The L502X had the best keyboard and speakers of any laptop I've ever owned. It still has plenty of horsepower under Window 7 too, but everything has deprecated support for that OS. Maybe one day will install a flavour of Linux on it. It's too good to let go to e-waste!

Fair enough if you prefer to slog through an entire textbook. But for anyone else.. I can't recommend this series more highly, it was just amazing, no filler, pure step after step, explained methodically to the end goal.

Karpathy's series is many many hours long and really does take you from zero to GPT. It's excellent! You sound triggered by the title - that may not even be the official title - but it definitely deserves it. Go look it up.

Engineered obsolescence before the warranty even runs out, well played WD! /s

You are 100% correct, unsuccessful guys need to seek help and there are paid services out there. Or speak to a few women on these platforms (chicken-egg I know) and you will be told what others are doing that is turning them off. You need to treat this for what it is, marketing. You don't just put up your first attempt and say women aren't into me. You need to iterate and experiment. I know, it's hard work, 90% of guys won't put in the effort, they will just complain they aren't in the top 0.1% in attractiveness.

Unfortunately if you want to rank these days you have to implement these kind of things, or Google marks you site down as having poor performance. At least with a standard <img> attribute there is now a chance for a simple browser setting to turn the behaviour on/off/auto depending on connection type/etc.. unlike all of the various javascript solutions.

The Chrome extension store has you covered!

I am using one called "I don't care about cookies" and I rarely see them these days.

I was surprised to not find any product that could create a perfect static clone of the original, as far as maintaining the incoming link structure.

I know there would be a tonne of edge cases and obviously it would need to be targeted to a particular platform, but I think we came pretty close with this simple technique.

I recently had to do this and after a lot of frustration with wget, httrack and some other commercial ones too, I ended up settling on the results of this free product, WebCopy.

https://www.cyotek.com/cyotek-webcopy

Background: We couldn't keep the existing platform running, so had to transition to static html files.

I used the WebCopy scan log to create the apache rewrite rules to preserve the existing link structure.

Where I say WebCopy was better, it was this simple log, but also the file structure it was producing was much cleaner with less junk pages and duplicates. (the site was an absolute inconsistent mess to begin with)

If you only need to share a keyboard and mouse between Windows machines, then checkout Input Director, which works great! And is free for non-commercial use. I have no relationship with them, just a very satisfied personal user over many years.

I have switched to The Great Discarder, by the same developer.

Advantages over The Great Suspender: - More memory savings - Compatible with chrome tab syncing - Super lightweight extension that uses no content scripts or persistent background scripts

Disadvantages over The Great Suspender: - No visibility on which tabs have been suspended - Unable to prevent a tab from reloading when it gains focus

Maybe someone was listening, it's a fixed shot now. :-)

Very frustrating video, would it be too much to ask for just a still photo!

This is awesome - and long overdue!

Can't believe how expensive this data was.. at some point we discovered that the suburb boundary polygons could be hacked out of the census reports though!

Doh! missed that, thank you!

How did you find this url? I would like to get the community edition ISO url, but can only find the RC dated 4/27/2015, when searching download.microsoft.com.

Back when UE4 was first released I asked that question in relation to training simulations within larger courses and the answer was that, as no software was being sold, then no royalties would apply! (just the $20/mo subscription cost at the time) Definitely contact EPIC and get a ruling on your specific case, but I was blown away! In the end we didn't go ahead with those simulations as the html5 support wasn't quite ready at the time.

I have the Dell UP2414Q and it is the best display I have ever used!

The colors are fantastic as each unit is individually calibrated and checked at the factory.

The size of the screen at 24 inches is just right - any bigger and I don't think it would be comfortable for me to use. (for coding primarily) This was the smallest 4k display I could find available at the time.

There is only 1 slight problem, the monitor needs to be in DisplayPort 1.2 mode in order to run at 60 hz @ 4k resolution - and 60 hz is required, otherwise the mouse will feel jerky, even though I have a i7 4790 CPU and GTX 780 TI graphics card.

The problem is when in DP 1.2 mode and you run a game that uses a lower resolution, the image won't scale to fill the screen. It took a long time (and a lot of frustration) to figure it out, but you need to drop down to DP 1.1 mode - which drops your 4k Windows desktop refresh rate to 30 hz - and then the lower res will scale to fit the screen.

It is annoying that you need to do this, but at least it can be done on the fly, ie. about to play a game, then go into the monitor menu and disable DP 1.2, then run the game, no need to reset the computer.

Once you are in DP 1.1 mode, games will run full screen at lower resolutions up to 60 hz. Obviously this monitor isn't targeted at gamers.

Yep and I bet this guy was writing articles about the epic failure of tablet computing in the 2000's too...

I haven't seen the movie, but I had a very similar experience going from 25fps PAL CRT to full hd LED 100hz - all TV shows just looked amateurish and home made! That's how I would describe it. Eventually after a few months my eyes adjusted and now everything is back to normal.

For currency conversion just google like this.. "21000 yen to usd", "21000 yen to aud", etc..

I'd assume the device version + iOS version + device ID is sent in the request and Apple maps this to the corresponding Siri version/database/API.. there would be no technical reason why iOS 5 can't see the same POI's as 6, only whatever business policy Apple has decided to implement. eg. freezing updates to the 5's database.

I'm sure the back-end processing is the same, but because 6 supports or will support new commands, then they are running separate instances & databases which results in varying update schedules.

As long as they don't restrict based on device model (only iOS version) then I'm happy with that.

Thanks for the tip! I'd never heard of this show and the clip I just saw on YT was really-really funny!! :-D

Just IE s#%&ing over web standards like it always has!

Yep I used to use Digg before HN, but the experience, especially on mobile, just kept getting worse and worse!

Interesting.. 26 hrs flying time just to open a bank account is a little extreme.. but next time I am there on vacation I'll definitely be calling into a bank and giving this a go!

Yes.. this is an Amazon affiliate program, you will require a US credit card, US bank account and US postal address to join this program. ie. for when they pay you your commissions it needs to be reported.

If you are not from the US, these things are not easy to obtain.

And last I checked they wouldn't even allow me to buy Amazon PPC advertising without these things either!

I want to know how he was able to so easily become an affiliate on Amazon...? (As a fellow Australian) I tried a few years ago and Amazon wouldn't even allow me to purchase advertising (let alone join the affiliate program or sell) without having US tax numbers, bank accounts, etc.. I have an Australian pty ltd company and had to go through a third parties to get my products listed on there.

St George really is an exception! I've had all sorts of problems in the past with other banks. In recent times Bankwest has been great too, but St George wins for API's available if you need to do more than just accept payments on the web.

In most small to medium sized businesses and startups the developers and IT admins have access to absolutely everything!! Developers can see things and run reports that even the CEO cannot see. IT staff often have access to all the passwords and data of all of the users too. I'm certainly not saying its 'right', just this lack of security from internal staff is more the rule than the exception.
