Maybe rename it to "Load an Example" or something. Not a clear name.

I think IQ tests and similar are a filter to hire younger people without being explicit. Subtle but effective ageism.

Does anyone have this problem where `/users` present in any path in the run configuration capitalize upon Pycharm exit? e.g. https://imgur.com/2gy8S9k. (I think it happens because in the server I have /users folder and in MacOS I have /Users and it tries to autocorrect path?) It is extremely annoying as everytime I have to revert all the changes pycharm does to all my run configurations. I remember there is a bug entry for this which has been open for quite some time.

Also I am using PyCharm 2022.1.4 (Professional Edition) because they removed the functionality to edit/customize ssh interpreters in the later versions.

I love PyCharm, as I work mainly with ssh interpreters my patience is tested everyday

The content i.e. research papers they publish are mostly from government funded research. Taxpayers fund those but don't get access: we have to buy the results from these for-profit corporations.

Looking at CVPR this year, China has the most number of authors [0]. Significant portion of the US and EU authors are probably Chinese students as well. I think they are doing quite well atleast in the front of training researchers.

True, some of the Oxford colleges give a "posh" vibe: Magdalen College; some colleges are very friendly: Linacre College

Say when one gets pneumonia during covid can be quite sure that it will afflict long term issues on the lung functioning.
Same with me, I can tell immediately if I am logged in or not.

I use D8D8C0, a slighly darker shade of the background. I find it aesthetically more pleasing than the bright orange bar. Also makes the logo pop.

Missed this news, thanks! OP if you wish to use spacy try v3.

Everyone has a different way of approaching. I like video walk-throughs of papers. If you are the same, for the theory bit you may find Yannic Kilcher's videos [0,1] helpful.

On implementation side, the best project out there is [2] with good documentation. Also spacy has transformer package [3] (I personally haven't tried it), so maybe it will be easier for you to jump in if you have prior experience with spacy.

Making browser cross-platform gives a bigger user base and instills confidence in developers to take a browser into consideration when designing websites, which in turn popularizes the browser as sites work properly.

Does anyone really like this kind of scrolljacking pages? Not responding properly on an MBP 2015. The project looks so interesting that I tortured myself by scrolling till the end.

To me it feels similar to invasion of space.

You should watch Psycho-Pass. I feel you will like it.

Re:Bose's new beat on Wednesday February 03, 2016 @10:46PM (#11031851)
I am really not a fan of these kind of companies - Beats, Bose who claim to provide the best sound experience with their mumbo jumbo patented technology, sell earphones at an astonishingly high price which do not even sound good. I search for good earphones/speaker in head-fi - it's a good source of earphone reviews.

I bought MEElectronics A151[0] (1st gen) in 2012, they were at half the price of Bose earphones, and to me, sounds so much better than them. I treat them so badly - throwing them anywhere after coming back home, still going strong.

I think one should not make any compromises with earphone and eyeglasses. It was a significant purchase as I was a student then and I feel it was worth it.

I hacked this together using Parse while learning React. Idea is to build a weekly notification feed style app of different categories of news. No news in the site yet and the site itself is just barely functioning. Need to build a content management system too.
Woah, it's a treasure trove! I am definitely checking out some of the books mentioned in the thread :)

Unfortunately, some of the old and gold Springer books are available only in paper format like Shreve's Stochastic Calculus for Finance [0].

Re:Show HN: Parachuting robots – a programming puzzle on Friday October 30, 2015 @09:24AM (#10477597)
You don't need the 'goto double' line, execution is anyway going skip to 'double: left' making the line redundant

Also say each step takes one unit of time, so one 'start' loop requires 3 units to go one unit of distance, whereas 'double' takes 3 units to go 2 units of distance, even if you use one left statement in the 'double' loop, robot will still move faster than the other as it will require only two units of time to go one unit of distance.

I made it through with two [0]

To watch them run around is so cool! Cool puzzle. Nicely created site. I am trying to give them a pendulum like swing instruction right now, make them dance :P

edit: had two unnecessary instruction in the gist (because each instruction takes same amount of time to execute), and, the robots disappointed me- they can't dance
