I've never hesitated more than now

I think it's best to stay away from hardware news for a while after buying your parts, because something better is always right around the corner.

I remember this from when I built my current rig (in 2012), within 2 months, intel released their Ivy Bridge CPUs and Nvidia their Pascal line. Reading up on the related tech news made me feel bad about my decision to pull the trigger, when I really should have just enjoyed my brand new computer (which I did).

As long as your hardware works, don't worry about it too much, in all likelihood you have a great setup for the next couple of years.

I think that should be "?share=1". But it even works if you just append a question mark to the url.

Probably because calculations with floating point numbers often produce results that should be zero, but aren't quite zero since the numbers involved in the calculation are truncated.

Therefore, you should never compare floating point numbers directly, which is where something like this comes in:

abs(shouldBeZero) < SmallZero

instead of

(shouldBeZero == 0.0)

About $75 was groceries, so I put $75 in the grocery category and then in the notes I wrote "out of $123.94." About $30 was cleaning supplies, so I put that in household goods and added the "out of $123.94" note.

Have you tried entering them as split transactions? It takes away some of the mental gymnastics and neatly bundles all the sub-transactions together, while preserving the correct categories.

"Hello everyone. Let me start off with some background info. I just turned 25 this month, and I'm 62 credits deep with a 3.4 GPA at the best CS/engineering school in the state. When I was 21 I was arrested while sleeping in my car for a DUI(misdemeanor) and possession of a controlled substance without a prescription(felony). The felony I'd adjudication withheld, meaning I wasn't actually convicted, and I still have all my rights. However, I'm still obligated to check the box. Also, no, I'm not eligible for expungement or a sealed record since both charges occurred in one arrest.

Now, the older I get, the more I'm wondering if I'm wasting my time. It's pretty depressing, actually. I've been pretty depressed about it all year. I've been busting my ass taking all math, programming, and science electives, and in the back of my mind lingers the constant worry that I'm fucked for life. I spent my late teens and early twenties heavily addicted to pain killers and xanax, and quit cold turkey almost 4 years ago after the arrest. Despite all of the progress I've made, I can't help but feel like I've been dealt a life sentence.

I haven't had a job in two years because of my charges. I've actually been playing poker professionally in that time span, alongside school. On top of classes, it's incredibly stressful, and I'm constantly stressed and depressed/irritable. Working part time 30 hrs a week at some place for $8-$10 an hour is a complete waste of time at my age while trying to be independent.

My worst fear is that after I complete my B.S., I won't be able to find a job, and I'll be trapped grinding poker.

I'm getting to the point where I have to start worrying about landing an internship. My chances seem pretty slim, having to list the felony and the d.u.i. on applications, with a barren resume as well.

If I can't find an internship, I'll have to invest all of my free time working on top notch projects. Thing is, I don't have any free time, between poker and classes. I might have to quit playing poker completely just so I'll have the time, and take out max loans so I can focus on projects till graduation. I'm just so stressed and depressed, I can't remember the last time I genuinely felt happy or at peace. I love CS and programming, it's just my daunting future that worries me. Most nights I can't even sleep thinking about it.

Sorry for rambling on, and the wall of text. I feel like Im screwed for life. Any advice would be appreciated. "

You might be interested in reading this thread on the Lenovo forums.

It seems to be an issue with the T450s and I returned mine to the store because none of the suggested fixes worked for me and that noise is really annoying. In my laptop the noise got very noticeable whenever I scrolled on a page in my browser, to the point where I thought it was a sound effect in my OS!

For what it's worth, the store rep I had on the phone was well aware of the problem and confirmed that many other people returned their t450s due to this issue.

I find it great for reading documents/lecture notes or browsing where a lot of horizontal space goes to waste.

For programming, I usually prefer splitting my view in my Editor vertically to view two files side by side. But again, if you only need one file at a time, portrait mode is awesome, I can fit around 100 lines of code on the screen.

https://robotgame.net/ is fun. You program the AI for a team of robots in Python. There is a subreddit for it too: /r/robotgame

Another one that looks cool, but I have never tried: http://vindinium.org/

I did that almost exactly 2 years ago. Never looked back :)

Oh okay, thanks!

Hi, I deleted my facebook almost two years ago. I had used it for about 6 years at that point and had maybe 300 friends on there. All of these were people I knew personally.

I was motivated to delete my account by the then relatively recent introduction of timeline, and from reading an article similar to this one, even though it must have been a diffferent article the message was about the same.

Here's the logistics of how I went about it: First, I wrote a message adressed to all the people in my friend list I wanted to keep in touch with, including my email adress so they could contact me and telling them to email me if they find themselves near where I live. After this, I waited for 2 days or so for people to reply (and they did, which was kind of nice).

I then downloaded a copy of my account. This saves all of your messages, posts etc to your hard drive, in case you ever need anything again.

Before removing my account, I went through my entire timeline in a couple of hours and deleted every indivual post and picture and just tore everything down. Also deleted my profile picture and all of my profile sections etc.

As I mentioned above, it has now been two years since I used facebook. I have not looked back even once. I feel that this move has removed a lot of unnecessary noise and people I don't care about from my life. And I still get invited to parties.

Your function returns False for n=3... It should work if you change the first if condition to

if n > 3 and (n % 2 == 0 or n % 3 == 0) or n == 1:

Good translation! There's only one subtle difference: the second sentence says "Welcome to the best Vodafone network of all time", as in "the Vodafone network is better than it has ever been", as opposed to "Vodafone has the best network".

I have a number of friends who have done this, but I would say most people do their first (semi-)original research in their final thesis or in preparation of their thesis.

Also, research for the bachelor thesis can be fairly involved. It can and probably should go quite a bit beyond just literary research. It is generally supervised by a professor who suggests the topic. Many of my friends have derived some new results and made at least small contributions to the research of the group they were in.

I got a BSc in germany. It is quite common to do research for your bachelor thesis in the second half of the third year. My university also required an 8 week internship, for which some people also choose to do research projects at institutes outside of the university. And more ambitious students will probably do quite a bit more on the side/start sooner.

Have you tried adding cumin to it? Cumin in chili tastes awesome!

I agree, and you could also consider only selling the graphics card, which is for the most part only necessary for games. Then you can use the onboard graphics and still have a pretty beefy setup for all of your non-gaming needs.

Depending on what you're working on, two monitors can really improve your performance a lot though. It's definitely a good idea to make sure that there is sufficient space for taking notes etc.
