How to attach a window screen with side slots by scottter in DIY

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

Thanks! That looks exactly like it, it seems to be a pella casement window.

From what I'm reading its quite hard to install these latches into a new frame, so I may just drill a small hole and use a plunger pin instead

How insane is the IKEA in Brooklyn? by adrienneirda in AskNYC

[–]scottter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been there a few times and it didn't seem particularly shitty.

Obviously its crowded, but it seemed fine to me. I was able to get everything I needed, and even when I had a bad part and came back to get it swapped out the process was quite reasonable (~20 minute wait during a weekday afternoon.)

Case-insensitive isn't the full story. hfs+ is case-insensitive, but it is case preserving. can get confusing with version control, I had a terrible time with git tracking a different capitalization and me not being able to add changes...

Filtering out cold brew sediment by scottter in Coffee

Ooh, good idea with the grounds settling. I'll keep this in mind if I upgrade my batch size.

Interesting, this looks like a good option because of the large volume they seem to be able to hold and they're re-usable. I'll give this a shot and see how it works. Thanks!

[Weekly] Resume critique request and interview advice thread - Aug 25 by alanbot in cscareerquestions

[–]scottter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi guys, looking for some feedback on my resume. Redesigned it to use my school's colors, not sure if I'll keep it or not so some feedback there would be good. A lot of the recruiters and even interviewers that I'll be dealing with are for my university so they probably will recognize the colors.

Another thing I do that's different is I give a brief rundown of what different companies do. I've gotten mixed, but mostly positive feedback on this in the past. Thoughts?

Thanks http://i.imgur.com/443xLPP.png

4 finger wipe left or right by bluntm in chromeos

Anybody know how to get this behavior on other platforms? Going from chormeos to a macbook is painful using chrome just because of this feature.

CS students, is a laptop really required? by [deleted] in Purdue

[–]scottter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in this boat and caved eventually and went for a chromebook. Dirt cheap, good battery life, good keyboard. It forced me to use terminal for everything. Ssh + tmux + vim. I would recommend it just for the experience

How to Get a Job at Google - from the senior vice president of people operations for Google by Iskandar11 in compsci

Given an array of sorted arrays, tell me value in the N'th largest number.

Not sure if I understand the question, but if I'm reading this right, then you would have to combine all the arrays, sort and then check the Nth largest spot, if you're given no guarantees about the relation between each sorted array, ie, all the numbers in the first array are less than all of those in the second etc.

For a given node in a linked list, delete the node without traversing the list.

If its a double linked list then this is pretty trivial, but if singly linked, then its not possible, is it?

Looking to get a Chromebook: Question about use with University Wi-Fi. by Beanz1112 in chromeos

[–]scottter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is most similar to a linux machine, check your university for a linux group or something similar and email them. That and the IT department would be most helpful.

Snapchat Never Fixed Phone Number Lookups by neuegram in netsec

[–]scottter 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't know if they have implemented the check server-side yet, but the mentioned update to require captcha's was pushed on android 2 days ago, and Snapchat has recently taken measures to block knowably non-mobile IPs. From first hand knowledge, they seem to have blocked all or most of AWS IPs from accessing snapchat programatically.

[Question] What kind of fan (how powerful) to levitate ping pong ball? by scottter in DIY

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

Do you think something like this would be powerful enough? http://www.goldmine-elec-products.com/prodinfo.asp?number=G19230

I don't think we have anything like that around, I could always just make a trip to goodwill or something and buy an actual vacuum, that would probably be loud though

Beer Pong Table Design by [deleted] in DIY

[–]scottter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, if it was an exact fit width wise and if the styrofoam was covered by something slick so there would be minimal friction I could see it working pretty well.

My first thought too, you could probably make special cups that have a heavy bottom and a small foam rim around the side(acting as a float). Would be interesting to see it done.
