Post Office for reall

But it looks like it's in all sorts of places - how do you think the language model ended up thinking that was a good autocomplete? There appears to be a name on a YouTube channel too that doesn't even need any additional steps (i

I'm really enthusiastic about what's happening with PyScript as the opportunities for the right use cases are enormous. That said, it has really brought out the knee-jerked clichéd responses: - X is way better than Y - X is the Y

Similar views here. It has recently become even worse as the Google Store no longer shows permissions.

I suppose tweaking the menu/ icon sizes when it's recognised as being in a mobile browser might be an idea (or at least something to let the user toggle to/from slightly more mobile friendly sizing of icons) would be handy

This is cool. Being afk right now, I initially thought i couldn't use it on mobile but the menus and icons saved me. The one thing i couldn't find a way to do is to multi select items on mobile. I saw in the demo video it's p

Interesting you should mention about submitting details like app version number, OS version etc. Although it's not within an app, and only partially automated, i tried building a tool to help people gather Python environment details et

You're absolutely right to ask why, and the reasons you give do drive the difficulties here. Although I'm fairly technical, I think I have a fair understanding of those in the non-technical camp due to my background and general ex

How heavily simplified do you need it? Doesn't seem that hard to follow (nor an especially long read worthy of shortening) but everyone's different.

Great to see how things have progressed Josh. My sample was good - not likely to make anyone think it was me (it gave me a distinctly American twist), but it's an impressive zero shot result. Btw the website looks slick too - works wel

They could possibly register a trademark, but few restaurants seem to. I can't imagine this creating much of a barrier - Google would stop if told to by the restaurant but then they might not list the restaurant, and what restaurant wo
