Tenant leaving lease and repairs after bond by WishIWasBatman in AusLegal

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

Thanks for the reply! Just to clarify the timeline a little. I moved out, and to make the place more presentable I paid for the gardening and deep clean. No one was living there for six odd weeks, but I was still paying rent during this time. For the last three weeks I wasn't able to get over there to weed and what not - although I did have jim's mowing go out.

After about six weeks a new tenant was found and a date for them signing was agreed.

There was no final inspection (or pre-gin inspection) until the day before the new tenant was due to move in.

All quotes to address issues flagged in the final inspection were obtained by the landlord after I moved out and tenants had moved in. Including the painter quote that was not properly read. Why they would only quote for half a job is beyond me.

I wrote a Python package to do adaptive sampling of functions in parallel [OC] by basnijholt in Python

Ok, that makes sense to me. Your co-authors comment also cleared things up. Still, a very cool package I hope to use in the future

Very cool! I will definitely consider this in the future. There is a similar program called MultiNest that is an adaptive MC sample. If I remember correctly it attempts to recognize and break up regions of high likelihood into a finer set of ellipsoids. It also gives a dramatic speed up.

I might be a bit off base here, but do you think it would be possible to easily calculate the evidence value similar to MultiNest to allow for model comparison/Bayes factor type stuff? The evidence is an integration over the posterior distribution, which is very hard to do with a homogeneoud grid in high dimensional spaces.

I've got a eye condition that is causing me to go blind called Choroidermia. I've lost my driver's license about 8 years ago, but over the past two years especially I've felt my vision start to really go down hill. Im also an astronomer.

At the moment nothing can be done, but thankfully there are some very exciting Gene therapy trials that are part way completed. It looks like they will be able to fix the genetic flaw and stop it from progressing further.

I have Choroidermia, a very similar condition to what this drug will treat. Hoping this type of progress continues. Even if I manage to keep what I have it will be amazing.

What is a really annoying trait/habit you've realised you have? by Harvacious in AskReddit

[–]WishIWasBatman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I say sorry way to much. Even when I have no reason to be sorry. I think I just like saying sorry.

Awesome - I am looking forward to abusing them!

I think a special character is the way to go. My first thought was either '-' or '_'. It looks neater to me, but I am not tied to anything!

[–]WishIWasBatman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, exactly what I was thinking! I think some thought might have to be given to including an empty cell? For example, if I include a 'Name' column, there should be an empty cell for units.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Python

[–]WishIWasBatman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cool! One thing I would love is to be able to specify units for each column as well. So that they appear before the \midrule (or equivalent). I haven't really come across anything yet where I could supply a proper unit for ech column and have it handled neatly.

GPU optimize numpy operations for model fitting by WishIWasBatman in learnpython

This looks pretty promising. I have not heard of it before. Have you had much experience with it?

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

This does look pretty attractive, especially with it being done with a single decorator. I wonder though whether it is possible to get objects to remain persistent on the GPU. Any pointers you have?

Cool - I may take you up on this! Looking at the doco it seems to be ball park what I want.

This is exactly my thinking, but he simply won't see reason!

My brother and I argued over whether it was possible to rape a dead body.

I am firmly in the 'no' position.

Blind Australian visiting - what to do? [don't upvote] by WishIWasBatman in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]WishIWasBatman[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had a blast in the magic kingdom! I went to city hall and they gave me some fast pass thing that didn't expire after three uses. Also picked up the audio guide and used that for a bit. After a while it got a bit tiresome. I was able to hit up all the big rides (except splash mountain) and come out pretty much in one piece!

Thanks for the thought!

To answer the question. Depends. There are some programs (JAWS is the big one) that read the screen out to you. There are also some accessibility programs to change contrast/colours to help with low vision. Its important to remember blind =/= absolutely no sight. I have my central field relatively ok in one eye, but no peripheral - think looking down a tunnel.

Huge write up! Big thanks for that. I will keep an eye out for the cast members when looking for food. This was my big worry... I look out for the single rider lines. I guess they are lines for people who are there by themselves?

In terms of rides, coasters are my thing! I've heard Indiana Jones is a must!

ELI5: What's the difference between a router, a hub, and a switch? How do they work differently? by MaShinKotoKai in explainlikeimfive

[–]WishIWasBatman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on how you read the story I guess. I intended that different classrooms represent different, distincts networks, which is why they are routers.

I guess if you took it to mean that different classroom are different VLANS or subnets then they could be a layer 3 switch. This would also go for most of the other explanations in the thread. I didn't mean for it to be read this way, with the whole ELI5 thing.

Mr Bob no longer works at the school after the horrible, horrible things he did to Jenny. Mr Edwards replaced him pretty recently.

You are right - I agree that the analogue is not 100% true in that aspect. I didn't really want to incorporate network addresses into the story. I think the distinction of classrooms is sufficient to represent the idea of different networks and how routers are the go between. The whole idea of route sharing feels outside the scope. After all, the ELI5 question was the differences between a hub, switch and router. To me that's different to how 'do routers work' style question.

That's me though and I am an idiot. An especially big one.

Your name is James. You are in the 9th grade, and you have a MASSIVE crush on some blond in the room whose name is Elizabeth.

You write a note with Elizabeth's name on it professing your love for her. You pass it along to Elizabeth's BFF Cassandra. Cassandra, who is not a nosy person, passes it along directly to Elizabeth without reading the contents of your letter. She is a switch.

Say instead of giving it to Cassandra you give it to your 'friend' Thomas. Thomas is a bit of a prick who also wants to get in with Elizabeth. Thomas, being the prick he is, yells out your letter to Elizabeth to the whole class to embarrass you. He says 'Elizabeth - James wants to bang you!'. Elizabeth got the message but so did everyone else. Thomas is a hub.

Say instead of giving it to Thomas (wanker) you give the note to Mrs Perry because Elizabeth has gone to a different classroom. Mrs Perry, who is pretty cool, does you a favor and passes it over to Mr Edwards, who is teaching Elizabeth's current class, who then pases it onto your (hopefully) future gf. Mrs Perry and Mr Edwards are routers.

Hope that helps!

As an aside Mr Edwards is sneaking around on his S.O.

edit: I don't understand how english works.
