@CoreFusionX Well, if you have a proof that shows P time for any problem in NP, it should be rather easy to make reductions for obtaining P time on other NP problems. Though in practice a runtime of O(n^5) might not be beneficial for solving actual problem instances efficiently

It's nice for django rest framework where an API documentation more or less falls out of the code, you just need to provide help messages on the django model

Well, in reality it's a bit more complex than that, using a 3rd party tool for better docs and having to manually annotate a bit of stuff if you hack Django to do weird stuff, but definitely better than an undocumented API or a documentation that gets outdated around the second it's finished

@lbfalvy I think "simple user" and "simple Arch setup" doesn't exactly fit together, but on a different distro you are probably right

How can you design a new architecture and then be evaluated as "not senior"? Like, isn't designing software what makes a developer senior?

Hairpin NAT or something?

Paying 10 Bitcoins is probably cheaper than the Oracle audit otherwise

@AlmondSauce If I remember correctly it's not like your storage quota usage would be raised for Google Photos unlimited end, but rather that new ones would account for your quota. The ones that are still in the cloud shouldn't account for storage usage

@bittersweet When your problem size is limited, any algorithm runs in O(1) anyway 😛

@mr-user 🤫

Is "must not end in a number" the mitigation of "You have this and that password requirement and each month you need to increment the number at the end by 1"?

Well, I mean, if you already know the combination, it shouldn't be a problem

LaTeX error messages anyone?
You can consider yourself lucky if the error is at least near your actual error

Got a new router sent from my ISP as the other one had the wrong profile with less upload than defined in my contract...

MacBook Air 2020 i5 (pre-M1) here, and I'm happy with it. It's not a power machine, but I have a desktop for it. The touchpad and macOS integration is awesome.
It's getting quite loud when doing video conference though (I mitigate that with Noise Cancelling headphones)

@matt-jd SPA is a single page application, where everything is done through transitions

@AlmondSauce Well, peer review is still a thing and I think it's not very cheap. Other than that, yes, scientific publishing is definitely overpriced.

There are some non-profit publishers which only cost a fraction of what others do, this should be the standard

@0x0000FFFF Pretty sure your latency is not 1ms.

This is a nice article about editor latency from a jetbrains developer and basis for their effort on zero-latency typing (included as default since 2017.1 IDEs)

Edit: this is for typing latency. Having a Virtual Desktop will add some latency additionally, and I would guess that it adds more latency than just the network connection itself

@3rdWorldPoison I'm using REPL (IPython though) for calculator stuff or testing whether something is a syntax error

@AlgoRythm 😡

Gem from my colleague in python:
f"{value}"

And, yes, value was always a string

@theabbie It's a unicode character for the "a" such that you think this is the official page, but it's actually phishing

Well, I guess it's not clear from my rant that this was only the official version as he mentioned that website out of the blue (without anyone asking for it) and it was more or less like, "I am not allowed to advertise these websites, so I will officially recommend against using it"

He even posted that website in the chat so that we know which website to not open by accident

They also made a statement about this:
https://github.blog/2020-11-16-stan...

While I really appreciate their measures taken to prevent such situations in future, I feel like there is an apology missing in that blog post.
But that is complaining on a high level

@iiii I think the truth lies somewhere in the middle. At least if you stick to a certain vendor, more money translates roughly to better specs.
I studied CS though, so I'm not a capitalism expert

I also get every ~3 days some article that says THIS new device is more powerful than a Raspberry Pi.
Then I'm like yeah... but it does not work with raspbian, you don't have the giant community and on top of that, I don't want to pay triple the price of 35$ for a toy computer.

I mean, wow, if you pay more, you get better specs. Congratulations, article, you have understood one basic principle of capitalism

Did you try to delete and clean install?
Spotify was also slow for me (to the point that I had to wait even minutes until some song was playing, and my Spotify enabled alarm always falling back to default alarm because of timeout) but afterwards it was fine.

The problem is that it sometimes actually makes sense to autoplay, so it is not convenient.
Thinking here of WhatsApp Web (using notification sound on new message) or YouTube (if you get sent a link, the video autoplays). When you click on a YouTube link, you will most likely expect the video to play and not expect to click an additional time.

@uyouthe Used to be like this, but with a Raspberry Pi 4 it is not shared anymore, this is the first Pi with true Gigabit LAN

@bittersweet I think Bose addressed this issue intelligently by announcing the left battery life on their NC 700 headphones when started. That way you know when it's time to charge

@AkshayTolwani That's only for recurring payments, after you are subscribed for a year
