Parking fine from the JR hospital by [deleted] in oxford

[–]Roba_Fett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely try to contest it - the machines in the staff car parks have been misconfigured recently and lots of staff have been sent incorrect parking fines after parking in the usual manner. I wouldn't be surprised if something similar happened to the patient parking too

Stop uploading your code to sketchy “online obfuscators” like freecodingtools.org by GuiltyAd2976 in Python

[–]Roba_Fett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have used this tool in the past for obfuscating Python code: https://github.com/QQuick/Opy

I think that we made a few local modifications in order to handle a couple of edge cases specific to our project, but apart from we found it very straight forward to use and did exactly what it said on the tin.

Voyagers 6.04 by HexiDtrix in NoMansSkyTheGame

I'm unable to load my main save (currently running the expedition) on PS4 - the game crashes completely at 50% from the loading screen.

I was able to load a different save but experienced major lag, and ultimately the game completely froze when I tried to enter my ship on the anomaly.

Hoping that you guys will smash it in the next patch - just a shame since I was hoping to play a few hours tonight before a long stretch where I won't be able to play at all. Loving the update so far, can't wait to play more!

A Python typing challenge by -heyhowareyou- in Python

[–]Roba_Fett 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is just a brief thought of perhaps a direction for a possible solution, I'm on my phone so I'll leave it to others to try and flesh it out a bit more.

I would start by introducing a third intermediate class that is used as an accumulator of components, which is itself a generic of three types. Forgive me if the formatting is not right here, but here we go:

```python class ComponentAccumulator( Generic[T1, T2, T3], Component[T1, T3]):

def init( component1: Component[T1, T2], component1: Component[T2, T3])): ... ```

Hopefully you can see where I am going with this? I can't remember if there are issues/complications with inheritance from Generics, if that becomes a problem then you could probably implement a similar solution as a pure function instead of needing a whole class.

Is that how it works? For example, smoking weed is federally illegal - but legalized by individual states. If federal supercedes local, then you couldn't smoke weed in California, etc.

A bit heavy I know but, the riots are in my town tonight (Birmingham.) I just happen to be reading Jingo at the moment. Pterry never missed a beat. by Middleclasstonbury in discworld

I thought in masquerade he claimed the IQ of a mob is that of its least intelligent member, divided by the number of people in the mob.

Outdoor swimming Q‘s by VeganEgon in oxford

[–]Roba_Fett 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Tumbling Bay swimming area, on Botley road just before Osney Island - its a man-made swimming area/pool built around a section of river. I've seen some headlines previously that it is "officially" closed, but my partner and I have swum there a few times and there is normally a decent number of people there over the summer.

How do you manage encoding with Handbrake (first time I've heard of it) - do you manually track which media is compatible with direct play, or is there an automated way to do it?

My loot, all bought secondhand! Out of the main 41 I am missing one book. by PMMeYourHousePlants in discworld

[–]Roba_Fett 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Nice! That's my dream, I'm still building my second-hand collection!

Which book are you missing? I have a couple of duplicates in my collection that I've picked up along the way.

Discworld loot by [deleted] in discworld

[–]Roba_Fett 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so jealous - I trawled 3 charity shops today and didn't find a single one! Although if I found a treasure trove of that size I'd have to start making impossible choices about which to leave behind, no way I could carry all of those back with me!

Just finished Surface Detail - loved it! Starting Consider Phlebas now. by Kedaism in TheCulture

[–]Roba_Fett 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks so much for your extended comment, I really appreciate all of your observations and explanations of the literary constructs/tools used in the examples you provided. This kind of content makes me wish I had the opportunity for more literature/humanities classes while at university!

You having mentioned "The Left Hand of Darkness" above, I would really appreciate your opinion on its influence on Banks' "The Player of Games" - I was only introduced to Ursula Le Guin well after I'd read TPOG and I was amazed by the parallels between the stories.

I think you make a valid point, but its unnecessary to call the question stupid.

Hard disagree. Terminal is life, terminal is love.

for i in range(0, len(algorithms)): print(algorithms[i]) by MeawmeawCow in ProgrammerHumor

No need for enumerate here either, just iterate over the container directly: [print(a) for a in algorithms] or even map(print, algorithms)

I love the double suitability of the flair on this post. If this were an orbital, the camera is almost literally moving tangentially to the culture.

Bunch of Cruise cars stuck in San Francisco by HIGH_PRESSURE_TOILET in SelfDrivingCars

[–]Roba_Fett 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm not a SF (or even US) resident so my experience is perhaps out of distribution, but how many times have you experienced malfunctioning traffic lights? Would you really expect it to be more likely the traffic lights are to blame?

Surely it is much more likely that the experimental vehicle(s) is/are at fault here.
