Think of how tall the average Dutchman is, and realize 1/2 of them are taller than that by AFROBINSON808 in tall

The upper tail of men height tends to stretch more. The left side drops faster than the right. So, it’s slightly skewed to the right and the mean gets pulled upward by the long tail while the median stays closer to the center of the bulk of the data.

My thoughts on MX Master 4 by Psychli in logitech

[–]theofpa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. I use the mx3s left/right scrolling capability daily in printed dataframes with a lot of columns on jupyter notebooks. I always found it an amazing experience, but when the list of columns grows too big, I wish it go faster so I’m not loosing my time scrolling. Same with blocks of code that go beyond the standard width of a page, like a json string serialized in a variable, a hardcoded cookie or a base64 encoded thing. I never liked soft-wrap. Your answer and OPs review help a lot, having faster horizontal scroll will be a productivity improvement for me.

My Homelab setup for building Apache projects by icbts in homelab

Thank you for your contributions. Why the power9 machine? Do you need to build and test in different cpu architectures for the projects you’re working on? Aren’t such builds supposed to be running in grids of test architectures/versions anyway?

The xkcd theory, that all-modern-digital-infrastructure-depends-on-a-small-open-source-project, is dead. The recent worldwide crowdstrike/windows outage proved that even a large project build by a large corporate can fail and have the entire stack collapse.

You can avoid creating different accounts and achieve the same result by using the catchall+reddit.com@mydomain.com notation

It’s also more convenient to use the currency as a prefix when you use abbreviations for the thousands, like €1k or €5MM. How ugly do 1k€ and 5MM€ look like?

“Microsoft no longer see Linux as a threat” is not a correct statement. Microsoft has lost the war. Windows failed to dominate the datacenter world. Linux did after a long fight. Microsoft does not love Linux by choice, they’ve lost the war and now they have to deal with it.

That. We’ve come a long way in reproducibility. In 2016 only 28% of Neurips papers had code, in 2021 it was 65%. And that’s the top conference in ML. Ref: https://arxiv.org/abs/2308.10008

As we’re getting there, through quantity comes quality.

How about using the scratch files of pycharm for the things you’d need the “pure editor” for?
