Set it to hibernate when you close the lid. It's a full shutdown so the sleep timers don't run, but the ram contents are kept, so it's only slightly slower than starting from sleep.

That should be the default, but OEMs are weird.

I loved when my IDE would warn me that my code wasn't deterministic unless I used c++11 or newer compilers because previous versions technically didn't define how it should work, so every compiler handled it differently.

And all the times I had to specify C++11 because it had features I needed, and suddenly it was a huge headache because the testing pipeline wasn't REALLY compatible, it just said it was, and then handed it off to manual review. Something I didn't know until 6 months after I started using it...

And as all my chemistry classes taught: if there's a common name for something just use that. "Table salt" is completely acceptable as a term. As is "Vinegar" and "Water". When the exact source/concentration/purity begins to matter is when you can use your fancy terms.

Literally at my restaurant right now the burger with 3 smaller patties is more popular than the burger with 2 bigger patties. Same total amount of meat, just taller on a smaller bun...

This is the only correct answer. I never said "degrees" anywhere, so it's obviously Kelvin!

Set your water heater lower. Like: make sure it's above 120 at all times (130+ preferably) to prevent legionnaire's, but 140 is PLENTY for most home uses. And it means you get a bigger range to move your mixer taps to.

Windows won't even let you format them in fat32 anymore! Which sucks when the device you plan to use it for TECHNICALLY supports exfat, but there's lots of community posts about how the drivers for exfat regularly corrupt the drive if it tries to read/write too much...

I found out my automatic feeder is just ignoring daylight savings time. I'm getting the notifications "an hour early", and the app acknowledges them as being an hour early, but it still checks off the correct feeding time in the app, so I guess it all works out?

I don't care unless I'm drinking the Kool aid and actually really wanted the feature. If it's not something I personally use: who cares? Bit of a bummer that feels like it was all for nothing, but ultimately I still got paid for that time and effort, which is all I'm really going for anyways.

Honestly, my right hand looks BETTER than my left hand. Only explanation that makes sense to me that I've heard is that since I know I suck with my left hand, I take it much slower and pay more attention.

I found this out when an old phone stopped getting updates, so I was gonna push a third-party OS, but no, even though it was a carrier unlocked MODEL, Verizon locked it and refuses to unlock it. So the phone is just gonna be out of date forever, I guess!

To be fair, I caused a massive problem when I accidentally filled the drive completely, so I've been a little more conservative while I shop for a larger HDD. Thinking of getting a 20TB HDD so I don't have to have 4 different drives plugged into my computer. (I remember when my 3TB drive was considered crazy big...)

That's what I was thinking! Mine is over half a TB at this point!

Honestly I constantly get home and go to take out my keys and remember like 3 pieces of trash in there...

Two-Dice Pig. So not a super complicated game, but still fun to try to leverage the... 3 point totals to calculate a risk vs desperation factor. Though looking at the code again, the hard limits feel weird. Like just straight up not allowing the risk of more than 35 points at a time (100 is a winning score, tho)? Though I do remember that I HAD to add the condition to force it to claim victory or it'd essentially get too cocky and would lose everything. I know that two-dice pig is essentially a solved game (as much as you can solve a game that relies on random chance), but I felt using a lookup table was boring, and wanted it to feel like it was actually an AI that could make mistakes, and had a semblance of a personality.

Honestly one of my most competent "AIs" (that wasn't ML) just did a whole bunch of math to calculate an optimal strategy, but to make it feel more human, I added a few other things, like how desperate it was to win this round so it could have a chance of continuing, a bit of arrogance if it was winning (it was a bit heavy in the beginning. Had to add checks for "if you've already won, submit your victory instead of becoming so arrogant you lose everything!"), and to top it all off: a random number generator that could make it pick the opposite of what it wanted to if the confidence strength wasn't high enough. Just made it a little less predictable.

Honestly made every competition against it really close. And certainly way better than the people who solved it with a simple "randomly choose an action to complete"... Which was most of the class.

I find the opposite funny, too. Tripping on a chicken and suddenly gelling like 5 "quest failed" notifications for quests I didn't even have before then.

So is this more or less accurate than location by cell tower? I used to use that as an option in Llama all the time. Didn't require a GPS ping, and once I had trained it sufficiently, it was fairly accurate with minimal background work. Heck, around my work I had problems where I walked around the outside of the building and it figured I wasn't at work anymore. I'd say that's pretty darn accurate. But I know that probably only works for really dense areas with tons of towers to handle tons of phones.

Just feels like it would be more accurate than trusting that SSIDs are completely unique when there's tons of instances where the same SSID is used in multiple locations...

You tell him "stop giving away our secrets!"

And yeah, a lot of people in the comments are running away from the joke, but realistically, to copy+paste code and have it work, you generally have to have a grasp of the code, at least to ask what you want and to paste it and change the variable names, and write the lines to stitch it all together.

Add imposter syndrome on top of that, and it may seem like you don't do anything of use because you copied 3 functions out of a 1k line file.

Oh you'd better not ask about mine, then :x Mine retails for about $3k new.

Bought it barely used for a really good price.
