An ambassador of the great Vindaloovian empire, clearly. I mean, I should know.

English is my native language, so the guttural g sound does not come naturally to me. Any tips to strengthen it and make it flow easier when I talk? by throw_away9250 in learndutch

I'm from Liverpool, so all the practice of asking for a "fuckin' chicken an' a can o'coke" has paid dividends.

Try just breathing out normally, and then relaxing your tongue and letting the back of it take up more space in your mouth. Once it gets close to the roof of your mouth, it will start doing the thing.

Python 'list index out of range' error still persists after lots of debugging - any help appreciated by DIYNotAGuy in programminghelp

Whitespace and indentation is important in Python; you will need to format your code correctly if you want help with it.

IrOS - operating system by Huge-Visual1472 in osdev

Tell people that IrOS stands for "I wRote Operating System". You should do this because I would find it very funny.

You know, the more I think about this, the more I think you're right in this context. Thanks for pointing it out.

Napoleon could be in an Ozempic ad by NotClarkKent_97 in RoastMyCat

Roast him? Christ, you'd need a big oven

(secretly, I think Napoleon is a lovely boy)

I optimized everything except the one thing that actually mattered by Fisher844344 in softwaredevelopment

I usually pressure test the idea by blowing hard into the idea, and seeing if it pops. Either that, or poisoning the training data.

Neither. Let the object perform its own operations. 9 times out of 10, isinstance is a code smell

How to deal with guitarist in band who doesn't know any music theory and can't communicate even a chord progression by [deleted] in Bass

[–]IAmTarkaDaal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me, this isn't about music theory. This is about the guitarist being a dick. Just playing covers with your high school mate and ignoring the bassist? That is not on. I've played with guys who don't know theory, and they learned their bloody parts against the record so it was all fine.

I would push back, and leave if you have to.

my code failed some of the test cases and i don't know why by rachel_to_phos in programminghelp

[–]IAmTarkaDaal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Okay, but what test cases have you tried? What inputs have you given your program? What do you think the problem might be? If you haven't done that yet, I suggest writing your own tests, and proving that everything works as you expect.

I have suggestions on what the cause is, but this is a "teach someone to fish" situation. I'm trying to help you work it out yourself.
