The number of people who claimed to wish they could change their vote after the result was surprising. How many referendums do we need before people decide they've voted "properly"?
I agree with this. It's fine to teach machine learning using the iris dataset, but there is rarely, if ever, a section dedicated to "real" problems. It was a shock to me just how high a percentage of time is spent cleaning data. It is a fundamental skill that is not only underestimated but "undertaught".
That seems odd because if I happen to be browsing from abroad I might be put off by the shipping costs, which would turn out not to even be accurate for the destination I want.
> They want to factor shipping into the price transparently from the start
I guess if they made it obvious that that's what they were doing (stating their assumption about your destination) it would be fine.
Hmm interesting, I hadn't thought of looking at the scripts and such, thanks for the heads up. I do like the interface (the distraction-free and Hemingway modes as someone else mentioned) but I don't like the idea of my data being leaked. A desktop-based approach for drafts might make more sense as you say.
Came here to post a similar story. Played the piano for many years, hated practising and performing at recitals, eventually stopped complaining it was too much effort. Now I wish I had a solid foundation to build on as I've stared playing again. All that music theory and practising of scales would be really useful now.
Having said that, it's never too late to pick it up again!
This is underrated advice that applies to any household chore. I like cooking for the sake of cooking but the time spent on it feels wasteful. If I put on an educational podcast I suddenly don't mind the time I spend cooking/washing dishes/whatever.
For me the difference between an open plan office and a coffee shop is direct interruptions. I can drown out the ambient noise of a coffee shop and get into flow when coding. In an office, people walk up to you/phone you/whatever which is a direct distraction "aimed" at you specifically, which is much more jarring and difficult to ignore.
> those are NOT allowed to film anything facing away from the premises
Makes sense, but any idea how they verify this? Would someone report a camera they think is facing outwards and this would be investigated? Or are there random checks?
Yeah when I notice it getting hot I usually reboot to kill any background processes. Typically what happens is I put it away and pick it up half an hour later only to see that it's dropped like 10% battery. My next smartphone purchase will be almost entirely based on battery life.
I have to agree. I should have learned my lesson after the Galaxy S2 Mini I had, but I went and got the S4 Mini anyway. I regret it now - after 18 months it barely lasts a day with me not doing much with it and gets very hot. Last Samsung I bought for a long time, that's for sure.
It's a testament to their database that many young players who are good these days were good on FM years ago (with some notable misses of course as well... Freddy Adu, I'm looking at you...)
What's the latest version you've tried? I've always enjoyed FIFA even knowing it's an arcade-y approximation of the real thing. These days though, players don't run "on rails" like they used to, and everything feels a lot less jarring. Same for PES (or better depending on your faction). I still play with a niggling feeling of "this isn't quite right" but enjoy it enough to play it anyway.
I'd argue experience as a programmer in other languages (say Ruby) but little to none experience in the language of the offer isn't a junior. Even if you start out in a "new" field with a different stack, the experience in other languages is transferable knowledge.
> I find driving a lot more relaxing than public transport
+1 from me. Public transport in London is a nightmare during rush hour, I'd happily trade that for an equivalent drive. Probably wouldn't be (much?) more expensive either.
Even so, that can be reduced to twice a day if you cook in batches (i.e. have leftovers for lunch). That seems more optimal to me without compromising the healthy aspect.
Not just Hungary, most of Europe outside of the UK seems to do this. I remember finding it a bit odd the first time I had to sift through developer CVs and most of them had photos.
I agree with this being a good way to do it. As a user a barrage of emails is a turn-off, especially the "I see you haven't used X yet" emails. I get why they need to be sent, but I still find them a bit too intrusive.
I succumbed to the Messenger app and the first thing it did was message a random handful of my friends to say I've joined Messenger... instant uninstall. Now I also just use the web client and if I want to read my messages on my phone I can do that by requesting the desktop site.
OK, I can understand that. Does that however not come with the assumption that we can solve that problem quickly when it does come about (assuming we can calculate roughly when we run out of fossil fuels)? I don't know how much evidence there is out there that that's the case.
I agree about unproductive rhetoric, and my question wasn't aimed at you specifically, I was just wondering out loud about the opposite viewpoint. The focus of the climate discussion in general should definitely be more towards the points you raised, I'm just curious about people who don't think it's even a discussion worth having.
