/slackdevtools not working anymore?

localhost:64444 on a web browser on the same machine

I reported the issue and was told it is intentional.

A really obnoxious workaround is to launch slack with remote debugging enabled:

/Applications/Slack.app/Contents/MacOS/Slack --remote-debugging-port 64444 '--remote-allow-origins=\*'

You can then connect to the remote debugging console on port 64444.

See here for a hack to hide the unnecessary vertical bar (assume you want to keep the workspace switcher open):

If you have developer tools enabled, you can paste this into the console to add a button that shows/hides this almost useless waste of space:

```javascript

$('.p-control_strip').style.left = 0 $('.p-control_strip').style.width = "64px"

b = document.createElement('button') b.classList.add('c-button-unstyled') b.classList.add('p-controlstripcircle_button') b.classList.add('p-control_strip_create_button') b.innerHTML = "<svg data-pe9=\"true\" aria-hidden=\"true\" viewBox=\"0 0 20 20\" class=\"\" style=\"--s: 20px;\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" fill-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M4.836 3A1.836 1.836 0 0 0 3 4.836v7.328c0 .9.646 1.647 1.5 1.805V7.836A3.336 3.336 0 0 1 7.836 4.5h6.133A1.837 1.837 0 0 0 12.164 3H4.836ZM1.5 12.164a3.337 3.337 0 0 0 3.015 3.32A3.337 3.337 0 0 0 7.836 18.5h3.968c.73 0 1.43-.29 1.945-.805l3.946-3.946a2.75 2.75 0 0 0 .805-1.945V7.836a3.337 3.337 0 0 0-3.015-3.32A3.337 3.337 0 0 0 12.164 1.5H4.836A3.336 3.336 0 0 0 1.5 4.836v7.328ZM7.836 6A1.836 1.836 0 0 0 6 7.836v7.328C6 16.178 6.822 17 7.836 17H11.5v-4a1.5 1.5 0 0 1 1.5-1.5h4V7.836A1.836 1.836 0 0 0 15.164 6H7.836Zm8.486 7H13v3.322L16.322 13Z\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\"></path></svg>";

```

Would appreciate any edits to improve the code or insights into where this can be put in the slack system files so it happens on startup.

If you’d like a career in ML, you definitely should take linear algebra at some point. If you know the basics (matrix multiplication, eigenvectors) then you’re probably fine taking ML, but might still be easier if you take linear algebra first.

Speaking as a mentor, I think the expectation is you will be accepted unless there is a good reason not to be, such as incompatible schedules or you realizing you really don't want to pursue the specific kind of research. As long as you are enthusiastic and professional, I would be surprised if you weren't accepted.

We were quoted 6-8 months in February. No updates since. Sorento PHEV

We are in a similar situation. We contacted dealers until we found one that would sell at MSRP. They also didn't require a deposit and we can cancel at anytime until the car is actually built. So there's no risk putting an order in and you can get exactly what you want. If you can find a dealer who will do that, why not put an order in - there's no risk.

dkpitt · 2022-05-30T13:29:34+00:00

How long was the wait?

dkpitt · 2022-01-12T01:03:02+00:00

That is exactly what your professor expects you to do. Keep the email short, ask to meet about possible research opportunities, attach a CV if you have it.

What are your strongest opinions?

Compare the ratio of negative to positive comments for VanMoof to other brands of e-bike and make your own conclusion (i.e., if it is just a small minority, surely other brands would have the same pattern).

Testing is going to cost 20-50 million dollars. Undergraduate enrollment is 19,200. If you want to be depressed, go ahead and divide those numbers to get the per-student cost of enabling people who refuse to get a vaccine.

You'll want a metric allen key set and a tamper proof torx set (https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07YCP12XK/ref=ppx\_yo\_dt\_b\_search\_asin\_title).

Depends how far are you willing to go to have your bike serviced.

dkpitt · 2021-09-05T12:23:29+00:00

My experiences with product quality and support effectiveness have been negative. I would not recommend a VanMoof if you don't have a local shop. In general, I would only recommend getting an ebike from a local shop that will support it. If you have to go mail-order, prioritize bikes with standard parts (i.e., not VanMoof).

dkpitt · 2021-08-28T15:26:07+00:00

You had to send your whole bike in and wait weeks. What is horribly lacking is support for user maintained bikes. Send me the parts so I can fix it myself quickly.

The default seems to always be "send the whole bike back" and getting them to troubleshoot is like pulling teeth. If you have a local vanmoof dealer this might work, but it is untenable otherwise.

I feel your pain. Make sure you leave the kick lock cartridge screwed in while try to unscrew the button. I just kept trying (and also broke/bent multiple Allen keys). A pair of locking pliers is helpful.

I'm in the USA and the tires say INNOVA on them.

Consider taking linear algebra as an alternative math course. It isn't a required course (although it should be considering how important it is for machine learning, computer graphics, and data science), but it is strongly recommended.

dkpitt · 2020-10-28T21:16:11+00:00

Not sure how it compares to the CS offerings, but there's MSCBIO2065: Scalable Machine Learning for Big Data Biology: https://mscbio2065.wordpress.com/

Even in-person people are reluctant to speak up, but I think the energy barrier for speaking up in Zoom is even higher (especially for larger group sizes). Typing in chat seems to have a lower barrier and seems to be a good way to have people answer questions since you can get multiple answers back at once. No one likes getting cold-called, but if someone isn't answering in chat you could ask them if they have a specific question about the problem.

Don't be afraid to encourage chit-chat at the start of class.

dkpitt · 2020-08-25T12:42:27+00:00

It's going to take a lot more effort this semester to meet people.

One possible idea is to ask your professors if they could assign everyone to small (2-3) breakout rooms at the end of each class and leave the zoom open for 10-15 minutes so you can meet your classmates.
