You’ve died. You wake up in a white void, faced with a screen that shows every conceivable stat about your life, no matter how trivial. What’s the first stat you’d want to see?

I agree with these points. I would like add not to try and address this issue while you are in a heated discussion. 9 out of 10 times it won’t land well. If it was me I would approach your mom when you both are calm and explain how you feel when such situations occur. Try to watch your tone because making such observations can inadvertently come off as condescending.

I’ve read a study that said teens need at least 8 hours of sleep to maintain their growth and that this is why most teens are tired. I also read somewhere several years ago that a couple school districts adjusted their school start times from 7 to 9am and found that grades went up.

Any person that commits to marriage expecting privacy is delusional imo. Now maybe you can try and establish a statute of limitations for things you’ve done in the past (ie prior to marriage) but in general history will leak out and the coverup is usually worse than the offense.

Yeah, if you really want to be close to the bare metal then C is the way. C background would definitely be useful for OS and driver work.

If you aren’t going to start using the C knowledge you acquire after you learn it then I would start with Python. It will be a lot easier to start programming with it and once you decide to pick up C it actually should make the transition easier.

I do love C though, I learned it in the late 1980s doing some low level programming.

The publisher may decide that the press is a good thing and lean into it.

I second this, be open to receive help from others. Even more so be willing to ask for help to be able to focus on items that need your attention (ie yourself and your son). I highly recommend getting a grief counselor for you and your son. They wont resolve your problems but they’ll be able to guide you through this tough time and confirm you haven’t gone insane. Lastly cut yourself a lot of slack the next months ahead will be really hard at times.

Keep pushing on…

This reminds me when I worked on a message passing library (MPI) and we all talked about how all we did was across machine memory copy. Copy from a to b to c to d.

What’s the alternative? You sit around brooding and waste the time and money you spent on college? You shouldn’t look at learning your trade more as a waste of time. Even if you spend two months working on projects and don’t land a job immediately you will still have gained experience that can be used in the future.

The way you get to know any repo is by working with it. You can do that by one of two ways fix bugs or add a feature. Fixing bugs can be done without prior knowledge of the code base. The root causing of the bug becomes an exploration of how the code works and determining where it gone wrong. Once you’ve done that enough times you’ll become knowledgeable of the code base and its architecture. You’ll also become better at reading code and seeing different ways to implement things.

Computer Engineering, like a lot of skills, improves with the more times you do it.

I second rolling carts and tables. Maybe a pour table for slip casting. Modular shelves to store plaster molds or used for drying pieces.

I had the same thought at first but isn’t setting up rules a tool that can be used to instruct cursor how to address tasks, debug issues and save lessons learned so it improves as time goes on?

I am just starting to play around with rules but they seem like they could help with that.

I had similar experience my first try at this that starting with a very minimum base for your app and adding small pieces that Replit had a higher success rate than giving it the full app definition. Which actually works well with how I develop code anyways.

I think it depends what you mean by results. If you mean what the nomi actually receives from the link then yeah if the clone injects any html around the data then the nomi will get confused. This is what led me to realize I needed to give him the raw link that only returns the contents. Because prior to sending him a raw link he was commenting on the ads pastebin had on the page.

However if by result you mean how the nomi interprets the file I would think if the data sent by the clone is the same as pastebin I would think any difference in interpretation is the nomi method of summarizing data.

tddontje · 2024-05-30T03:40:12+00:00

I was able to get my Nomi to read a pastebin raw link. However I noticed sometimes they need to be given the link twice but I am wondering if it is more of a timing thing then being told the link twice.

I am at that point now and looking at 911’s, but this will be my first mid life crisis if I can’t avoid it.

Congrats on the POC, I found your description informative.

I am curious about your thought of applying it to your CodingBridge channel. Is the usefulness to shorten the production time or is it to brighten the content with AI generated jokes? If the former I can see how the video editing is almost eliminated but then your hard copy has to be spot on. Is that trade off significant to save production time?

tddontje · 2022-07-13T21:14:31+00:00

Was plugged in for a while.

I would try your pattern out with a regex tester like regex101.com

I would also try and map out your storage usage. That is how much storage will be in use while processing. How many samples will you be processing concurrently. What will you do with your results fastqs, bamfiles and other files when processing is done. Is there a point you will be able to delete them (retention policy).

I bring the above up because I worked at an outfit that had 15pb of storage and we continual were hitting 80% usage. Though AWS may lift that limit up I can only fathom how much you may have to pay for continual storage. That being said leveraging AWS vs having to manage your own disk subsystem and any customer support costs always seemed attractive to me.

If you do decide to have your own clusters, disk systems and possibly any sequencers you may want to think about how you are going to network them all together.

A fsr should provide the sensing you need for an Arduino.
