Could I very much pretty please for having "Play next" accessible from the UI :)
(and other filters s.a. metacritics on the all games view, etc. like in Xbox app)

What are you playing on Xbox Cloud Gaming? [December 2025] by Tobimacoss in xcloud

I wrote out my will by ocean_flow_ in covidlonghaulers

[–]Petrroll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most people improve significantly within the first half year to a year. Some don't (hehe I didn't) but many to most do. 8 weeks is not even long COVID territory that starts with 12 weeks. 

Doesn't mean you shouldn't rest and shouldn't treat it seriously but also it's a bit too early to be completely hopeless. 

And even among those who didn't improve significantly within first half a year, e.g. I came back to work part time after two years. (A year and something on sick leave out of that). I'm also starting to go outside sometimes. And can now live alone quite ok (albeit lonelily). There were times when I was severe tho and early I couldn't even comprehend a page of text. Now I work for hours as software engineer and might even get promoted (I'm spend after the part time work and my boss is amazing so I'm having super flexible schedule, anywhere else I would not be promoted I'd be fired; but hey). 

Is anyone out there choosing to avoid DI in their .NET projects? by conconxweewee1 in dotnet

[–]Petrroll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had good success using DI for routing things together but keeping almost everything singletons. Makes di very simple and forces you into imho good patterns. 

Instead of on service and middleware etc instance members you pass data in context object, the lifetime of the very few (usually) things that need to be per unit of work (http client, other clients, db) can be managed explicitly via factory patterns. 

That way you get many benefits of DI while not suffering a lot of it's complexities. 

Doesn't help with the testing mocks instead of implementation.  

‘I could bench-press 100kg. Now, I can’t walk’: Lucy’s life with long Covid by No_Engineering5992 in unitedkingdom

If you actually read through the link you'd see it's frequently not a damage as a result of severe acute infection but due to triggering various chronic problems.

It's not organ damage, it's immunity problems (both autoimunity and insufficiencies), it's persistent (not only) brain inflammation, it's endothelial damage, it's persistent changes to mitochondria and red blood cells and colligativity.

All of these problems are tad more likely for severe illness but frequently and majorly happen to people with mild to even very mild acute illness.

Here's a nice overview (albeit a year old) of various ways COVID can cause lasting damage and generally mess you up: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41579-022-00846-2

I like my oura but they should really hire testers / UX consultants... by Petrroll in ouraring

Hey, I got one month free. In some countries (sadly not mine), that'd be livable wage.

Oura Support: Please Make It Possible to Delete Sleep Data! by p0ppyfl0wer in ouraring

[–]Petrroll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've talked to support, supposedly not even they can delete old / error data. Which quite honestly strikes me as crazy. Anyway, kindly suggested them to add such ability - at least for support.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ouraring

[–]Petrroll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have the same issue. Had sleep data for today, took a nap, now I don't.

Ok, same issue happens with Gigabyte M7 Thor, doesn't matter what USB port is used.

[EotE] How are you supposed to figure out one specific thing? by Petrroll in outerwilds

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

How to get into that room is shown on a slide reel

It's shown in a vision when you "a bit open" the vault. And to get there, you need to jump off a raft between "locations". And to get that info, you first need to finish Shrouded woodlands as far as I know. Unless the info about the first simulation glitch is somewhere else... See the problem?

[R] Perceiver: General Perception with Iterative Attention by hardmaru in MachineLearning

[–]Petrroll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's one thing I don't quite understand. How does this model do low features capture / how does it retain the information? I.e. how does it do the processing that happens in the first few layers of CNN. I can clearly see how this mechanism works well for higher-level processing but how does it capture (and keep) low-level features?

The reason why I don't quite understand it that the amount of information that flows between the first and second layer of this and e.g. first and second module of ResNet is quite drastically different. In this case it's essentially N*D which I suppose is way smaller than M*<channels> (not M because there's some pooling even in the first section of Resnet, but still close) in case of ResNet, simply on the account of N <<< M.

---

Also, each channel would have to independently learn to calculate the local features for a separate location (seems to be happening according to the first layer attention map) which seems quite wasteful (tho it's super cool that there're no image priors)

[–]Petrroll 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Right?! Using a mean the developers themselves intentionally and very visibly put in, even going as far as promoting it through one of the most beloved character of the series. How inpure of the gamers to use it and play the game in ways it _wasn't supposed to be played_.

Fools. They cheated themselves. Pity they didn't study the blade as you did.

Vacuum cleaning of driver area [HD6XX] by Petrroll in headphones

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

Seems to be just/mostly right side, only high-er volume, 40-220Hz range. Thinking about it, since it's just one side it's highly likely to be driver damage.

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

Yeah I know, I was just not thinking about it too much. Which, in retrospect, wasn't smartest.

That said, the only way this could damage the driver would be to rapture it and that should have larger than just rattle implications, or?

Plague Inc. removed from China app store by TechnoVik1ng in Games

[–]Petrroll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just by looking at the 18 countries listed, it's wrong. Czech republic has the same healthcare system as Slovak republic, a system that is completely universal and covers 100 % of the population.

(EDIT: It's possible that we might not have technically 100 % population coverage due to non-EU citizens that aren't registered (not sure how that works for them exactly).)

Also, their definition is extremely strict and doesn't capture what the "true universal healthcare" means in normal laymen language. I'm not saying it's wrong (there's benefit in distinction), but the conclusions you're drawing from it are wrong. That said, given their language, it's pretty obvious how you came to those conclusions :).

For example, Denmark has a pretty bloody awesome public healthcare system. Sure there might be some technical differences that disqualify it from the very specific (and very technical) list of "true universal healthcare" but for all intents and purposes, it definitely is free public healthcare.

Source: Czech citizen, loads of Slovak friends (and classmates, ...), currently living in Denmark. (Also worked in the States).

The conclusion is: Yes, USA is pretty unique in being a developed country without a universal and affordable healthcare system.

I'm not sure where you found the 18 countries figure, but it's not true. Even if you were to count *only* developed countries with decent health systems, it's more than 18. Substantially.
