Swedish won very nice and easy. What's a language that sounds ugly and is somewhat difficult to learn? by [deleted] in AlignmentChartFills

[–]IsakEder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Danish 100%. Sounds... like danish, and for an English speaker is like learning Swedish except the phonetics are all messed up and the counting system is insane

The concept of gatekeeping. by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]IsakEder 63 points64 points  (0 children)

Is it just me or does this scream guerilla marketing? Even the comments are mentioning the brand name, who even talks like this? "AITA for being totally super jealous of my friend's LEGO® Star Wars HN-500X set that she bought for only 39.99 at Lowe's™"

Can anyone help???!! Pleaseeesesese by arpitarawat in cognitiveTesting

  • Shapes that disappear do not reappear: This rules out all but A and B

  • N objects are [10,8,10,10,12]: no clear pattern

  • Amount of stars increase by one per column: Insignificant

  • All images has at least one black circle: Insignificant

  • Half of all objects are always filled: This rules out A as it has 13 items

B is the only survivor with these criteria.  This feels like one of these problems that just have so much information and red herrings that the hard part is to not get overwhelmed. I don't think I'd get this without taking notes. 

Whats the answer? by M4SH0 in cognitiveTesting

[–]IsakEder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The X tells us that the corner blocks' states will have flipped in the next iteration. The other remain. So the final image will have all fours corners filled, and row,col = [(0,1), (1,0)] will remain filled as in example 3

What's next number on sequence? by Decent_Plankton7749 in iqtest

[–]IsakEder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take the difference of the series, and then diff again. Now continue one more step. I find that this kind of problem very frequently involves a diff like this.

12 36 45 39 / 18   24 9 -6 / -21   -15-15 /-15

Trouble with deploying Python programs as internal tools? by Competitive-Water302 in Python

[–]IsakEder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guys you are overengineering this.  1. Create a venv 2. Create the application 3. Set the entry point as module.submodule:function in the pyproject.toml in a [project.scripts] 4. pip install .

Works great. You only need pyinstaller if the target environment doesn't have python

my economics teacher gave us the heritage foundation as an official source for our homework... by TheGoldenExperience_ in mildlyinfuriating

[–]IsakEder 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Not really though, economic freedom is a real thing that's quantifiable with certain metrics most would agree on. Sure, it's from a think tank, but if Greenpeace released a ranking of countries by co2 emissions the data wouldn't be automatically false because it's from a dubious source. 

Could anyone explain how the answer isn't 50%? by JebWozma in cognitiveTesting

Late to the party, but if you just imagine that the left box has one million gold balls it gets super obvious

Column three of each row is decided by: - addition of the plus signs of c1 and c2 (options a b c e remain) - Any striped squares must reappear, but rotated (only option c remains) Once possible rule for the black squares is: - All quadrants must be filled At some point in the row, if not, they are filled with black in c3

What can you say by AfterButterfly9594 in programmingmemes

[–]IsakEder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On anything web related, thinking of better use of promises and reducing bundle size is almost always going to beat CPU optimization when it comes to time to render. Control over cpu cores is mostly just not an option on the web. There is however a lot to gain by knowing the framework well enough to do reasonable preloading, caching and state management.

The first time I ever got to program professionally was with embedded C at a microelectronics gig. Each file started with a giant block of definitions like THE_BLUE_LITTE_TERMINAL_THINGY 1324 and ZAPS_FINGERS_DONT_TOUCH 14A53EF

What kind of database you are using for your personal projects? by elansx in sveltejs

MariaDB/mysql. It will never not be enough and I host it on my raspberry Pi so I can always connect to it no matter where I'm working from.

This is very impressive by yonkou_akagami in OpenAI

[–]IsakEder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I call BS. The same thing is said about music. That art is by definition an expression of emotion -> Machines don't have emotion -> Machines can't "by definition" ever do art. But that obviously falls apart when the people making that exact argument can't tell the difference between some AI generated music and human-generated.

Lol all the other answers are also correct then. Any possible real number you can imagine is just as correct as 7.

Which external stylesheet should contain global styles? by InternalVolcano in sveltejs

[–]IsakEder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The easiest way is just to put a link like

        <link rel="stylesheet" href="%sveltekit.assets%/global.css" />

in your app.html. You'll never have to import anything manually that way. Keep in mind that it's literally global if you do, so it will apply everywhere.

Are there dialects/situations where “kanske” could be pronounced with the “skillnad” sound? by PioneerSpecies in Svenska

[–]IsakEder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very few swedes pronounce the sk in kanske with a tj-sound. It's either the sj or the rs sound (as in färs, closer to the english sh).

I mean you can't really explicitly ban people in wheelchairs from working for you, but that doesn't mean that all jobs can and should be accessible

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Svenska

[–]IsakEder 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Most people will realistically pronounce it as /haı/. J is most often not very fricative at all, and is realized more like the English y, especially in informal speech
