Your first sentence hits the nail on the spot. For instance, I open up the Prusa slicer software (for 3d printing) and it says there is an update. I didn't open the software to update it, so I always click no - I opened this because I

I can't speak for this specific model/extension, but "most" neural networks aren't that big at the end of the day, and you are just a few matrix dot products away from getting your classification (of course, I'

They are easier to update too with new features and buttons. The parent's point about tactile being better when driving is still valid though.

Well, you should have a little concern. On my switch, I can buy games either digitally or physically for just about the same price. I buy most games physically, as one cannot guarantee the server that downloads games will work in 10 years (

This is a good point. I often "misspell" private information if its not an official form. If someone had more motivation, they could do a "different-secure-number-per-provider" trick and work out who leaked the informati

Like all software, you choose the language / platform depending on your business goals. Want it to be hidden for ages and slowly leak data? Write in optimised C to minimise footprint. Quick break in and grab everything? Pick your favou

It should be recommended reading for new IT support staff. While you get unhelpful "its not working" requests all the time, when the user does give you information on the working / not working scenarios, you should always con

Yes, but you move the logic for deciding which branch to take to an underlying function. It pollutes the parent function less, but results in more overall functions for places to hide. Also, if the logic gets more complicated than just an i

Bootstrap is more than the layout. Its good having good looking buttons by default and cards and toasts and so on with less mucking around. I find if I dont use a framework like this then I invariably end up creating my own with all these f

As noted on the page, but this idea (at least in the python world) started with such a "Wall of shame" for libraries that hadn't updated to Python 3 support. I'm not sure how much progress was directly attributable to th

I've found the key is to just do small changes and let them build over time. For instance, I recently moved to i3, and it was hard to adjust at first, but now I'm used to it, I'm a bit more familiar to starting changing confi

Agree. I think I've made nearly as many personal blog sites as I have actual blog posts.

Even if you need a data API - if its just a demo (or slow moving data), you can just directly serve .json files.

Just a FYI for the library authors out there, but you can usually set a template for submitting bug reports and issues (for instance, Github has this feature). This can help put a message in front of users right as they are making the issue

The best advice I've seen on this is, whenever someone new comes up, ask "what should be deprioritised to accomodate this new thing?".

I get it, but if you are developing on python, you should consider the "OS python" to be a completely separate thing you don't touch. The reason is that programs in your OS are using that python, and if you muck it up, you ri

It's probably also worth mentioning the project is a work in progress, and from the videos, it looks like OpenDog is likely to undergo at least one more major change before "completion".

Getting a good home-office setup is critical here. In my previous house I had a separate office and enjoyed working from home. In my current house we do not have a separate room (adding it now) and I can't get anything done there (does

Agree. I think reversing in non-ascii should always be thought of as "per-token", where English is character-as-token. So the reverse of what you gave would be: ":medium light skintone: :Man facepalming: lol" (with the l

Another great example is the difference between Rugby Union and Rugby League. While there are lots of rule differences, a key one for me: in Rugby League, defenders must go back 10m after a tackle, while in Rugby Union they do not. This lea

I've mentioned to a few people now that the first generation of self-driving cars don't scare me that much. It will be weird, but I assume that special care will be taken and the cars themselves will be quite risk-averse. I'm

I had something similar, to the point where I didn't really know anything about the people in my team. One small thing that can help a little is to spend more time on the small talk in team meetings and video conferencing. "The we

Yeah, that's sort of what I was trying to say. It will be gamed like the current system, but reputation networks are a studied problem with lots of options of things like this. just nothing thats taken off.

Watching speed runners play through games is a great way to visualise not only this aspect (that games are flimsy at best), but to visualise the same practice in any software - if you don't code defensively, often a simple mis-input br
