Yup and that 0.5% is pretty darn flavourful.

When you really think about it, the concept of cuts must be something natural to our brains. People with a brand new technology, with no previous frame of reference seemingly gravitated towards this technique of representing changes. It makes sense it would be something our brains would find natural rather than unnatural.
Most things humans make we try to make in a way we find most comfortable. It's what the whole field of ergonomics is about. Mental ergonomics is just as important as physical ergonomics.
Kind of like that way early computer UI's are considered superior in regards to accessibility. There wasn't much prior to go on, they just made what felt natural and didn't make things unsettling.
There's many people that still praise early filmmaking even above modern effects filled blockbusters.
There's something to be said for the natural human instinct to make things comfortable and not unsettling.
Depends on what you plan to cook though, probably wouldn't add it if I was planning on cooking pancakes or something. But a stirfry or anything like that.
I agree there's a difference between the kind of question like the one above vs. something like 'Why isn't there a check in there before unpacking a record?'
The first question is basically 'Teach me stuff I should know' the second is more along the lines of 'Why do we do it this way?'
And there does come a limit, if after a month they're still asking the same questions, not really seeming to have learned anything, it's probably not going to change.
I dunno, really I guess it usually comes down to the person and I hate to say it but, how annoying I find the questions and the person's behaviour.
But I do think there's a difference. If a person generally asks a lot of questions, but there's clear signs of improvement and they're trying to pull their weight, then I really don't see it as a bad thing.
As long as you don't leave it sitting wet there should really be no problem with them.
Whatever the work is, the important thing is that it gets done, usually as efficiently and as good as possible. If it takes me explaining the same thing 3 times in a row to get something done properly the first time I'd rather do that than have to go back and fix things later.
And honestly, everybody starts somewhere, the best way to learn is by asking questions. If someone is asking me questions, it tells me they recognize they don't know everything, care enough to learn and are humble enough to ask for help.
Such qualities are rare in people and i've found every time, the people like that make the best employees and coworkers.
I was using Python 2 at the time. Python 3 was still relatively new. Not sure how much difference it makes for your example, but the import systems are different between 2 and 3.
>Nice weather means that the rest of frozen canada sends their local problem drunks on greyhounds to live
Sounds like what's happened in the town I live in over the last 2 years or so. The problem's gotten bad. Though it's not so much drunks but fentynyl and meth addicts.
There isn't really any software I use that can exist in its own sandboxed bubble separate from everything else.
I've experienced this several times trying Android ports of Linux software I use, they're usually lacking features or configuration folders are inaccessible because of Android's sandboxing and permissions.
The last thing I want is for my desktop to be that way too.
I really doubt he'd be able to maintain that lifestyle anywhere else. Definitely wouldn.t be able to live like that in Vancouver.
Yes this is called marketing. You'd think on a place like HN that espouses the virtues of capitalism above all else and is the very definition of corporate culture, what with being designed around creating startups with VC money, you'd think people on here would be wiser to the ways of corporate bullshit.
People on HN literally live that shit every day, yet are regularly surprised by the levels of bullshit international mega corps pull. I don't understand it. You people made this shitty world. Own it.
I'm sure if I'd taken the time to try and fix it I eventually could have and at this point i've had more experience with a bunch of different languages, so I'm sure it's not as bad as I remember.
I imagine it's one of those cases where if i were to go back and laugh about how stupid I was, but ya know, those first impressions.
I've been refused for having expired ID, despite the picture very obviously being me, and my age very obviously being well over the legal age.
My wife's been refused because apparently her federally issued citizenship card, with a photo that showed she was well over age wasn't apparently good enough.
I actually remember one time when i was fairly young, early 20's, I'd let my license expire because I wasn't driving and couldn't be bothered to renew it at the time. I got refused at the liquor store and there was an old guy behind me. He just started ranting at the cashier about how I'm obviously legal age and how you don't need a license to drink and all this stuff. The cashier actually relented and sold it to me after, but that old guy's rant always stuck with me since.
And, it's made me notice how more and more, it's not even about how old you are, it doesn't seem to be about protecting minors, it just seems to be a way of training people to provide ID any time regardless of the reason.
I ended up just giving up. I read programming in lua, and rewrote my entire project in lua and actually finished it.
Some day I'd like to go back and maybe learn Python but I really didn't enjoy my experience with it. I even found C headers easier to figure out than Python imports.
>Facebook is absolutely one of the best-positioned companies to be able to become a long-term market leader in these areas
I think the reason for the negativity is possibly because maybe a company that's managed to create a massive platform where reality is massively distorted and manipulated algorithmically to maximize ad revenue and engangement, whatever the quality or lack thereof, should not be a leader in trying to make the internet 'real life' or whatever you want to call having ar/vr avatars that will allow you to participate in the new virtual corporate consumer world.
Even if it's the same strain cloned from the previous crop it can be different in THC/CBD content depending on growing conditions and a number of things. Even the harvest date, the drying and the curing process will affect the final product.
The only GBA SNES port I've actually played is Final Fantasy 5, mostly for the new job classes it adds. But I noticed a lot of the things shown on the video. The audio was tinny, even on an emulator, the graphics looked brighter, more washed out.
I have to say though, I never realized there were so many GBA SNES ports. I knew about the Mario ones and the final fantasy ones and a few others, but didn't realize there was actually so many ports done.
The GBA was a pretty cool system. At the time though, I never actually thought of it as a pocket SNES. A lot of the actual GBA games didn't look like snes games. Most of them had a totally different style to them and played differently. It never really occurred to me until later that it was kind of like a pocket SNES.
Even by the end of the bachelor's program I took, it felt like I was kind of wasting money. As soon as teachers started trying to convince us to move on into the masters degree program, it was just a hard no from me. It would have cost the same as what I'd already paid for school, if not more and wasn't going to lead to a significant increase in job opportunities.
By the end of that last year, it had become a lot more clear the school was more about making money than anything else.
Everything from a person throwing a sandwhich at the drive through worker because her precooked ham was pink and therefore raw...people screaming and ranting because their over medium eggs, cooked on a 900° grill are too soft or too hard.
Getting screamed at because we were out of Schweppes tonic water, Nope, Canada Dry isn't the same, it had to be Schweppes, and only cans because the person was a solo drinker.
I was probably screamed at by random people more in the two years I spent at those jobs, 3 months at one and a bit over a year and a half at the other, than i have been in the entirety of the rest of my life.
Maybe they'll be able to use AI at some point and just detect when I'm writing the wrong combination of words together and preemptively block me from even writing things.
Even some games you'd think should work well with a controller don't really. Unepic's a 2d side scrolling action-adventure game, you'd think it'd be controller friendly, and there are console ports of it, but the PC version uses 10 hotkeys for various spells and abilities. I managed to map i think 4 or 5 of them to controller buttons, but it meant more going through the game menu and reassigning spells than it would have using a keyboard.
Most action games require at least 3 simultaneous inputs to be played effectively.
There's definitely workarounds like the ones you mention, but unless a game is actually made for touchscreen controls, as in optimized for no more than 2 simultaneous inputs, it's not going to be as playable on a touchscreen as it would be with anything else.
Unfortunately, some genres of game just aren't as suited to only 2 simultaneous inputs.
There's lots of fun touchscreen based games, but they're always better with game mechanics specifically suited to touchscreens.
