That is a very oversimplified way to describe making coffee - and thats just for one method of brewing. You have so many variations of brewing like pourover, drip, french press, espresso etc. and each of these methods has a ton of individua

Pair programming can be fantastic in short burst. The other day me and a coworker were working through a difficult solution and having another set of eyes was needed. Maybe its just because I get along with my coworkers, but when working o

I will check these out! I use Anki for Japanese right now - mainly because I found Anki decks for each chapter of Genki 1 which I am working through right now.

I think there is a happy medium too, and you don't need to live across the street from your job. I really like my job - which is located in the suburbs outside of DC but I wanted to live closer to the city so I have metro access and c

If you see my other comment, I don't think I am going to switch right now but it is good to check out alternatives. I am from the DMV area and capital one is huge here and pushes the narrative that they are an elite tech company VERY

Thanks for recommendations. I will admit I overreacted when I saw the headline and found out it was PNC. Just not the thing I expected to start my day hearing. I already use 2FA, a unique password only with PNC and alerts on all account a

As someone who uses the bank being referred to in the OP, this makes me feel a little better... somehow. I use a unique password and 2FA and monitor my accounts but I am still considering switching banks to one that puts more emphasis on s

Since it seems this is PNC, I am one of those who now needs to find a new bank. Any recommendations? I used PNC for my checking/credit but already use an american express high yield savings. I was thinking maybe Capital One?

I was going to leave this comment. I am about ~2 months into study Japanese and I love it. I get up early before work, and make some coffee and study for about an hour and it is one of my favorite parts of the day. I am still very much in

Have you tried ACC in VR yet? I can barely run ACC as is on my older i5 but would love to play that in VR as GT3 racing is my favorite class

Sim racing, or for those unaware of it: basically racing games with realistic physics and usually a competitive online racing field, is incredible in VR. The sense of speed and immersion with a good wheel and pedal setup in VR is unmatched

This is a terrible argument it is not a one to one comparison. If you are shunted in the rear on the way to work in your car you might have a inconvenient morning and an insurance claim. If the same thing happens on your bike you could qui

Never heard of the National Electronics Museum but I am from the area, I will check that out! The Cryptography Museum nearby is also great.

Ha, I always thought this was a weird fascination only I had When I was younger my favorite movies were a set of pseudo-documentaries (that my mom would rent from the library for me) made for kids about mining, recycling, trash collection a

They aren't a tech company. They are an office leasing and real estate company, and have the appropriate employees for this type of business.

+1 for lucid charts. I used the free trial a few years ago for a senior design class and was incredibly happy with it, which is saying a lot as I was consistently sleep deprived and irritated by most things at the time.

Yep. Got a BluRay recently with a badly cracked case because it shipped in little more than a paper envelope, and im sure was chucked up my front steps from 10 feet away. I usually buy them from Best Buy's online site which always seem

Struggled with this a lot when I started studying foreign language. I spent way too much time deciding between Turkish, Russian or Japanese and trying to justify my decision with arbitrary metrics of usefulness. In the end I went with Japan

Thanks for your thoughts! Perhaps I am a bit jaded as I went to a large university and I don't think a single professor could recognize me as a student, even the ones I went to office hours for. (always just help I never really struck

I am a huge fan of Aldi, and it is my preffered grocery store when I actually go in person. However, I do my shopping at Walmart, who offers similar prices with online order and free pickup. This convenience is worth the small price differ

Unfortunately I have very little experience with AI or ML. I did however have the lead contact on this paper (Yiannis Aloimonos) as a professor for computer vision my senior year at Maryland. He spent most of the lectures rambling about hi
