One application comes to mind for this: watch for new screenshots (assuming they automatically get put into a directory for Fallout 4 screenshots) and add the in-world coordinates to the EXIF data.

Kinda sounds like you've got a race. Are you using threads at all?

At $2 - $5 per magnet, (as listed on that website, you could probably get them cheaper if you're outfitting a herd of 2000+) you'd have to cut a lot of corners to build something that can traverse a populated pasture and pick up t

Rounding from 38 to 40 is a difference greater than 5%. Some applications might support that, but I'm sure there are plenty that won't. For example, wood joints have very small tolerances.

You might be better-served by ImageMagick's `compare` tool to do per-pixel diffs. Gerbers are something you don't want to just guess about.

Ah, but then you're not writing C anymore, you're writing GCC-flavoured C. If it helps: The author of that article, John Regehr, is a professor of computer science who spends a great deal of time studying undefined behaviour.

I guess it helps to give some context: unsigned integer overflow is defined. Some algorithms even exploit this behaviour to allow for simpler code. But even making sure that you stay within the valid range of your integer isn't neces

Sure, but then we'd just be discussing undefined behaviour in the language that sprung up out of the desire to take advantage of the optimizations that the neutered C leaves on the table.

by rcfox 11y ago
Someone says this every time the topic of undefined behaviour comes up. Ignoring the original portability concerns, there's a large of set of optimizations that are only possible if you can assume that no undefined behaviour occurs. Ac

It's not hard to get into undefined behaviour territory with seemingly correct code. For example: signed integer overflow is undefined in C.

Many people use the words "depressed" and "sad" synonymously. If you're bummed because you didn't get that big client, does that qualify as "feeling depressed"? If you want to study depression in the

Arrow functions and `let` are what is generally considered to be the "correct" way of doing things. They behave more closely to how other languages behave, and should reduce overall confusion in the long term. The arrow operator i

I don't work with NN at all, but it kind of seems like the author set up their CNN with a large enough filter to see a whole spot at once, but not large enough to see a whole cat at once. Then he complains that it doesn't know wha

It's moderation. "Censorship" implies suppressing free speech, which this is not. It's simply removing undesirable content from a privately-owned website.

I'm sure you're right, but it seems like traffic would be easy enough to consider by simply increasing specific edges' costs. As for the scale issue: most of these nodes and edges will never change, so it might be possible to

Two corrections: 1) "Engineer" isn't protected; "professional engineer" is. 2) This applies to all of Canada. Each province has its own regulating organization.

Off topic, but this code blob broke the formatting of the HN comment page, causing text to extend horizontally off the screen. It'd be great if you (or a mod) could add some (4, I think?) spaces in front of your code to make it appear

I don't know anything about the libraries mentioned, but it sounds like you've decided that the Rails way is the correct way to do things, and then try to shoehorn that into the others.
