Yep, I've had fun with this service. Simple to use, quick and decent results. I exported the checkpoint and used with colab notebooks.

I lived in London in the 90s and early 2000s. I used to love walking whenever I could and walked the commute from Fulham to Westminster. Some of my favourite places are unrecognisable now. I remember Shoreditch being slightly edgy and going

Great idea. I really enjoyed Angry Birds when it first came out and when my children asked about to install it on their devices I said this was fine. I couldn't find the original Angry Birds so installed Angry Birds 2. What an awful co

This is really interesting in that it doesn't use photoplethysmography (PPG) in the same way that the Galaxy Active 2 does(an optical sensor that measures bounced back light.) There's an inflatable cuff within the wristband. I&#x2

I had a GearVR and it was pretty fun for a while but the battery life, overheating and lack of great apps made me lose interest. I then got a mixed reality headset and Beat Saber was a game-changer for me. The controls are so simple and are

Oh yep. I listened to a full cast reading of The Man of Legends by Kenneth Johnson a couple of months ago and the narration was pretty good on the most part. There was a section that was told from the point of view of a young Hispanic girl

Yes, we are animals. We are pretty unique within the animal kingdom but we are still animals.

He rejects the term 'Sexual Assault' completely. https://stallman.org/antiglossary.html#assult There's plenty of troubling stuff in his writing.

That's interesting. This year, for the first time, I've been working with Rails. It wasn't my choice but I've really enjoyed it. A lot just makes sense and it's been so quick to get things from idea to code.

I really enjoyed that part of the book. If I remember correctly, the soldiers were just representations of the Trisolarans as they were too alien for us to identify with. The actual Trisolarans emitted light to build their living computer.

Annual membership is around £59.99 here if bought at the right time. I don't like the company but for me Prime is good value. My children get to watch Dora, Paw Patrol and there's some decent grown up TV too. Twitch Prime is also

I have a Mixed Reality headset and Google Earth is amazing with room-scale VR. It's not something I would have thought would work as well as it does. Beat Saber is the only VR game I keep coming back to - the controls are spot on. So s

I lost a batch on MtGox but it looks like I might get something back. I'm quite grateful the trustee sold off a few hundred million dollars worth at around $12k. At least there are some funds available to pay out to creditors.

Just what I was going to say. That's a huge file and slows the site down considerably. It should be easy to switch to a MPEG4/WebM video for animation.

Yep, it's a good book and reads like a thriller. I read it as a fable against 'Fear of missing out' and 'Fake it 'til you make it' culture. I like the idea of a simple universal test and can see how the executi

This is interesting to read as I've been struggling with the best approach for my son who's coming up for five. He has a pretty solid understanding of basic addition, subtraction and multiplication. He was asking about infinity an

Maybe, but it's not only urine that causes red eyes. When chlorine binds with any organic matter it can create compounds that sting your eyes. Sweat isn't as eye-catching as urine.

The headline is a bit clickbaity. The third paragraph starts with "In fact, chlorine is still a culprit." A more accurate title could be "Urine and Chlorine Cause Red Eyes in Pools."

That's put a smile on my face to see her looking well but ouch, that's quite a bill. I had a transnasal craniotomy (surgery through the nose) back in 2012 to remove a pituitary tumour. Not technically brain surgery, but they did n

We were using Google Maps but the change in pricing means that we will need to find another service. From this week onwards there won't be any free map loads a day. There will be $200 of recurring credits which are the equivalent of 10

Reading all of these replies is making me nostalgic for my youth in California. I spent a lot of time in Santa Cruz between '95 and '98 and used to head to SF pretty regularly. As a young art student before any real involvement in

It'll be interesting to see how this plays out. How explicit does the consent need to be? How obvious do deletions need to be? Will server location cause problems? It seems obvious that comments won't cause an issue but because of

Here in Scotland when my son was born, he needed to stay in hospital for 10 days for what turned out to be benign myclonic jerks in his sleep. The midwives gave my wife her own room and even set up a camp-bed for me. They gave me tea and to

Yep. I agree - it's pretty easy to slip up and public IPs are fairly easy to monitor. It reminds me of this project https://github.com/edsu/anon which "lets you tweet about anonymous Wikipedia edits from part

That's more realistic than some I've seen but it reminds me more of Paul Rudd from his body language.

Herbalife just escaped being labelled a pyramid scheme a couple of years ago and seems to hover around the edges of legality: https://www.theguardian.com/business/2016/jul/15/herbalife-f...

Yep, I'll agree with this. I studied Latin for about 8 years at school and enjoyed it, even though at the time I had thought it pretty useless. 15 years later I moved to Spain for a while and was amazed at how naturally everything came

I've signed up and will give this a shot. I followed the Tour of Go and was wondering where to head next. I haven't watched the videos yet but the site looks really simple and attractive.
