The B/2 term places the center of the parabola, which you can verify by either inspecting the derivative or fiddling with a graphing calculator. Then, because the parabola is symmetric, the zeros must be a pair of points mirrored acros

TBF, going by the problem statement in the article, the objective function could be pretty wacky. For example, do you weight accuracy by location? Is it more important to get your predictions right over sports stadiums than over residential

Is there any chance of this supporting modded servers? Performance is universally the limiting factor on modded minecraft; if you're not careful you can start having performance problems only thirty hours into a single-player world, an

When I clicked on "arguments" I was half-expecting it to be arguments like "--verbose" and "--noconfirm" and half-expecting it to be arguments like "why WOULDN'T I do this?" and "no this is

Pretty much, yes. WakaSaba's major offering - at least, that's what the headline and demo video focused on - seems to be a new control toolkit for video meetings, and I feel like it should be possible to get a good chunk of that w

It's not even that - My problem is that I depend on emacs for the first 50% of my workflow, not the last 50%. For example, I use key chords for every common operation - ;h ;j k; l; move between panes, xz invokes M-x, kj brings up t

I agree that fractional bus factors would be better if we could completely redefine the metric, yes - they do a much better job conveying the fact that doubling your bus factor does way more than halve your likelihood of actually getting

These two measures are probably ended up conflated because they're two ends of the same metric. "How many people need to be hit by a bus", which for simplicity I'll call the "bus factor", measures unusually hi

Used this a few months ago to configurate a logitech gaming mouse. Way better than the official software - easier to install and run, better UX, better, more features. The big thing I got out of it was the ability to easily assign any funct

Ah, that makes sense - If the universe of orders that can be given w.r.t. technology is closed, then yeah, there's theoretically no ambiguity and there's no way for the superior and the technician to disagree about whether an or

I have wondered what the procedure is when someone gives impossible orders. Like, I know there's a spectrum here, but just to illustrate, what do you do if your superior says "I'm ordering you to jump that gap" but it&#x

Can't obstruct fingertips, those are necessary for the cane and braille. Glove might work, but I'd worry about it competing with cold-weather gear like mittens. Was why I was thinking of a rigid head-mount.

I've seen some studies saying that hats with gyroscopes are effective, but they focused almost entirely on an exotic output device that worked via sensory substitution. What am I missing about "hat with gyroscopes and tiny servos

I can see why people don't like that one, yeah. It obviously can't replace the cane; you're always going to need at least one tool available that's as infallible as having a chunk of rigid stuff actually run into an obst

I've just realized that there are probably raging internet debates about what kind of cane tips are best. I'm not sure why I think I'm surprised by this realization. As for "smart canes", I always figured it'd

I've been having decent luck managing my dotfiles' dependencies with `git vendor`, which is a nice porcelain around subtrees. The big win is that it keeps track of your subtrees for you and presents a sufficiently-simple interface

It'd be pretty neat to lift this up into 3d - you could probably reverse the transforms to find the camera pose for each frame, then drop it into a scene alongside the camera frustum and the topography so we can see exactly how much st

Looks like ff's single-site browsers can't run extensions, which means they're not really useful for me. Every site I'd want to app-ify is also one I want to modify extensively.
