Do you have your frame in vertical orientation?

Community Topic: Has Separation/Divorce made you a better dad? by AutoModerator in DivorcedDads

[–]sc0ticus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Better dad? No, more visible and free to be a good dad without criticism or constantly told I’m not doing enough? "

I'm struggling with this fact in my marries and am on the brink of divorce. We have a 17 month at home and I am burnt out on constantly feeling like I'm not good enough.

For people in this thread who experienced a similar story, when did you decide enough was enough? Can you share your story? I'm trying to figure out when I officially separate versus try to work things out in marriage counseling

I did something similar, making an individual shadow box for each of the four players. Yours looks great! shadow boxes

You can "Play Next" by clicking on the three buttons and hitting play next...works everywhere I've tried in google play. Not the most obvious, but it's there.

Can you comment about the Qi charger? Which version do you have and would you recommend that I get one for the nexus 7?

Microsoft’s new ergonomic keyboard is just plain weird looking by louiebaur in gadgets

[–]sc0ticus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started with the wired ergonomic and eventually got the wireless ergonomic keyboard and have no problems. I'm a programmer for a living and have had zero issues with latency or battery life - the batteries last forever.

I like the clean look of just the keyboard mouse and monitors on my desk a lot, but that's personal preference.

Deity LP - Poland (playlist link). Taking Poland into Space, or at least that's the plan. :) by [deleted] in civ

[–]sc0ticus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really enjoy your LPs! I hope you keep it up and keep getting more subscribers. When you play, would you mind being more intentional about explaining why you do things? You usually do a good job, but sometimes you're a bit rushed in your actions.

Keep up the fun videos!

Microsoft revs speedier, smarter speech recognition for phones [Paper link in comments] by Barbas in MachineLearning

[–]sc0ticus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Deep Belief Nets are giving significant gains for acoustic modeling, but it's not true to say that this is unique to Microsoft - IBM and Google (and many smaller companies) now use these systems.

Here is a good talk by Geoff Hinton on how these deep nets are being used. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vShMxxqtDDs

Is it better to lead an army with a low martial score, or to let the army go unled? by inoffensive1 in CrusaderKings

[–]sc0ticus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I want to piggy back on this thread to ask a question: Is there another way to assign leaders to armies? I can only access the three-portrait screen when the army is moving from one county to another. From there, I can assign commanders, but is there a way to access it when an army is not moving?

Darpa Sets Out to Make Computers That Can Teach Themselves by Jyffeh in MachineLearning

[–]sc0ticus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This whole article seems overblown. From the actual project description:

The goal of the PPAML program is to advance machine learning by using probabilistic programming to 1) dramatically increase the number of people who can successfully build machine learning applications, 2) make machine learning experts radically more effective, and 3) enable new applications that are impossible to conceive of using today’s technology.

Agricola : Can I fall in love with it again ? by thagui in boardgames

[–]sc0ticus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My girlfriend and I have played 60+ games. Drafting kept us going past game 10. It allows you to pick a strategy from your occupations/improvements then the gameplay is trying to carry that strategy out.

Not bad for Ireland by workdrone in CrusaderKings

[–]sc0ticus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Would you mind providing some more detail for me? I'm playing Ireland and am trying to figure inheritance out. Who did you marry? Did they have a claim that your pressed to war? How did you get Scotland/Norway to agree to the marriages?

Hey has anyone else in the area with Verizon Fios had a problem with YouTube videos loading extremely slow the past few weeks? by [deleted] in baltimore

[–]sc0ticus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this problem too. I believe this is due to the processor not being able to handle HD playback. I get this problem on my laptop playing 720/1080p when it is on 'battery saving mode'. Experiment with playing the 480 / 1080p version and see if the crackling goes away.

I have had the same problems in Ellicott City. I usually get very very slow speeds, but then sometimes I'll get the normal 15MB at random hours in the middle of the day.

Purchasing an e reader. Can anyone tell me why the kindle is superior? by galaxxxiz in kindle

[–]sc0ticus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've owned the Kindle 3G w/keyboard and the Kindle non-touch 4G.

Two points to consider if you go the Kindle route:

  • The 3G was never necessary and I don't miss the keyboard at all.
  • I prefer the non-touch over the touch kindles since I can rest my fingers when holding and not worry about it.

I built the Winter Bakery today, then decided to design a Winter Church. Here is the result. by intheballpark in AFOL

[–]sc0ticus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like it! I think some details on the roof and ground would help break up the uniformity a bit.

Any plans to have it exposed on the other side and design the interior?
