I have a problem where Voice Isolation partially cancels out my voice, especially when background noise is pronounced, and actually makes calling a worse experience for both parties. Whenever I'm on a call outside, with my AirPod Pro&#

fyi GP’s post is sarcasm. In UK “rail replacement bus” means the train route is cancelled and there’s a replacement bus instead. Bus networks can work over small high density areas. Johannesburg has been building a bus network with exclusiv

> As an aside, I really wish the VSCode team did more to integrate iPython REPL more seamlessly into VSCode as that is one of the big blockers for me to using VSCode for anything Python related. VS recently made big changes to notebooks

This is great news to see. I’ve spent a considerable amount of time in Milan. It is one of my favourite cities, although the pollution is noticeable. Something else I’m hoping this plan will improve is noise pollution. Thanks to the ubiquit

Am EV over a fuel burning car is huge improvement, however EV’s alone are not a sustainable solution to our transport needs. There needs to be mass transit and wider adoption of cycling/walking in more towns and cities. EV’s are still

Take a walk through Hyde Park or Green Park round about now and you’ll smell intense, sweet aromas signifying spring turning into summer: sweet chestnuts, lime trees and hawthorns.

I use Firefox Focus on mobile which lets you reset your entire browser and cookie history with one click. It also has some built-in tracking protection and content blocking. While it doesn’t solve the issue of add-ons, it has enough of a pr

It’s just gym equipment that’s designed to be durable outdoors. Kind of like jungle gyms but for adults. I’ve seen it in Cape Town, Milan, London, Auckland and always they are busy.

Part of the issue is that the harms of gender bias (and other types of bias) should not need to be made explicit, but part of the research canon. Should a security researcher outline the harms of an attacker obtaining user credentials, or i

Exactly. When I was a beginner I made off-by-1 errors (in Python mind you) all the time. Now that I iterate directly through arrays or use map-reduce patterns I rarely have to handle the index itself.

You can also use VS Code notebooks and Julia support in VS Code keeps getting better. As a newcomer to Julia I am super impressed with the experience. No getting around loading the Plots package but producing a high quality plot and getting

Is it just me but the way things are currently stacked, human insight is still the best line of defence? The OP and other anecdotes in the comments are examples why we’re not quite at “AI vs AI” yet

Statistics is a science as well. Unfortunately it’s overloaded in business terms and can mean anything from “knows means and regressions” to “has a copy of _Meyn and Tweedie_ on their shelf”.

If only ‘race’ was such an innocuous attribute, and couldn’t be used to discriminate against or harm others, like ‘nike shoes’. Unfortunately history and present day experiences say otherwise. And I’m not talking about the shoes.

This is why a standard API is needed, like Open Banking in the UK. When I use a third party app, the access request is redirected to my bank app and authorisation is granted there. At this point it is explicit what data the third party will

On the other hand, Plaid’s behaviour means that your data is not yours either, but is up for grabs by a 3rd party for which you may not have given consent to. Plaid is no Robin Hood (the story not the app) here.

IANAL but in South Africa the Constitution and Bill of Rights specifically outline limitations and how rights interact. So for example, it is explicit that freedom of expression cannot limit another’s freedom to practice their religion [2].

In South Africa we’re taught from a young age that while everyone has a “right to x”, codified in the Bill of Rights, each right comes with a “responsibility”. My “right to free speech” should not limit your “right to religion” or your “rig

I've never been to Boston but the description you give sounds a lot like London to me. Within the M25 (inner ring), London is mostly 2-3 story terraced houses with a few apartment buildings (don't think they go bigger than 8 stori

Would say London is a very good example of this as well, provided you're within the M25 (still a massive area though)
