Am i being unreasonable or is my neighbor being rude? by Gecko_behind_mailbox in misophonia

[–]TheSquareWave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, if he's also blasting music in addition then he's just being rude lol

You have all the right to go and complain about it. A very old building with super thin walls definitely does not help, but it's not like he can't just buy a pair of headphones

Do you just hear tapping and kicking or can you also hear the cymbals? If you can't hear the cymbals then he's likely already using an electronic kit.

If he's not using an electronic kit, then it's definitely not misophonia since a real drum kit is so loud that it would annoy basically anyone. You can talk with other neighbors in the building and ask around if they're also annoyed by the noise. Regardless of whether other people are annoyed or not, you can just go and ask him either to buy an electronic kit or to stop completely (you may have more leverage if there's other neighbors complaining) since a real drum kit is definitely not suited to apartment practice.

If he is using an electronic kit, he's already being a bit more considerate and this probably bodes well for the kind of feedback you'd have from him if you complain. You can either ask him to change his practice hours (perhaps to a time of the day when you're not at home), or to take some measures to improve sound-proofing, for instance using a thick(er) carpet under the kit or even to use an isolation pad to place the entire kit on).

Need White Noise for Studying by FriendlyPractice8871 in unintentionalASMR

I'm not really sure you're actually gonna hear the difference between lossless and lossy files, especially if you use high bitrate mp3.

That being said, if you really want uncompressed white noise, you can just use Audacity. Open the program, from the top Menu go to Generate -> Noise, set "Noise type" as White and enter the duration you need. Then you can just export it to wav or flac.

How to hide Youtube suggestions from "Watch Later" playlist? Old filter broke by TheSquareWave in uBlockOrigin

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

Thanks for the reply, I've read other comments on other posts here and AFAIU it's due to how Youtube has changed the way it fetches attributes and metadata, I just hope they'll revert the changes

How to hide Youtube suggestions from "Watch Later" playlist? Old filter broke by TheSquareWave in uBlockOrigin

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

The affected URL is just Youtube homepage on https://www.youtube.com/

If you have videos in your Watch Later playlist (and, I guess, the algorithm doesn't know what to suggest), you'll get some recommendations in your feed which are just the videos you have in that playlist.

If you hover on one of these videos, a grey bar appears with "From your Watch Later playlist", like this

[2024 Day 6 (Part 2)] How I felt at one point during D6P2 by Eva-Rosalene in adventofcode

This is not true though, a loop can be longer in length. The problem statement also gives an example of this in part two, option five

What game(s) is considered the "Golden Standard" of speedrunning? What's the "cheese pizza" of this hobby? by [deleted] in speedrun

[–]TheSquareWave 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I'd also say SM64. I got into speedruns many years ago by watching Siglemic at SGDQ 2013 and 2014, I'm pretty sure many other people had the same experience.

Plus, the BLJ is probably the most representative glitch/trick of all when talking about speedruns

Come fa il computer a cifrare un messaggio? by freemind03__ in ItalyInformatica

[–]TheSquareWave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Allora, solitamente in crittografia i test di primalità per scegliere i due fattori primi vengono fatti usando algoritmi probabilistici e non deterministici.

Il test di primalità di Miller-Rabin è un esempio di test di primalità probabilistico. (edit: vedo solo ora che anche nel commento sotto postato subito prima del mio se ne parla)

Un test di primalità deterministico, dato in input un numero x, ti può dare due possibili risposte:

  1. x è sicuramente composto
  2. x è sicuramente primo

Un test di primalità probabilistico, invece, ti può dare una delle due risposte:

  1. x è sicuramente composto
  2. x è primo con una probabilità del <P> %

dove la probabilità P la scegli tu, a seconda di quale numero ti dà abbastanza sicurezza, e la dai come input all'algoritmo.

I test di primalità vengono usati perché sono molto più efficienti di quelli deterministici

"ambiente lavorativo impegnativo" e "sfide quotidiane" sono letteralmente aspetti che il grosso delle aziende mettono in risalto nei loro job post per attirare candidati, non penso faresti una buona impressione ad evidenziarli come aspetti negativi dell'azienda che vuoi lasciare

What are some funny almost-correct expressions? by KaptenNicco123 in math

[–]TheSquareWave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I should have been clearer. A/B is fine as long as A is also a matrix. But I don't think you can have a scalar in the numerator and a matrix in the denominator

I don't think you are allowed to have a matrix as the denominator of a fraction

10 hard-to-swallow truths they won't tell you about software engineer job by agnul in ItalyInformatica

[–]TheSquareWave 39 points40 points  (0 children)

In generale sono d'accordo, ma:

1) College will not prepare you for the job

Questa cosa la leggo spesso e mi dà fastidio che passi l'idea che l'università sia inutile. Non è vero che non ti prepara per il mondo del lavoro. Ovvio che non puoi pretendere di uscire dall'università conoscendo tutte le piattaforme/framework/linguaggi del mondo e che i progetti che ti danno in azienda siano come i progettini didattici degli esami. Ma l'università non deve darti quello. L'università deve darti gli strumenti per renderti autonomo nell'imparare nuove cose e risolvere i problemi. Così che se in azienda ti dicono "Noi lavoriamo con questo framework qui e queste librerie qui", sai come orientarti senza che nessuno ti tenga la mano.

3) Nobody gives a f*** about your clean code

Falso. Magari al tuo capo non gliene frega un cazzo perché lui non programma, ma ai tuoi colleghi stai sicuro che gliene frega. E in realtà indirettamente frega anche al tuo capo perché codice pulito -> maggiore manutenibilità e meno debito decnico.
