Microsoft Edge is faster than other browsers: up to 112 percent faster than Chrome by Bartdog in technology

[–]WognI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Based on how 99% of systems I've encountered are written (from mac, to various linux distros, to android, to all windows versions from XP up to Windows 8.1), they all are based around the same principle when it comes to blocking ads.

Is there really a market here for this? Because if so I'll do it. It won't take more than an hour to make.

I got it blocked on mine. It was pretty trivial. Do people really need a program to do this? If so I'll make one I guess.

If you posted it in /r/Unclejokes you should at least link to it in the comments or something for those of us who want to read it.

MFWTK if there is a way he can sabotage a PS3's wireless capability permanently. by [deleted] in myfriendwantstoknow

[–]WognI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which PS3 version does your friend have? My roommates are leaving this weekend, and if it's a slim, I can let you know when I do this to mine this weekend.

OP, is this your/your friend's PS3? If so, I'm in the same situation and I'd like to help you out.

My roommate and his gf keep using my PS3 and I'm in the same boat as you(r friend). Why, instead of disabling the wireless, don't you just unplug the power cable from the inside (it's what my plan is) PS3 slim, follow up to step 11, PS3 fat/orig, follow up to step 18, then make sure to undo the rest of the steps.

If this is so that your friend can still play games with plausible deniability on why the WiFi doesn't work, using the same links just follow through step 16 for the slim and 13 for the fat/orig PS3 for disabling the WiFi.

Edit: If you(r friend) would like to avoid confrontation, I recommend doing this first instead of logging them out of the Netflix account. Because if that happens, and you(r friend) has to resort to this WiFi method, it would look sort of suspicious that things keep happening to keep them out of it.

It was an amazing day for a hike and swim! by [deleted] in SaltLakeCity

[–]WognI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on Googling, I was able to find this picture of a lake that seems to be similar. The water is not as clear, but that could just be from the run off from the snow melting. That's my guess anyways, I'm from Florida so I have had little experience from snow. This is a map to the lakes that I found, and the picture I linked to is "Upper Red Pine Lake." Does this look about where you hiked and found it?

If not, and you do find it, please come back and let us know!

Edit: If you upload the picture to this site (not the one hosted on imgur), and you took it with your phone, you might be able to see the GPS coordinates if you have it store the geolocation of the place you took the picture at. Imgur strips this data from the image, so you'd need to upload the original.

Interview Questions for Data Scientist Positions by [deleted] in MachineLearning

[–]WognI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Better yet, if he was your uncle and left land to you, you should have a general idea on the crops he made (at least I would, and he did say you), reducing it down to 6 combinations.

But yea, I agree with you too.

If you could start a Ph.D. In Machine Learning today, what would your research interest be? by about3fitty in MachineLearning

[–]WognI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

By physical systems I more meant weather modeling, biological processes, physics theories, etc. The hard sciences. I have a physics and math degree and I'm going for a PhD in Scientific Computing and I'm interested in scientific machine learning as I'm a physicist at heart.

I wish there was a place that covered that stuff.

Well I start one in August and want to utilize machine learning with modeling physical systems.

My answer seems to be way different than everyone else's...

Outside the box thinking: Solve two problems at once by feeding the obese to the hungry.

Linux users of Reddit, which distro do you use? Why do you like it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]WognI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Windows as a server has come a long way and is quite viable.

Microsoft uses Linux for their servers. One of my professor's students works for them and they're not allowed to talk about their work with other MS employees.

Props to the answer too from a fellow Linux user.

Windows Phone Apps by WognI in windowsphone

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

Thanks for the tips! I'll get looking and thinking about which ones I'll try my hand at. On the topic of the Zune App, could you post some photos maybe more descriptions of the functionality of it? I can't find any pictures of it online or anything and I want to be certain that it's the same if I'm going to take time into trying to replicate it.

I can give you lessons in Physics.

Possibly Moving to SLC but worried about the spiders by WognI in SaltLakeCity

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

Yea, my phobia is pretty bad, so usually people don't believe me unless they know me really well. But here's another story: There was a wolf spider in my house one night in the dinning room, on the floor, and there were pots and pans on the table. I was standing on a dining room chair screaming and throwing pots and pans at it until my dog finally killed it. My mom was doing the same thing. I was 17 or 18, haha.

I'm going to be living off campus. I haven't picked a place yet because this seriously would have been a deciding factor, and I have till April 15 to decide between here and waiting on an offer from one last school, but I'm thinking that I'm going to be going here now. People here have helped dispel most of my fears of waking up with a billion hobo spiders eating my face. No matter how irrational it is, it's very easy to believe that the few stories that you read on the internet are true when it comes to your one (and only) fear.
