necessary commented on Fix the iOS keyboard before the timer hits zero or I'm switching back to Android   ios-countdown.win/... · Posted by u/ozzyphantom

My guess is that the 'wrong letter entered' bug is by design.

The keyboard animation happens on the touchdown event, whereas the letter is entered into the text box on the touchup event.

Between the two, more information might emerge about the touch - for example the exact shape of the touched area, and movement during the touch, etc.

I would guess the keyboard sees a down in one spot, and an up in a slightly different spot which falls into another letter.

You can indeed see this behavior in action by tapping a letter and briefly swiping slightly to an adjacent letter. Maybe I’m missing something but I don’t see why the letter should be submitted on touch-up, since I’ve never intentionally tried to correct an individual letter between touch-down and touch-up.

I think its interesting that mainstream PC gaming press is now talking about Linux. We have the benchmark Youtube channels doing some benchmarks of it as well and plenty of reports of "it just works", which is pretty promising at least for the games that aren't intentionally excluded by DRM. For me its still controllers and equipment incompatibility due to my VR headset and sim wheel/pedals setup, I use Linux everywhere else in my router and home servers. I just hope that Nvidia notices that there does appear to be a swing happening and improves their driver situation.

This is a big reason I’m excited for Steam Frame - high quality VR on the Linux desktop.

Excellent article. In this vein, are there any books, articles, or other media that we can learn more of these sorts of principles from?
necessary commented on Why Writing by Hand Is Better for Memory and Learning   scientificamerican.com/ar... · Posted by u/andsoitis

Generally, it is true that writing by hand is better for recall and memory. However, teachers often use this as a justification to force students to handwrite everything, which can be very counterproductive for a subset of students.

I am currently in high school and have taken 17 AP classes. I have tried taking notes time and time again and have consistently found that they do not help me at all. I have a 3.99 GPA, 1570/1600 SAT, and have received 5s on all of my AP Exams. I know how to study and know what works best for me. I am not a notes person, and when teachers force their "scientific" teaching methods upon me, it does nothing but harm my learning and waste time.

I love the idea of science being incorporated into learning but we need to make sure students are allowed to discover what works best for them.

Nice to see adults (re)learning math. It's one of the rare subjects that are guaranteed to provide "knowledge buzz" and also widely applicable.

<shameless plug>For other adults interested in learning math, check out my (nonfree) book here: https://noBSmath.com/ PDF preview and sample chapter: https://minireference.com/static/excerpts/noBSmath_v5_previe... I also have a longer book that includes calculus and physics (cf. links in profile). </shameless plug>

Thanks for posting these - these books look like exactly what I have been looking for recently! I'm someone who procrastinated and crammed my way through high school and undergrad level maths and then promptly forgot all of it once I finished schooling. I plan on working through them soon. Hopefully this isn't an annoying question, but do you still intend to publish a guide to statistics?
necessary commented on On loyalty to your employer (2018)   medium.com/hackernoon/on-... · Posted by u/Peroni
beastman82 · a year ago
very strong antiwork sentiment these days. It's sad. The employers are taking a risk by hiring you and paying you, and you should work as hard as you can during business hours. That ethic is very rare in tech but is somewhat common in every other industry I've worked in.

Why must employees put in 100% effort? Where does that expectation come from? I’d be surprised if most companies put in 100% effort to support each employee.

Isn’t it all about expectations in the end? The company expects you to meet some set of goals. Conversely, you expect the company to give you benefits and payment.

Can you illuminate the legitimate reasoning behind the OP then? If you have a claim that people have the wrong idea about Trump, then why not provide some of your own evidence?

necessary commented on A year of uv: pros, cons, and should you migrate   bitecode.dev/p/a-year-of-... · Posted by u/bertdb

Like so many other articles that make some offhand remarks about conda, this article raves about a bunch of "new" features that conda has had for years.

> Being independent from Python bootstrapping

Yep, conda.

> Being capable of installing and running Python in one unified congruent way across all situations and platforms.

Yep, conda.

> Having a very strong dependency resolver.

Yep, conda (or mamba).

The main thing conda doesn't seem to have which uv has is all the "project management" stuff. Which is fine, it's clear people want that. But it's weird to me to see these articles that are so excited about being able to install Python easily when that's been doable with conda for ages. (And conda has additional features not present in uv or other tools.)

The pro and con of tools like uv is that they layer over the base-level tools like pip. The pro of that is that they interoperate well with pip. The con is that they inherit the limitations of that packaging model (notably the inability to distribute non-Python dependencies separately).

That's not to say uv is bad. It seems like a cool tool and I'm intrigued to see where it goes.

The killer feature of uv for me is much faster uv pip install -r requirements.txt.
