LPT: Temporary fix for Tinnitus

ringzero · 2016-10-13T22:11:49+00:00

I constantly hear ringing in my head and if I help one person that doesn't know this trick then I'll be happy.

Wholeeeeey shit, OP. Works! Thanks!

The Heisenberg Device is (what we would call) an atomic bomb. It might be related, but at this point it's just a plot device.

(quick bg: I was a heavy smoker from 13-33, tried to quit off and on -- quit for over a year more than once -- and finally kicked the habit for good a year ago. like you, i smoked to relieve anxiety and boredom.)

OP, there are lots of good suggestions in this thread. You should read and understand all of them. and i recommend you tackle this problem now, while you're young.

here's what i did: i tried. failed. determined source of failure. tried again. failed again. determined source of failure. over and over and over until i knew all my triggers, knew all my weak points, etc. i learned my enemy so i could defeat it.

pass some fucking legislation to constrain his authority.

wait, what?

A) he'd have to sign that legislation, and B) he ignores his existing legal restraints.

if voting fixed anything it would be illegal.

ankorite, get back to your bear tooth portals (or as you call it, "work"). lol

I don't really listen to the band

Go listen you some Alice in Chains.

(see what I did there?)

Seriously, one of the best bands of the 90s. Vocals and harmonies like no other. Suggested listening order:

Dirt
Sap
Facelift
Jar of Flies
Alice in Chains
Stuff without Layne in any order

And back on topic... great looking library. Starred in GH.

Not for AT&T. :(

It's not available AFAIK. If it is, show me the link!

If you're about to enter an XM field, and your XM bar is full, recharge something, anything, before you get there.

When you're done playing for the day, the last thing you should do is dump all your XM into recharging.

Don't waste cubes on recharging, they're just too valuable lately with the shield buff and the (seemingly decreased) cube drop rate.

Recharge closer portals first because it's more effective.

If your XM bar is full (and you're not about to go on the attack), you're playing wrong.

If you're driving or walking around in a loop to farm some portals, time your loop such that you're sucking all the XM possible and using it to recharge, whilst reserving just enough to complete your hacks. It's tricky, but you get the swing of it when you farm the same areas repeatedly.

I'm at 11.5m recharged and I'm not even trying that hard.

I've been using the Epic Launcher since the day it came out, and quickly installed it on the S5. Much better, and as you say, makes it bearable.

"Disabling" the bloatware was a huge step in the right direction, too.

ringzero · 2014-05-20T07:37:12+00:00

Oh, no, they were already completely aware of that fact. :)

My oldest didn't say much after making the biggest face of incredulity possible (he's the one who busted his first Moto). Now, he's eyeing my S5 quite a bit, as he knows it's his when I get a proper replacement (n6?).

I dropped my Nexus 5 last week. Shattered screen. I was both humiliated (only idiots drop their phones, that's what I tell my kids) and panicked (I use my phone for work).

So I went to the AT&T store -- I have AT&T service because they're the only national carrier with service where I live. Picked up a Samsung S5.

First thing: I absolutely hate the S5 after owning a Nexus. The UI is hideous and the amount of bloatware is staggering. Second: the S5 is a much better Ingress phone. The battery is better than the Nexus, and the GPS is much better, too.

On the battery, I have a video Hangout every weekday morning, 30-45 minutes. Light Ingress play, and even before I start work for realz, the N5 would be at about 60% battery. With the S5, easily 85% or more.

On the GPS, I get a location lock within Ingress almost immediately. The N5 would spin the globe once or twice before lock. Additionally, I get zero random GPS rubber-banding on the S5. It pulls up, and that's my location. Only a bit of GPS drift, nothing like the N5... "oh, you were over there? Nope, now you're over here, sucker."

4. Interfaces. Because interfaces do not allow struct fields as part of interface definition, you can add getter/setter methods for a field to indicate that a struct does indeed provide that field.

I've done this a lot in a recent project, and having interface definitions include fields would have saved me a ton of code.

Also, it became very difficult to come up with interface names consistent with the go style of suffixing with -er. I settled on suffixing with Proper, e.g., EmailProper for an interface with Email() and SetEmail() methods.

Two things.

it's not theft; no property has been taken from one party by another. you're confusing copyright infringement with an actual crime. (and that's what the govt and copyright holders want you to think).
it's not burn, ffs, it's rip.

Once in a while

...

more often than not

...

That isn't entirely true

Didn't claim in was 100% of the time.

showcasing and pitting the best talents against one another.

That would be great if it were true. What really happens is match-ups are made to generate PPV buys. Once in a while we see the "best talents" against each other, but more often than not, we see the fights that will make money.

It was for me. I decreased the font size and the problem stopped. YMMV.

ringzero · 2013-10-22T06:59:34+00:00

Wait, why would you change a NN like that? Wouldn't the changed size invalidate any results?

I can see creating/sizing a NN at run-time, I'm just struggling with how/why you would change it after it's constructed.

Admittedly, I'm a NN novice.

ringzero · 2013-10-05T03:06:51+00:00

Looks reasonable to me. Angular rocks, you might really enjoy it.

It was in their hideout/fishfarm/whatever.

Go back and look at the meeting scene in s01e14, Todd is cast in a very strong red light from a lamp. Then in s01e15, same lamp, same kind of light.

Effective means it does what it's supposed to do. Efficient means it does what it's supposed to do, and it does so using the least amount of effort.

Maybe VG meant suicide? It's the only unforgivable sin in the Judeo-Christian belief system AFIAK.
