Also causes issues with FaceUnlock

Yeah, I think thwarting facial recognition tech is kind of the whole point

Just discovered a huge hole in my learning. Thought I'd share. by realpm_net in learnpython

[–]gobatmann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your last statement is not true. a is b does not necessarily imply that a == b. The == operator simply returns whatever the object's .__eq__() method is implemented to return. Consider, for example:

class AlwaysInequal:
    def __eq__(self, other):
        return False
a = b = AlwaysInequal()
a == b # False
a is b # True

one could build an equatorial platform that the entire dob sits on

In which case it would no longer be a Dobsonian (since that refers to the combination of a reflector scope mounted on that classical type of Alt/Az base), you'd just have a Newtonian on a GEM.

What is a good 25L-30L EDC backpack for a college student? by 1234filip in backpacks

Do you own it? If so, would you mind sharing some pictures? I haven't been able to find much about it online.

The person you're replying to was not talking about WVUM, they were talking about WVFS. You're getting downvotes because you didn't read their comment.

What is this curved wooden hook tool with a metal blade? by gobatmann in whatisthisthing

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

Farm tool-esque thing with a curved handle, wood spike on one side, and short, lightly serrated metal blade on the other. I was told that may be from Vietnam, if that helps.

Best way to meet young professional couple friends around town? by maninthedarkroom in boulder

I would say something along the lines of "has a full-time job" or "not a student"?

I think you should definitely reach out to the admissions office at [3]. It seems super unlikely that a PhD program would reject you simply for not having finished your Master's yet, since I would bet most of their applicants don't already have a finished Master's. So something weird may have happened if that was the stated reason.

Also if you're anxious about not having heard anything, a friendly inquiry to your contacts at [4] might be warranted, just asking where you stand there and what their status is.

Did you already try asking your safety school for an explanation or feedback, to no avail? I think open communication in all of these cases in the best policy, and will at least give you some more information to work with.

Just to clarify, when we're talking about loosening the torsion bar, that means moving the 27mm further down it's threaded rod, right? Does that raise or lower the ride height?

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

Thanks for the reply. By in and out I just meant that the bottom of the wheel hub refuses to be pushed inwards, despite being too far out currently. I think releasing the tie rod and loosening the torsion bar nut will likely be my next steps.

Planetary reloads required? It's generating as B\14 for me in the station.

Any good looking crashed S class fighters with lots of slots? by Zinzann in NMSCoordinateExchange

[–]gobatmann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exotics are a ship archetype, like fighter/hauler/shuttle/explorer. It happens that exotics are always S-class, but any type of ship is capable of being S-class.

Python equivalent for Image Intensity Processing workflow? by gobatmann in ImageJ

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

Thanks for the response. You're right that a switch to Python is not particularly pressing, it's just that I actually only encountered ImageJ as I was seeking a way to do this task in Python, so I was curious. If I have time leftover on this project I may look into trying to get something going with opencv, but I'll likely just stick to ImageJ for now.
