Thanks! I’m not too impressed with the build structure of the 480s compared to my M4800. It’s a shame that screw sizes seem to be non-standard.

lol and the exact reason I haven’t pushed in too hard. As it’s a new laptop to me (and my current laptop is an aluminium tank) I’m not used to the max forces that can be applied before things get to the ‘upset’ stage!

yeah, gots to love mate. i use it for pretty much all the reasons listed above.

Your question should be, ‘why does anyone need social media’?

Kindly make it 65. Thanks

What advantage does Octave / Matlab have over say python and matplotlilb? Jupyter notebook would offer a more interactive experience if necessary.

This experiment was not specifically about whether a kid would wait for the second marshmellow or not (which would be delayed by 20+ minutes), nor whether they would play with the roomful of toys, but to see how they grew up. The real test was to catch up with the adults and see how ‘successful’ they’d become. The experimenters found that those children who waited for the second marshmellow achieved higher grades and had more ‘successful’ better-paying careers.

It’s the concept of delayed rewards vs immediate rewards and is prevalent in the world of machine learning.

And it’s crap like this that gives junior programmers justification to output god-awful code because they don’t want to better themselves.

Birds are not real.

I agree, but subversion is awesome!

Or… play free retro games on a £50 trimui (linux handheld) from aliexpress!

The PDF was/is a closed-source propriety file format.

If you really wanted to leave the Apple eco-system, it would most likely be possible to run macos in an emulator (kvm/qemu) on a pc and most likely the software too.

forget me not, i think on f-droid may be an option. it’s fairly easy to make data files for, and you could easily ask your favourite llm to wrap some data into the format.

Good stuff. I always thought the image was being used in a nefarious way but haven’t had time to investigate

I considered an accounting SaaS once. Only once though. The amount of constantly changing regulations would make it a very high maintenance project.

No flavour of Linux works well with them. That’s the joke or something.

I remember installing Debian before Ubuntu was born using an ncurses type interface and spending five minutes selecting the packages I want to install, (only for it to tell me that one package was incompatible with another and the installation couldn’t proceed!) but being able to do it somewhat graphically made it so much easier than simply by text.

An OS stays out of your way and lets you do what you need to do. Having to essentially create the basics is unproductive and a waste of the user’s time.

I get this, but an IDE should be invisible and grow as you do and not require you to learn lots of janky things before it becomes a little bit useful for you.

Need the basics, great, here they are. Don’t understand some advanced feature? Well the IDE has it here, but it isn’t in your way, mess with it as and when you want. It’ll still be there.

I don’t think one IDE does everything for different languages and its ok to swap editors depending on your workflow, your project and your ever-changing skillset.
