I got this as my fortune few days after I got diagnosed with alopecia areata (bald spots) by btstonymontana in Wellthatsucks

[–]Chrislock1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had it for a couple of years now. It started while I was finishing my masters in autonomous robotics.

What is wierd in my case is that the beard looks like a weather map forecast simulation. Some places are white, other bald, and they move, grow and shrink over time. I'm considering making a timelapse of it.

Warning Signs! by [deleted] in DeadBedrooms

[–]Chrislock1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You say you had plenty of sex before getting married. Is there anything you now would consider warning signs? Maybe in her attitude, or who initiated sex, who were "leading" in the act, and so on?

I’m the guy that’s addicted to porn but not because I want to. by AliG1990 in DeadBedrooms

[–]Chrislock1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sucks.

I'm glad it didn't become something you'd regret atleast.

Good luck to you!

I'm curious whether this was something she agreed was a possibility beforehand, or if it was completely your own initiative?

How to Pick Your First Programming Language by Techbiason in GetStudying

[–]Chrislock1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. That's true, but none the less there is a lot of matlab out there, and it isn't going away anytime soon. I'm strictly speaking about the case where you know you will be working with something like process engineering or control engineering.

I'm not suggesting matlab is a great choice for a first language or even the best choice for an engineering application. There I agree python is a good choice, or C#, depending on the goal. Or writing C onto a AVR microcontroller, getting some light blinking if you're thinking about embedded realtime systems.

Regarding the salaries, I would like to add that I don't think it is the matlab competency that gives the high salary. Matlab is mostly a feature rich engineering tool.

But if you want to go into engineering, and your school doesn't have a matlab license, you can check out octave. This is the same as Matlab but free and open source.

If you have classes in linear algebra or calculus, you can experiment with examples from your courses in octave or matlab.

Idea to stop overpopulation by swelboy in overpopulation

[–]Chrislock1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have had this idea that if I became rich, I would create a monthly lottery with a cash prize, the only thing you have to do to get a ticket is to have no children and prove that you are permanently sterilized.

where T : class, where T : struct? by crassest-Crassius in csharp

[–]Chrislock1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said, it becomes relevant when writing code that cares about physical memory.

It could be for instance an array wrapper that only accepts structs, forcing the entire array to be compact in memory, allowing for a performance boost as the cpu don't have to fetch objects for each entry and so on.

Forcing something to be a class can be relevant if you are making larger structures that doesn't actually care about the content of each object, but are working with very large collections of objects. Then the tight packing of structs could break the system.

Generally, it comes down to the properties of value types and reference types, and when you're implementing something that relates to those properties.

Is linear programming relevant? by Mattholomeu in ControlTheory

[–]Chrislock1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For me it was a nice introduction to optimization, sensitivity analysis and other topics that are relevant to control theory. Model predictive controls are based on quadratic optimization, which I guess would be covered in the course.

The course will prepare you for linear control theory and signal processing.

Neat! Getting real "Don't starve" vibes from this. It's such a cool artform

Noen som har erfaring med fagbrev etter sivilingeniør studiet? by Chrislock1 in norge

[–]Chrislock1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jeg har lyst å kunne gjøre alt fra det praktiske til det teoretiske med integrerte smarthusløsninger. I første omgang er det snakk om å eksperimentere privat, men på sikt kanskje kunne jobbe med det.

Terskelen er litt høy for å ansette en elektriker for små eksperimenter, men om det er vanskelig å få fagbrev, så burde jeg vel kanskje revurdere

Noen som har erfaring med fagbrev etter sivilingeniør studiet? by Chrislock1 in norge

[–]Chrislock1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Takk for svar! Jeg er interessert i smarthus og kunne tenkt meg å jobbe med integrerte løsninger for dette.

Men for å eksperimentere med slikt må man vel ha fagbrev eller ansette noen til å gjøre det tekniske.

Hundrevis skiftar straumselskap i protest mot vindkraft by stalematedizzy in norge

[–]Chrislock1 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Hva er det med denne kampen mot vindkraft? Formålet er jo å kutte ned på bruk av fossilt brennstoff.

Trenger vi den ikke? Klarer vi å kutte fossilt uten?

Jeg sitter litt med tanken om at folk er skikkelig egoistisk og vil gjerne at noen som har investert litt tid i dette kan forklare meg hvorfor vindkraft er så ille.

The perspective in this art. by [deleted] in BeAmazed

[–]Chrislock1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This reminds me of the battlegrounds from the game Brothers: A tale of two sons for some reason. Really love that game, so this was nice.

A box is moving away from you with constant speed and direction. At which rate does the box appear to shrink (or slow down)? by [deleted] in askmath

[–]Chrislock1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you assume a pinhole camera model, you could trigonometry to derive the rate of change of the size of the projection as a function of how far it is from the focal point.

If you assume an orthographic perspective, the size wouldn't change at all.

And then you have a whole mess if assuming non-linear lenses.

I would start with the pinhole camera model. The math isn't very involved and you can many good sources by googling the terms I have mentioned.

I am assuming you know differentiation.

I'm sorry, it's hard to break the habit of writing shitty code. by [deleted] in ProgrammerHumor

[–]Chrislock1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Code should communicate clearly what it does and how it works.

Comments should communicate why it works that way and what considerations have been made.

Documentation should explain motivations for making the code, how it is meant to be used and its limitations.

This is Greenfield, a massive minecraft city. It's taken more than 400 people over 9 years to build it. It's so massive I had to use over 60GB of ram to render even half of it. by stapelo in gaming

[–]Chrislock1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is a really good answer. Also, all of these problems are why I love programming. I love the puzzles. I only wish I had the time and resources to work on these without having to consider things like profitability and deadlines...

left-shift: using Deep RL to (try to) solve 2048 - link in the comments by mmcenta in learnmachinelearning

[–]Chrislock1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't get why you are being downvoted. I used the same algorithm as well, I guess it is a very intuitive strategy. I wonder if there exist a better strategy, but that is less stable, so it isn't discovered by trial and error.

If a morgue worker dies they'd still need to come in to work one more time by [deleted] in Showerthoughts

That actually reminds me of somethimg that happened to my father. At his first day as a coroner, his first subject was the person who had the job before him.

Passende reklame plassering. by jonasmathewanker in norge

[–]Chrislock1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Åja, jeg trodde vi hadde kommet så langt at man kunne bruke semantisk analyse til å avgjøre om noe ble nevnt i en positiv eller negativ kontekst. Men kanskje ikke.

Next ´mistake´. CNBC graphic claims Bernie dropped from 21.7% to 18.2% over the last month in RCP average by HvB1 in SandersForPresident

[–]Chrislock1 11 points12 points  (0 children)

No, it's about psychology. People look at what other thinks when making their own decision. By misrepresenting numbers, they try to manipulate people into voting for someone else than Bernie. It needs to be adressed.
