Some people do not realize that they're in a parasocial relationships with content creators like streamers and youtubers and feel that it is reasonable to have expectations. For me, applying your argument, that there is some responsibi

This is nice! I looked into this quite a lot some years back when I was trying to summarize IKEA catalogs using color and eventually wrote an R package if you want to look into an alternative to e.g. k-means: https://github.com&#

I've spent some time thinking about this earlier as this indeed is one way a teacher would introduce a young child to programming (but by using actual bread, pb and j). An important underlying question is why kids would learn programmi

Same in Sweden! One of the public radio channels (P2) had some nighttime shows with Commodore 64 programs. I can't remember if it was purely BASIC programs or just loaders using data statements for machine code. Seems really impractica

My experience too. Early Spotify had the best music and I could find pretty much everything I liked, plus excellent recommendations. I don't think it was that the music I liked was particularly obscure or anything, it was just that it

I can definitely see the use case as it is annoying having to choose between actively looking at participants of a meeting on screen or _appear_ to look at the participants by gazing into the camera and not actually looking at them. I somet

Like others have said, get a used Sony a6000 (or higher model, try to get one where the screen can be swiveled to point forward). If you expect to be sitting close to the camera, you can't go wrong with a Sigma 16mm 1.4 lens. If you ha

Can’t speak for others but I use it in the context of a web app that really needs to be full screen on a mobile and that is delivered by/connects to embedded hardware without internet access.

Not an answer to parent comments, just wanted to emphasize that coming from "somewhere else" <=/=> invasive. Not an expert so there are likely edge cases but one example would be a meadow where many different plants gro

Side note: In Sweden, Harry has once again become a quite popular name for children. My two-year old is named Harry and out of 15 kids at Kindergarten, there are two Harry :)

Wikipedia has some more information on the issue: "By the end of October 2016, before its official release and after only three pre-release screenings in September 2016 at the Toronto International Film Festival to small audiences, IMD

(OT) I use that feature all the time when I know the name of, say, a mathematical term in one language but not in another.

It took me a while to understand why there was such a tricky character as semicolon in the first unit. On a Swedish keyboard, I think it's equivalent to typing the < key on a US keyboard (and the left shift key on a Swedish keyboard

Also, it's visual in the sense that both parties can easily verify that it is the correct amount and avoids any "…but I thought I gave you five quarters…".

True. If I remember Hattie correctly, he argues something akin to that reducing class sizes is mostly a political move (it's certainly not research based) — and after spending huge amounts of money on that — there is no political incen

The extensive research by John Hattie shows that reduced class sizes has a small but positive effect on student achievement but relative to other factors, it is very inefficient: http://visible-learning.org/hattie-ranking-in

Same for me with regular glasses but reading glasses for far-sightedness is another issue as you can't put them on temporarily while driving.

by lemonad 12y ago
By conventional means, do you mean reading glasses? Observing people needing/using them, to me it seems like a hassle and definitely not a solution that most are satisfied with. The video mentions both the GPS and speedometer as potent

For those who are not familiar with CC — and since most of the comments so far refer to speech-to-text — CC is more than regular subtitles. CC often displays contextual information such as what kind of music is played and how it's played (s

The amount of cooling needed is not constant over time (cf. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decay_heat ), which is one of the reasons passive cooling systems are designed for days rather than weeks. The first seconds/minutes are the most crit

I think some of the arguments in the video depend much on how tightly invention is defined. Personally, I'd say that even if all components on a circuit board were already individually invented by someone else, as well as the process of com

Yes, and to make Django even more safe, a number of improvements have been made over the last year (e.g. https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/15367 ).

It certainly is. Not that I think it is a derivative but to some extent it is what Douglas Rushkoff argues in his book Program or Be Programmed (2010): "In a digital age, we must learn how to make the software, or risk becoming the software

It would be interesting to know what data they use for these kinds of assessments outside the given ones for the course, that is the best 6 homeworks out of 8 account for 30% of the grade, the midterm for 30% and the final exam for 40%.

I found it a bit odd that writes for linux went down from 22MB/s to 17MB/s when Windows writes went way up from 13MB/s to 34MB/s. This at the same time as read performance went up to 27MB/s for both systems. Edit: Seems like it's a regressi
