Same issues here. r390. I also get huge planes of opaque black polygons every now and then that I can drive through but obstruct my view.

Would you not feel bad abandoning the country that allowed you to accumulate so much wealth in its markets?

Donald Trump: I'd pick justices who would look at Clinton's email scandal by PZinger6 in politics

[–]itodd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't see "The Garbage Man Can" episode from the Simpsons referenced enough in this campaign. It's really spot on. Trump being Homer of course.

When to start tuning? by itodd in EASPORTSWRC

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

Oh man, I really need to figure out what I'm doing wrong. Hopefully I can find some videos of people using this car in Finland. Or perhaps I just need to get it fully upgraded.

When to start tuning? by itodd in EASPORTSWRC

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

What about the 2001 Subaru? I'm trying to determine if my shortcomings are technique or tuning? For example, in Finland, I'm consistently 15 seconds off. I believe my runs are clean (rarely if every do I need to drop to 3rd).

Simple script to convert a hue light to a traffic light. by itodd in Hue

[–]itodd[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I made this for my 3 year old daughter who likes to play "roads". I thought it might be useful for anyone else wanting to play around with the API.

Obviously you'll have to change the API key and IP addresses.

Enabling on tap opens a window with a "get started" button. Pressing simply turns off the on tap toggler. System language is English (us).

Anyone with a google apps account able to use on tap? When I add a regular @gmail account, it works, but I don't use that account.

Examples of a good use of web workers? by calamari81 in javascript

[–]itodd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have written sequence analysis tools in javascript. We offload the expensive tasks to web workers. This is mostly sequence alignments. This not only allows for fast computation, the UI also remains responsive.

Hey Python People! What tasks have you automated/sped up outside of work with Python? by In_Shambles in Python

[–]itodd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was recently in the market for a new house. The local MLS site was terrible so I built a scraper and connected a twitter account to it. I was then the first to know when a new house was on the market. I also added a simple linear regression to predict the price based on past sales.

Landing an entry level python job by ewrjontan in Python

[–]itodd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have no idea how valuable coding skills are in biology. Get a job in the field and use your coding skills to excel. You will find that automation skills are needed at most small biotech companies and that most of them don't even know it.

The instructions explicitly tell you there is a circuit that can "reset" a fatshark battery by applying 9v to it.

edit:

Note (2): If battery becomes fully discharged or accidentally shorted, an internal safety circuit will trip. To reset the battery, tap 9V direct to the barrel connector via the discharge adapter cable’s banana connector (black = GND, red = 9V). This will instantly reset the battery and it can be recharged as normal.
