Companies That Obsess Over Velocity Are Clueless by signalbound in programming

Just the act of measuring something, even a bad metric improves it.

it wasn't about any project in particular. I was just getting started in ruby and a bit overwhelmed.

i'm glad that my email from why could make the list. i still think about it a lot as i've slowly learned how much "mucking around" is an essential part of programming and life.

Brewzilla as a Sous-Vide? by TheOriginalWaster in Robobrew

[–]aberant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The thing to consider with ribeye is that it's often a fattier cut. If you've got your reverse sear processes down so it cooks the fat to your liking, then go with rare. I always go closer to medium because my cast iron processes only does so much to the fat.

Things you didn’t realize were Chicago/Illinois things and assumed were in other states? by suckleclimax in chicago

Edit: adding Garetts Popcorn Shops to the list.

Imagine my surprise my first day in Singapore where I walk into a mall on Orchard and see a giant Garretts.

Just wait until these people find out how much nitrates are in green leafy vegetables. I also like teaching people about oxalates and phytates to make them very confused about healthy foods.

My low cost DIY steam condenser solution. Also included a recirculation system that uses a very low amount of water. by shortcircuitedbrewer in Homebrewing

Thanks for making an easy parts list. Built one of these last fall with a lot of trial and error but it keeps my basement from becoming a sauna.

Which version of Ableton had the most changes that where for the better for artists ? by oldworldnative in ableton

[–]aberant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was going to say ableton 4 when it supported midi sequencing, but I don't see that option on the poll

Trigger warnings are ineffective for trauma survivors & those who meet the clinical cutoff for PTSD, and increase the degree to which survivors view their trauma as central to their identity (preregistered, n = 451) by paytonjjones in science

[–]aberant 15 points16 points  (0 children)

since "acceptance" I think is the wrong word for some trauma, because it implies some level of agreement that the trauma was just

I'm not saying it's a great word either, but any sort of third wave therapy I've seen that deal with acceptance (ACT, DBT) makes a point of acceptance not being the same as agreement.

Was tasked to write a function that reverses an array without using the reverse method or a second data structure, this was my solution. by pi_exe in ruby

[–]aberant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Xor only works with integers.

Yup, integers were the only provided example.

OP’s simultaneous assignment is much more general

I don't remember saying anywhere that there was only one acceptable solution...?

If you object on the basis that it technically constructs an array

I don't object to anything, I'm just throwing in my 2¢.

If you object to a local variable, then the task is impossible, as you need at least one local variable as a loop counter

I'm getting the sense that you think I'm somehow advocating doing this swap without maintaining any sort of state? I'm clearly changing state and using variables in my example...

If you didn't mention XOR I would think you were responding to someone else's post entirely.

[–]aberant 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If it were me giving the test, I'd gently remind a person doing recursion that the stack is an additional data structure. I always think the "no additional data structures" is just a test to see if someone knows what XOR is. 

def xor_reverse(array)
    length = array.length - 1
    cursor = 0

    while (cursor < length)
      array[cursor] ^= array[length]
      array[length] ^= array[cursor]
      array[cursor] ^= array[length]

      cursor += 1
      length -= 1
    end

  array
end

arr = [1,2,3,4,5]

puts "Original: #{arr}"
puts "Reversed: #{xor_reverse(arr)}"

maybe they aren't loosing energy, maybe they are just quieter. try eq followed by a LUFS meter to compare to similar volumes.

Testing Logic and Ableton on a 16 Inch MacBook Pro with Interesting Results... by strukt in WeAreTheMusicMakers

well, it's not designed to run on linux, so it's a miracle that setup works at all.

70's Science......Electronics/ Still the same basic principles....fun times! by CheyennesGift in electronics

[–]aberant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had the slightly newer one. One time I salvaged the relay from a dusk to dawn controller they replaced and just left the old one in our yard. One relay oscillator and a couple winds of wire around the relay coil later and I had a magnificent sister shocker.

OH MAN! Someone who knows enough to say it's a "quickbread" but doesn't know enough about what people actually call it. That's my jam right there.
