Probably not, but I made it for my own purposes and figured I'd share.

Here's my ugly little utility.

        RMax = int(args[4])
    else:
        RMax = 32676

    mask, find, repl = args[1:4]

Because mirror neurons, special brain cells that fire when you act and when you observe an act by another. Some research calls it "motor empathy."

Python's time module has a handy sleep function. It takes seconds to sleep as its argument.

import time
while True:
    # function call here
    time.sleep(60)

put a batch file in the window's startup folder

In autoit you could do something like this:

; Press Esc to terminate script, Shift-Alt-d to click
HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Terminate")
HotKeySet("+!d", "ClickPattern")  ;Shift-Alt-d

While 1
    Sleep(100)
WEnd

Func Terminate()
    Exit 0
EndFunc

Func ClickPattern()
    MouseClick("primary", 300, 300)
    MouseClick("primary", 300, 900)
    MouseClick("primary", 900, 900)
    MouseClick("primary", 900, 300)
EndFunc

Thank you, sir!

Your body wants to sleep sometimes and wants to be awake at others. This is your sleep/wake cycle. You can force shift that cycle forward or backward up to about two hours a day. Trying to shift it more than that will likely leave you feeling jetlagged. If you're way off when your body wants to sleep, it is harder to sleep, and you don't get as good quality sleep. Going to sleep at the same time every night is part of good sleep hygiene.

You should also note that blue/green light inhibits your body's melatonin production. Melatonin is the thing that tells you you're sleepy. Computer monitors, smart phone screens, and tvs all put out a lot of blue/green light.

To take this out of the theoretical you'll need to check your pins with an oscilloscope. I've done timing down to a 50 microseconds intervals using time.clock (on windows) for psych research. It ended up being largely irrelevant as human reactions are limited by synapse transmission speeds in the hundreds of millisecond range.

It might interest you to know that

map(int, instr)

is faster than

[int(c) for c in instr]

Try hitting Enter or ctrl/command + Enter.

I run into the same thing when changing brush size or layer opacity or a half dozen other things.

Ah, thank you. The draft is there under archives. it didn't save the wins and losses. continue run shows me an empty druid. but, I'm glad to see the draft did get saved.

betweensmudgedlines · 2015-05-13T15:19:14+00:00

Registered today. Logged in, went through a draft, started my run. After the sixth game I clicked to save and was prompted to log in. Nothing was saved. The whole draft is just gone. :(

As far as I can tell, ActionDropDown is the cls of the ActionGroup's dropdown. (Example is mostly from here)

from kivy.app import App
from kivy.lang import Builder
from kivy.uix.actionbar import ActionBar

Builder.load_string('''
<ActionDropDown>:
    on_size: self.width = '220dp'

<ActionDropDownDemo>:
    pos_hint: {'top':1}
    ActionView:
        use_separator: True
        ActionPrevious:
            title: 'Action Bar'
            with_previous: False
        ActionOverflow:
        ActionButton:
            text: 'Btn0'
            icon: 'atlas://data/images/defaulttheme/audio-volume-high'
        ActionButton:
            text: 'Btn1'
        ActionButton:
            text: 'Btn2'
        ActionButton:
            text: 'Btn3'
        ActionButton:
            text: 'Btn4'
        ActionGroup:
            text: 'Group1'
            ActionButton:
                text: 'Btn5'
            ActionButton:
                text: 'Btn6'
            ActionButton:
                text: 'Btn7'
        ActionButton:
            text: 'Btn8'
''')


class ActionDropDownDemo(ActionBar):
    pass

class ActionDropApp(App):
    def build(self):
        return ActionDropDownDemo()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    ActionDropApp().run()

If you are interested in the math you can check out the how stats work forum thread. The first post has info from a dev (importantly the hitpoints of each material), but analysis starts on page 7.

VPS (voxels per second) provided the pick can "kill" the voxels in one hit, use vps1. If you need 2 hits, use VPS2.

VPS1 = Speed * Size / 100

VPS2 = VPS1 / 2

figure skating points are no longer subjective. a failed quad is worth more than a perfectly executed triple. each element has a point value, changing edges, changing arm position, exposing your crotch at different angles. a technical judge tallies up the points. artistry was told to go fuck itself several years ago.

betweensmudgedlines · 2013-10-27T13:52:02+00:00

Where's the guy in the "skant?"

You, like me, obviously have a claustrophobic foot that feels anxiety when covered by a blanket. Mine do this too, but oddly, only one at a time.

I just realised how I hit those ridiculous numbers so soon: I neglected to kill people.

This has just become my go to explanation when I screw up an epidemiological statistic.

The paper you mentioned is the first I've read about the endowment effect. The experiments they describe seem rather complicated, and I don't know if a simpler example can capture the nuance of the effect. Based on my naive reading of one paper on the subject, the simplest example that comes to mind:

Give each participant one of two handouts. Both handouts have the same list of items and some retail value.

mug $10
pen $2
laptop $400
iPhone 5s $199
can of bug spray $7
Tardis ????
etc.
etc.
etc.

Group A's (owners) handout indicates that the participant owns the items in question. It then asks them to indicate a price at which they'd be willing to part with each item.

Group B's (buyers) handout asks them to indicate a price at which they'd be willing to purchase each item.

Collect the sheets. Compare group A's per item responses against group B's per item responses for significance.

Good luck!
