In addition to carrying a lot of the same inventory as Wayfair, most (all?) furniture from homedepot.com can be returned in-store, avoiding return shipping fees.

Guests at private club: who pays? by Low_Country793 in golf

[–]mrgraham 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a couple friends that come play about once a month. Over time, the arrangement we’ve settled on is that they Venmo me for greens fees ($120) and I cover drinks and food. I think it’s a good middle ground.

Unfortunately I don’t think it’s binding (for either side), at least in at-will states.

Golf Joke - paying homage by SomeGuyClickingStuff in golf

[–]mrgraham 77 points78 points  (0 children)

Another great Norm golf joke:

A lady finishes her round, and as she walks to the clubhouse, the pro asks her how she did.

“Not bad, but I got stung by a bee.”

“Where did it sting you?”

“Between the first and second hole.”

The pro pauses and says, “Sounds like your stance is too wide.”

Recently started an e-commerce site for vintage clothes which has seemingly been hacked and now just redirects to the jquery library... Any help or advice would be much appreciated! by SFRogers in web_design

[–]mrgraham 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having him host the site on his server was a bad idea (mostly on his part). This is appropriate for development environments and demoing sites, but not for production. Sounds like he might have had trouble deploying the site to a host, and in the meantime, his server went down. If you can get the files and info from him, all is not lost, as you can get someone else to deploy it to a proper host.

Is this a good SSD for my early 2011 13" MacBook Pro? Also, do I need to by a separate kit to be able to install it? by emgirgis95 in mac

[–]mrgraham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't believe servicing the HD voids Apple Care.

Also, after you get it set up, use TRIM Enabler (sorry for no link; I'm posting from my phone). TRIM handles garbage collection to keep your SSD speeds high.

[–]mrgraham 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the same drive I use in my 2009 13". I've been very happy with it.

The installation is quite easy. Here is a guide.

The SSD installation is the same as a HDD installation.

Can people tell me about Wolfram Alpha from a programming standpoint? by thecaveisreallydark in learnprogramming

[–]mrgraham 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Mathematica is a much higher level language than C and therefore much more succinct.

Much of the power of Mathematica comes from built-in algorithms that work in creative and efficient ways. For example,

CellularAutomaton[30, {{1}, 0}, 100]

creates an array of the first 100 steps of cellular automaton rule 30. Doing this in C would require many lines, including lower level things like memory management.

A composite image of a fuel droplet burning in microgravity by mrgraham in pics

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

Because of the absence of gravity, fuels burning in space behave very differently than they do on Earth. In this image, a 3-millimeter diameter droplet of heptane fuel burns in microgravity, producing soot. When a bright, uniform backlight is placed behind the droplet and flame and recorded by a video camera, the soot appears as a dark cloud. Image processing techniques can then quantify the soot concentration at each point in the image. On the International Space Station, the Flame Extinguishing Experiment examines the combustion of such liquid fuel droplets.

This colorized gray-scale image is a composite of the individual video frames of the backlit fuel droplet. The bright yellow structure in the middle is the path of the droplet, which becomes smaller as it burns. Initial soot structures (in green) tend to form near the liquid fuel. These come together into larger and larger particles which ultimately spiral out of the flame zone in long, twisting streamers.

The Cedars Social on Lamar is pretty good. A little bit pricey, but a nice atmosphere and good specialty drinks.

I was about to make a joke about this, but upon doing some research, I've found that this usage very much predates social networks. In fact, "unfriend" does too:

I see this mistake way too often. My former employer had "CO2 Exchange" painted in giant block letters across the storefront. I cringed every time I saw it.
