You could also do the following to compute the overhead of the timing function: time_start = time.perf_counter() time_end = time.perf_counter() execution_time = time_end - time_start

It's not what you say, but how you say it. This is just mindless disproportional bashing. "Come on Google I don't have all day!" "This is actually one of those crazy "facts from the future" to go back in t

I don't see any factual objective discussion in the twitter thread. Btw, I'm not a big fan of Google, which I guess is what you were implying. In fact, I think Google is the most dangerous tech company currently in existence and I

The most amazing part about this is that regardless of how much more details one would want to put into it, it is probably practically infeasible to make it complete. It's a wonderful example to demonstrate the importance of the concep

Funny. My favorite example to demonstrate why people do absolutely not care about privacy is Signal. In terms of privacy it is a superior messenger to Whatsapp and Telegram, but in terms of usability and convenience it is horrible and that

I disagree. "Constant time" means O(1), which this isn't.

When i use the `ncdu` utility for example it does not highlight selected entries when using `putty-256color`. Example: https://i.imgur.com/ZibnkOm.png (left `putty-256color`, right `xterm`). Maybe this is a shortcoming of t

I found that the `putty-256color` terminal does not really work well with utilities using more advanced TUIs such as ncurses.

Didn't believe that this is really possible. Certainly interesting to see what is possible with macros and workflow optimizations. However, why is this extensive note taking necessary? Shouldn't the course materials provide a digi

Well, have fun maintaining that. Sort of reminds me of all the privacy-improving registry hacks for Win10 that become obsolete after the next Windows update.

It still doesn't explain to me why the authors still mention the BMI. It seems like a meaningless piece of information given that they have much better markers.

by xurukefi 9y ago
As somebody who is not familiar with medical research, can anyone tell me why the authors mention the BMI here at all? As far as I understand, the BMI is an indispensable metric for statistics on large populations. However, in a case study

Everything is one of the first tools I install on every windows box. For me personally it is a must have. I don't think I know of any other tool which altered my workflow that heavily.

As somebody who has no idea about chess I cannot believe that Carlsen calculated Bf8 after Rc8 under this time pressure and an easy Qg3 move. Kudos.
