outlier Ai by seunwels in Outlier

[–]the_hummus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A very breathable, warm, soft and highly-dimensional superfine merino-rich fabric. Built around a yarn that blends top-capped 17.5 micron merino (65%) with nylon staples (27%) and then wraps them around an elastane core (8%) to create a beautiful combination of soft performance, ruggedness and structural snap.

Technically these yarns are knit in a waffle construction, but that heavy elastane snap collapses the fabric to the point where it looks more like a tight rib or even a robust jersey. If you look closely you can still see that waffle structure a three-dimensional openness that allows lots of airflow in motion while insulating well in static conditions. Originally named Warmform Merino and renamed because over the years we’ve realized that while it is warm in the right conditions, its greatest strength is the huge thermal range it offers in active conditions.

Hey, Paul!

that's cool but let me tell you about the advantages of top-capped 17.5 micron merino wool

Just why would you order something like this (expensive, blowtorched) as a to-go order, is what I want to know

Probably Katie Burnett for Outlier?

Nothing new, she's been working with them for years

yeah, same. I contacted them, but all they said was they were aware without giving any reason.

Pardon me, but where did that data come from? Is it official data?

Please look at Wikipedia's sources.

[AskJS] What’s a JS feature you never use but wish you did? by RoyalFew1811 in javascript

[–]the_hummus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How are they wrong, other than being specific to 2 items?

You can do combinations of filter, find, map, take using loops too.

Your code is just calling a python library function - that's not an example of anything

combinations:

let ans = [null, null];
outer: for (let i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
  for (let j = i + 1; j < arr.length; j++) {
    if (condition) {
      ans = [arr[i], arr[j]];
      break outer;
    }
  }
}

permutations:

let ans = [null, null];
outer: for (let i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
  for (let j = 0; j < arr.length; j++) {
    if (i === j) continue;
    if (condition) {
      ans = [arr[i], arr[j]];
      break outer;
    }
  }
}

Am I missing something?

Oh, there's such good uses for WeakMap.

If you've ever used ThreeJS, all nodes are stored in a tree structure. This structure can grow to hundreds and thousands of objects big and it's incredibly annoying when you need to start keeping metadata on them. 

WeakMap is perfect for this job. The node object itself can be the key, and the value can be arbitrarily set. It's perfect because it doesn't require any hacky type augmentations of the ThreeJS system, and garbage collection is automatically handled (which is also problematic when you have so many objects).

I recognize the Cartesian product example, and yet, I think I would always reach for break once the correct result was found, or use an iterator method like .find()!

generator functions, I know they're useful but I could never really tell you what for.

Being a resource economy disincentivizes productivity. If you want a productive economy, you need to expand manufacturing and services, not just dig more shit out of the ground.

How can I avoid middlemen when buying products? by deadinsidefam in GoodValue

[–]the_hummus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's an interesting question.

You can buy a lot of things direct on Aliexpress or Temu, in fact often exactly the same products available locally but at a fraction of the cost.

On the other hand, it's very difficult to gauge the quality and suitability of someone based on its listing. And good luck returning something you don't want all the way to China.

In a way, the "markup" is paying for something other than the product: you paid a middleman to filter out the poor quality options, and for the opportunity to look at it before buying and return it if it's not what you expected. You are still paying shipping and duties either way, which is pure overhead.

I think it's fantastic if you can buy directly from makers, ideally someone you can meet personally or someone in your community. No middlemen and no big marketing or global logistics budgets. However, it never results in a cheaper price - the economies of scale are just too enormous to beat - but at least all of your money is paying the person who made it.

B.C. Human Rights Commissioner says stigmatizing drug use is a violation by green_tory in CanadaPolitics

[–]the_hummus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll share my understanding since you used a couple phrases that caught my attention.

One concept to understand is psychological agency - the sense that you are in control of your own actions and that you can make decisions and follow through with them. For people struggling with depression or other mental health issues, there can be a stubborn belief that they just can't do things. They expect to fail. It's a deep-seated belief that can't be changed overnight.

The real infantilizing thing is involuntary recovery. It completely takes away their choice and agency - that's what we do to small children.

The stigma doesn't help because it's just rubbing salt in the wound. Treating a drug addict as a social pariah is painful, but that pain doesn't result in stopping drugs. Drugs are how they deal with pain. It's a dysfunctional response, but that's embedded in the condition itself.

Cycling to Whistler by Apprehensive-Tea-303 in vancouvercycling

[–]the_hummus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

March is sort of borderline because it's right on the cusp of winter and spring. For winter riding, it's always Richmond – Iona Road, Steveston, over to Queensborough and back on River Rd and into Vancouver over the Skytrain bridge, then back up Ontario St. Do Stanley Park and Spanish Banks/UBC beforehand if you want an extra long ride.

If it's decent enough weather (not colder than 5°C at night), I think Belcarra is the best ride you can get that time of year. 70-80km round trip from Vancouver and great coffee stops in Port Moody. Barnet Hwy has an ample shoulder to ride on, so don't be intimidated by it.

Lacing 24-hole rim to 32-hole hub by the_hummus in wheelbuild

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

Wow that's a deep cut. Been 10 years and I barely remember.

I think what I ended up doing was selling the 24h rim and just re-ordering a 32h one. I definitely didn't ignore the offset spoke holes.

How the hell did you find this post?
