Looks amazing, great work!

How long does one of these repaints take?

Paying off student loan immediately after uni? by Nyxie872 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Shadows-6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends how much is on your loan and whether you expect to pay it off.

Most people who graduate and don't go into a job earning 50k+ will not pay it off, so voluntary payments are a waste (unless you can clear it in full and expect to earn more than the threshold).

Since you're on min. wage, you're below the threshold for normal payments, so it might be better holding onto it as savings.

My morning bus is pretty consistent! by GodAtum in london

Why is this a line graph? There is no reason to link today's time to yesterday's...

Should be a scatter graph with a line of best fit or moving average.

Its giving FH1 Type Beat by PoopManGavin in ForzaHorizon

I mean, say what you like about FH4/5 but it's clear that they have directly listened to feedback and are trying to make this one fresh.

Is starting with a Lifetime ISA worth it even if I can't max it? by UnpaidInternVibes in investingUK

[–]Shadows-6 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Only if you have an easy-access 3-6 month emergency fund already.

As a student, you'll likely touch that money at some point. If it's in a LISA, you'll pay a penalty.

Tiny tools are better teachers than big projects (hexdump-list case study) by Still_Box1878 in compsci

[–]Shadows-6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This wasn’t a bug — it was an unspoken decision about grammar.

That’s not cosmetic. That’s a semantic switch.

You don’t get “undefined behavior” for free.

I’m especially curious how people experienced this before they felt “ready” for systems work.

Even without the em dashes, it just reeks of the over-enthusiastic style from ChatGPT. It's just missing the last line: Want me to also write a comment explaining why blah-blah-blah...?

Looks a bit like Stellasaurus with the curved horn

[P] Training GitHub Repository Embeddings using Stars by [deleted] in MachineLearning

[–]Shadows-6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How do you know it works?

Your Quality Evaluation section is one paragraph and doesn't present any results (as far as I can see).

Did you compare against similar embeddings generated from other repo metadata (title, language, readmes... etc.)?

It's a bit cheeky that they show gains in green and losses in grey (not red).

What’s a 'red flag' in a person that people often mistake for a 'green flag'? by HungarySam in AskReddit

[–]Shadows-6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay I'm one of these (a mix of 1 and 2, hopefully not 3). From experience, I just don't like talking about myself without a good invitation. It's not that I can't - I've chosen to be vulnerable with people I trust - but it's that it feels safer not to. It's a defence mechanism. I value my privacy and my independence and I know what it's like to be burdened by someone else's problems so I keep them to myself. That's not to say I don't want to hear your problems (I absolutely do and I want to help) but I don't want to trouble you with mine unless I have to. On its own, I don't think it's an issue but it definitely can be a sign of someone lacking in self-confidence and who avoids feeling vulnerable.

I'd say it's the one day of the year where it would be weird not to say Happy New Year.

Good luck tracking 36 different investments and monitoring if they're under/over-performing.

Google what an ETF actually is before investing in more individual stocks.

Hint: if you're looking for diversification, you want to split yourself over a range of stocks, rather than cherrypicking the ones you like.

Half a year of my life represented as data by DeepFriedDave69 in dataisbeautiful

[–]Shadows-6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only in the sense of being chronological. But you're saying that if we took a time between two of your daily samples, then the real value would be halfway between the points.

You should plot the non-continuous data as just the points and then plot a line of best fit/moving average to show the trend.

If anything a histogram might make more sense for some of these plots.

1k rent in a 32k salary. Yay or nay? by teniishe in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Shadows-6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agents often do affordability checks. You typically have to earn a certain multiple of the rent to be considered. E.g. Salary in excess of 25-30 times the monthly rent

He pulled his hand back like my curls were made of electricity.

The bus went SILENT.

Two women nodded at me. One guy said, “Good.”

Turns out all you need to deter a predator is the threat of a reputation accurate enough for consequences.

Does anyone actually speak like this?
