I don't get how you go and get access to something that not many people get to see, and then you edit the photos so much that they look computer generated. Looking at his portfolio it seems like he his better at photoshop than at takin

I'm with you on this. I can understand controlling the use of phones during class because it's disrespectful for the teachers work, but a complete ban is just dumb and seems like virtue signalling. If this is a problem for you as

From my experience in tech support most of the issues with mouses and keyboards are because of accumulated gunk, specially if you have pets or smoke near the computer. Since they are normally simple devices on the inside you can just remove

No idea, but it seems like it's intentionally made so that no matter the orientation of the deck (face up or face down), the first card you see (not counting jokers and ad cards) will always de an ace. The two suits of those aces are j

Bit of a nitpicking but the "sort" order is wrong. New decks come ordered Ace of Spades - King of Spades, Ace of Diamonds - King of Diamonds, King of Clubs - Ace of Clubs, King of Hearts - Ace of Hearts. The deck should start and

You do know that that video is from the TV COMEDY show Servant of the People, where he plays the role of a Ukrainian president BEFORE he was actually elected president?

Besides the AI being able to interpret the questions, which is the entire point of a language model, isn't this just the same as someone googling the answers to the exam?

Are people really OK with writing code in C# for data presentation? How is it fine having to compile code when you want to change a font colour for example? And just from looking at the examples you can see how quickly it becomes messy. It

I'm from your next door neighbour, Portugal. But I think that anyone that studies magic quickly realizes how amazing the Spanish scene is.

To add to this, Juan Tamariz paved the road for other great (and arguably better) spanish magicians to follow him, and it's worth watching them to see how different and amazing Spanish magic is. To name a few check Dani DaOrtiz, Mario

Definitely not many. How many people do you think there are in Europe? 4.6 million EUR would allow you to give 1€ to 1% of the entire EU population. On the other hand you can say that these VPs are in part responsible for the 2 trillion EUR

This needs to be higher. Zuck clearly said that Facebook got a general warning from the FBI regarding the elections, but didn't recall having a specific warning about the Hunter Biden story. Even with Joe Rogan trying to press on the i

NO2 is mostly generated from burning fuel, that's why in most of the countries in the map you only see yellow blobs over major cities due to higher car traffic, and almost no NO2 in rural areas. The major blob over central europe and s

This is probably an edge case, but I work in lab software that uses chemical symbols and having sub and super characters saves lots of headaches. I can just store "CO₂" in a database, query it, and display it back as a simple stri

An interesting thing in those numbers is that Ukraine captured more Russian vehicles than the ones that they lost. So Russian is in a way making the Ukrainian army bigger.

I think the problem is on the other direction. Austria is nowhere near Scandinavia.

Not my intention at all. To clarify, the law WAS awful, but when this was posted here on HN it was already announced that the only thing that PSD (opposing political party) was willing to approve was the use body-cams and wildfires surveill

That article is pure propaganda and not factually true. To give some background, the Portuguese government failed to get the annual budget approved, the president dissolved the parliament due to that, and scheduled new elections that will h

It's probably just an issue with trying to translate the original source. But the law uses the term "contact", so AP is correct.

The specifics aren't yet known, they only approved the generality of the law. But the news only mentions employers, so it doesn't seem like it will include co-workers. Also your example would be considered an infraction. Another r

You're partially right. Portugal is in the middle of a work culture change. For the last maybe 5 or so years, many tech companies have opened offices here, and with that they brought a better work/life balance, better salaries, be

This. This is the biggest reason why I don't use GIMP more often. The tooling is great, but the usability is atrocious. I would give them all the money for a UI overhaul.

There is a 0% chance that he would ever accept that sponsorship. We're talking about someone who is obsessed with health and performance, and the third most well paid athlete in the world. He even said recently that he is 36 years old,

Portuguese guy here to clarify. These are just addons to your regular package, they allow you to customize your plan according to your needs. The regular packages have different tiers that go anywhere from 500Mb to 10Gb of data included, wh
