It was meant as an addendum. I might have confused it with the chancery house on the other side of the road, streetview footage shows construction signs for a coworking space so I assumed it would be that.
The actual address seems to be from a law firm, not sure how good of a sign that is.
It's not unusual for UK companies to use their solicitor's address
Tangential but did not see it mentioned: Calibri must have been the Microsoft Word default at some point, at least in some parts of the world, because seeing it makes me think this is a Word document by a person that did not change the default font.
neat trick indeed. would be cool to do the math and get an analytical formula of mean queue time given cache refresh for a given k, under some mild assumptions.
That may have been done in the underlying paper by Mitzenmacher et al., but I haven't checked.
I'm more confident that that paper established that firing n requests at n servers will result in a max server load proportional to log(log(n)) with high probability, vs. proportional to log(n) for random -- IOW an exponential improvement in max server load over random.
> Some said it was a sign of a continued rise of Reagan and Thatcher style individualism. Cultural critic Allan Bloom deemed the Walkman "a nonstop... masturbational fantasy” in his 1987 book ‘The Closing of the American Mind.’ Neo-Luddite John Zerzan saw the Walkman as part of a modern trend that encouraged a "protective sort of withdrawal from social connections" and Thomas Lipscomb, chief of the Center for the Digital Future, equated it with the euphoric drug "soma," from Huxley's Brave New World, creating, as he put it, "an airtight bubble of sound" that was nothing but a "sensory depressant." In other words it all felt ‘a bit blackmirror’ as one might say today. (A collection of quotes collected in this 1999 Reason Magazine article)
not sure about the masturbational fantasy but the rest seems fairly spot on as a critique?
From what I remember of working with Pike, the best part was probably the included image module. Maybe I will install Pike again just to see if I still like it.
The only content regarding audio I saw here are slides 124-140, which cover beam-forming but I didn't see anything about a default beam-forming profile tied to virtual zoom.
I have unintentionally spent a lot of time parsing things in my work and side projects.
When you have a spec, parsing things, even if it's a bit terse (or awful), is not a problem. You look to the code you have to handle that terse bits with pity, but if it works, it works.
On the other hand, when you need to parse something undocumented, and it's bad (PSD, Office formats, bytestream from a dodgy IR multitouch pointer for a smartboard), you suffer to a level where every emo teen yearns and anybody who goes through real pain either feels better for themselves or hug you in empathy.
I second this, it's a great fun exercise parsing various binary file formats. At various times through my career I started with simple stuff like BMP and worked up to packetized media streams.
On the way learned a lot about bit manipulation and reading ISO type specifications.
Is this using t SNE? Or sth else? I have a feeling similarity is not well defined in whatever space this is using. t SNE is famously unsuited to plot how "close" two points are. it is for clustering
