I find this hard to believe. Searching for python copy paste indentation, the first page of results has everything from how to turn it on for various editors to how to turn it OFF for various editors (implying it's built-in to some).

This is exactly what I was thinking, but couldn't phrase it quite as nicely. I never feel the need to reach for pdb when writing Python, but C on microcontroller? I need my gdb.

+1 to the above, it's just a different environment. I haven't used a debugger at my current (mostly Python) job at all, whereas at a previous job in C++, I was using gdb practically every day.

+1 to acknowledging that when it comes to software, "simplicity" does not have one exact quantitative meaning we all agree on -- for now, simplicity is still in the eye of the beholder in my opinion.

My gut feeling is that they had the prices for 1BRs and for 2BRs, and the numbers sounded more impressive with the 2BR. They could've easily displayed both so people could do their own calculations for roommates, etc.

That's how you end up with the factory-campus style places like the iPhone factories in China where the workers basically never leave. On a more serious note, though, some employers do want to build housing near their headquarters (suc

Do the people that write these papers ever release their source code or trained model? I'm curious about both other researchers reproducing as well as being able to download something and play with it.

I feel like generating a lot (100k? You can tweak to get whatever confidence you want) of numbers for every day for the next several (30?) years and running tests like chi-squared (or others, see http://www.cse.wustl.edu/~j

Yes, they speak ultra fast and literally say the punctuation verbatim. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWXebEeGwn0&vl=en for an example ("How a Blind Developer uses Visual Studio"). You can hear it sayin

Not exclusive to HN, but I use Vimium for Chrome. Pressing “f” highlights all links and gives them a key combo that clicks the link when I type it.

That's fair, thanks for the explanation. I legit didn't know the specifics of the Korean technology, just that I had heard the bus can get charge from the road while driving on it.

2 questions: 1) A friend of mine recently broke his arm. His typing profile is going to be quite different from normal until he's fully healed. What do you do in this case? Is there a "reset my typing profile" thing you ca

Not really, but like I said in response to other comment, we’ve had very few repairs. There’s never been more than ~1 week gap between tenants — near university housing is always hot, and the management company only gets paid if the place i

Yes, the figure I gave was profit after all expenses. Since they’re condos, the association covers the heating/cooling system and everything exterior. I guess we’ve been lucky on the repair front, because the only thing we’ve had to pa

I don’t mean so much that it’s super difficult, I’m just imagining that 10-year-olds would rather be making pictures move around on the screen over doing a math thing that they might not yet understand the importance of. I could be wrong, i

How is that bad for the single Google et al. employee? That still leaves 10k+ a month for everything not housing-related, which is plenty . Outside of housing, SF isn't that expensive (groceries, for example, aren't ~7 times mo

How in depth are you wanting to learn, and how do you like to learn? You can build some cool stuff without having much in depth knowledge (there are tons of step-by-step projects for Arduino/RaspberryPi just a Google away). If you&#x27
