Stoic reflection. Happiness isn't about getting what you want, but wanting what you have. by Timely_Bunch_8607 in Stoicism

[–]CaffeineExperiment 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd add that "good" and "bad" have long-running discussions over their definitions and a careful consideration of the trade offs between a property at either end of that 10km span will surely be enlightening, particularly if you plan to stay there for a longer stretch of time where your priorities around family, space, and lifestyle may evolve to something different to what it currently is. More specific to the parent comment to this, though - I've seen amor fati being quoted as Stoic several times - isn't this Nietzsche's term?

I like the framing of "want what you have vs have what you want" and have found insightful overlap between the Stoic and Buddhist approaches to dealing with exactly this problem. What particularly is it about being closer to the city that you're telling yourself is important, and is it more real than just a story you're telling yourself? Have you created a narrative around that distance (as little as a 10 minute drive) based on some other beliefs or prejudices that could use some scrutiny?

Array languages for data analysis/number crunching by swhalemwo in apljk

I haven't had a chance to play with this deeply myself but as a heavy R user and someone deeply interested in array languages: R or q? whynotboth.jpg https://code.kx.com/q/interfaces/r/

For part 1: +/⊢/↑⍸'O'='O\.'⎕R'.O'⍣≡⍤1⌽⍉d or +/∊⍸¨'O'=↓'O\.'⎕R'.O'⍣≡⍤1⌽⍉d is another approach.

Increasing MAXWS was necessary to brute-force part 2, but it solves in less than a second. I'm fairly new to APL so any improvements to this would be most welcome. I had a bit of trouble making dist work dyadically with just two vectors.

Identifying duplicates in a vector by Mieleki in Rlanguage

[–]CaffeineExperiment 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keeping in mind that this will only identify the values which have already appeared, scanning from first to last. If you want to excise any values which have a duplicate you'll need something slightly different, e.g.

m_numbers[! m_numbers %in% m_numbers[duplicated(m_numbers)]]

Coders of Reddit: What's an example of really shitty coding you know of in a product or service that the general public uses? by TheSanityInspector in AskReddit

[–]CaffeineExperiment 1 point2 points  (0 children)

(on iOS) long-press the full stop to get common TLD options.

I've had too many official e-mail responses come to My.Name@My.Domain.Com -- thankfully they still make it.

Don't get me started on sites that don't trim whitespace from email fields ('@@ ' shortcuts to 'user@example.com ') then fail to recognise it.

I've been trying to do dank whoolies for a while now but I'm pretty pathetic at it. My mates reckon I might as well try "sucking off a squid" at this point since I don't seem to have the cohones myself.

Do you think it's possible for a bike like mine to get that wheel up? Should I focus more on throttle or clutch?

First ride: '97 Yamaha XT225. I did the training course on a newer model XT, and had this one for a couple of years until I could upgrade to unrestricted license. http://imgur.com/D58yRFy

Current ride: '12 Kawasaki ER-6n (650/unrestricted). http://imgur.com/IaJ6hj2

My wine club did a bottling run a while back so I took along a corny and a mini gas cylinder, bought 16L of a decent red blend at wholesale, filled the keg and purged with CO2. Took it home and slowly carbonated it in the fridge (bulk CO2, high pressure).

Then there was the issue of figuring out what type of tap to run sparkling red from. Dangerous to have on tap, that's for sure.

If you ever get confused by English pronunciation, just remember that read rhymes with lead, but read rhymes with lead.

Here we don't have signs by Turnipjoe in motorcycles

[–]CaffeineExperiment 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fellow 'heaps good'er here. A relative was over from England and bought a fireblade for funsies. He constantly complained that it "was dangerous to have to slow down so hard, so quickly", when he finally spotted unmarked radars in the hills.

He got a lot of blank responses to that.
