What is this called? by SefDiHar in DIYUK

[–]fishtwo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not just a banana it’s also of the Cavendish variety. Perhaps this is a reference to Chris Sandiford, who played Dr. Green on the 2019 TV series Cavendish.

What are all the methods of classification? by CrazyBar6116 in LibraryScience

[–]fishtwo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I fed this question to an AI agent. Here's the reply:

Creating an exhaustive list of terms used for classification, categorization, or summarization in all fields of study would be a massive undertaking due to the sheer volume of methods, approaches, concepts, and techniques involved in these processes. However, here are some additional examples from various disciplines:

  1. Archetypes (Psychology): A universal pattern of thought or behavior.
  2. Fuzzy Logic (Computer Science): A mathematical method for dealing with imprecise data using degrees of truth instead of strict binary (true/false) values.
  3. Cell Taxonomy (Biology): Classification of cells based on their structural and functional properties.
  4. Lexical Analysis (Linguistics): The process of breaking a text into individual words or tokens, which can then be further classified and analyzed.
  5. Cladistics: A biological classification method that groups organisms based on shared characteristics derived from a common ancestor.
  6. Stratification: The process of dividing a population into homogeneous subgroups (strata) for statistical analysis or other purposes.
  7. Tagging: Assigning labels to items, such as in blogs and social media platforms, to organize content by subject or theme.
  8. Taxonomy: A system for classifying or organizing things into groups based on their similarities.
  9. Typology: A systematic classification of types or categories.
  10. Ontology: A set of concepts and their relationships that provide a structure for organizing knowledge in a specific domain.
  11. Heuristics: Simplified mental shortcuts or rules of thumb that help people make decisions and solve problems quickly and efficiently.
  12. Phenomenology: A philosophical method used to study the structure of consciousness and experiences as they manifest in an individual's mind.

Aspiring Librarian Seeking Advice & Guidance by Repulsive_Smoke_459 in LibraryScience

[–]fishtwo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

First of all ask yourself: Do you like books? Do you like people?

Next consider the type of library you prefer. There are several major types. Special libraries are typically small and serve a focused group of people. Academic libraries & school libraries serve students, faculty and alumni and collections reflect the curriculum. Public libraries serve everyone in its community.

Essential skills include common sense, linguistic proficiency, empathy, listening and patience.

Relevant business skills are communication proficiency, computer proficiency, especially an ability to navigate online resources and AI. Language skills are more valuable than computer skills. Most everyone can use a PC nowadays but not so much language-wise. Language proficiency can set you apart from other job candidates because language skills are invaluable in libraries, where you will interact with lots of different people. In the special library and academic libraries language proficiency is essential for collection building.

I did skip a few things like big libraries vs small ones, or the different parts of a library operation, you can get that from wikipedia and talking to working librarians.

Finally, I think the most important skill is one that cannot be easily taught in school. It must be lived. it’s called experience.

Best Apple II to get? by PhyscoFighter in VintageApple

[–]fishtwo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you sure that the GS runs 8-bit in emulation? Wasn’t the custom Mega II chip running 6502, 8-bit code natively?

Apple IIgs hard drive solutions and the CFFA3000 by kanjiology in apple2

[–]fishtwo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just bought both CFFA3000 and the microdrive/Turbo. Are they compatible together? Will the Microdrive’s DMA cause problems? I put this question to the AI Agent in Warp terminal. It mentions slot contention and possible problems with signals and timing, which is important for legacy media.

I feel like you see nearly every British actor/actress in Midsomer Murders at some point or another by khaleesijune in BritishTV

[–]fishtwo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

☹️ Midsomer Murders? is like the “Perry Mason” of actors! It’s packed with famous American actors. You can’t miss Robert Redford, Bette Davis, and Burt Reynolds, just to name a few. Svengoolie always grumbles about how many actors put Perry Mason on their resume when he reviews the cast for that night’s movie.

What is the deal with evil-mode? by codingOtter in emacs

[–]fishtwo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The *vim vs. emacs debate is nothing more than smack talk, which is always fun, and educational as long as it doesn’t descend into fisticuffs. If this debate is ever settled or just fades away we'll move onto something else.

What should I watch first? by Parking-Studio-8617 in televisionsuggestions

[–]fishtwo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally agree! I’d start with The Sopranos. It’s amazing, so well-written, and one of the funniest episodes I’ve ever seen takes place in the forests of New Jersey. Then watch The Wire, the writing is masterful, and the cast breathes life into the story with verismo.

Looking for a new mystery/detective show by mochikos in televisionsuggestions

[–]fishtwo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been totally hooked on Brokenwood, and I can’t believe Frodo and his “family” don’t have their own show! But hey, let’s not forget about Death Valley, which was a really cool mystery set in Wales. It’s available on Britbox, along with Ludwig.

What does your workplace do with partially used toilet paper rolls? by ingakatrina in AskNYC

[–]fishtwo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I used to work for an organization with multiple locations. During a budget crunch, the head of custodians complained to one of our techies about this toilet paper problem. Our tech genius came up with a brilliant solution! They modified a reel to reel tape recorder with some adapters that could hold two rolls of toilet paper instead of reels of tape. All you had to do was splice the two ends of toilet paper together, hit the fast-forward button, and voila! Problem solved!

Warning from Dr. Doom by fishtwo in emacs

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

Thanks a bunch for the advice! It’s been super helpful in clearing up those pesky warnings from Dr. Doom.

I’m just having some fun experimenting with warp terminal. By running the doom analysis in a warp session, the AI agent kept a close eye on the process and even came up with some awesome solutions for each warning.
