there's a very big difference between trying to become profitable and making a change that forces every 3rd party app to shutdown within 30 days because of an asinine price hike on their API

The transparency has been horseshit from spez and the other admin. As it's been pointed out, when Apple bought Dark Sky, 30 months were given to anyone using the API to adjust to the new landscape. These 3rd party apps that have been around longer than Reddit's app were given 30 days. And that doesn't even take into account the finger-pointing and immature behavior Spez threw at Christian (the Apollo app-maker)

I work at AMS currently, this is so interesting!

Highly recommend this documentary, one of my favorites

I just recently built my first PC and the amount of games available to play was pretty overwhelming

It's also really hard to know which genres you like when you basically start from scratch. After about 1.5 years, I can't get enough of the narrative-driven games.

I'm thinking I need to try out some more roguelikes for trial and error. I have 50m logged into Hades and it's pretty good, but idk really doesn't seem like my thing. But at first I thought I wouldn't love platformers at all, then I played the first Ori and finished it, now have 9 hours in Hollow knight and just started Celeste.

It's been a fun journey, gonna look into the reccs posted here and see if roguelike is my thing

I 100% want iTunes. I like to listen to live music and Streaming services are pretty shit at archiving concerts.

Also, on my work laptop, I used to be able to connect my iphone through USB and use iTunes to play my music without having to sync or have the physical WAV on my machine

Now with the new Music app, I can't browse my music. I just recently had to upgrade to Catalina so maybe i'm missing something but i'm pretty pissed at that change

that's cool and all. but you don't understand how much the membership pays for itself with just gas alone

Right now my Costco has gas 50c less than any place around me

hey fellow arborite

fuck xfinity. AT&T fiber at my apartment is 300+ mbps up for half the price of comcast's 75+ i've been using last 6 years

This is why when I do order from Doordash, I only tip in cash and make sure to write it in the comments.

Still the best online delivery by me even if they are a shit company. Hate Grubhub more.

I constantly find myself duplicate lines in vim (shift+y). You've never had to edit a line that's really similar to another?

Or when debugging, I don't want to change the old code, so I copy the line, comment it out, and work with the duplicated line.

You've never had to do that?

yeah I downloaded Dock to display my dock and esc key at all times.

Thank you for the tip. Knew you could use the slider but thought you actually had to be on dot, feel so dumb. Never tried sliding in place!

my 2015 Pro is so much better than mycompany 2017 Pro w/ touchbar

like people are saying, most people just don't care about the touchbar. It does get annoying at times (as a vim user). Why WHY do they hide the esc key and have it take two inputs to increase the volume/brightness by more than 1 tick (sliding is terrible).

Other than that, I totally agree, the real focus should be the keyboard. Because it's shit. Here aresome of the awesome problems I go through on a daily basis at work.

- space bar double spaces all the time. Turned off key repeat and also whatever other suggestions I could find on Stack

- backspace deletes too many characters

- keys double type or are just not responsive (space, left shift, fucking / for some reason)

yeah, real fun using it especially while I'm on call right now and working on prod servers!! WORK ON THE KEYBOARD APPLE

reminds of the Computerphile Tom Scott video "The Problem with Time & Timezones"

and why I will never implement datetime myself

your friend is lucky. I accepted an offer from AWS with top-level security right out of college.

They asked if I smoked in the last year. Dumbass young me says yes but it was ~6 months prior.

Offer revoked

Man really? I personally love the Python OpenCv Wrapper.

From a stack-overflow (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13432800/does-performanc...)... "I remember I read somewhere that performance penalty is <1%, don't remember where. A rough estimate with some basic functions in OpenCV shows a worst-case penalty of <4%".

I'm working on a project that downloads a 2 hour video, frame by frame. Then after, I run image detection on a photo or multiple photos against every single one of those frames.

My code was slow as shit at first. I decided to profile and realized the only speed hog was SIFT's detectAndCompute(). It was taking ~.5s for each frame passed to the algorithm.

So I ended up trading memory for speed and now create huge PyTables loaded with every single frame's KeyPoints and Descriptors. I do this when I first download the videos frames and even though that takes a while, I can now run image detection against 6000 frames (100 minutes) with however many photos in about (24 minutes).

Point is, even just using the built-in cProfile helped a lot because there was only one function that was truly affecting my python. Other than that, I love the python translation. I'm surprised you have memory problems though. OpenCV always murdered my CPU's but never was really memory intensive
