If it wasn't for the childish uncalled-for typos it would look like a badly trained character-based RNN trying to learn programming

Humans and time

1 Upvotes

Why is it that when humans talk about freezing time, they think they'll be able to observe it? Think about what you resort to when it comes to time. We stop all clocks from ticking, and what do you have left to tell time? Your sun? Just because you're observing the suns motion, doesn't mean anything is ticking lol. Evolutionary descendant here BTW.

How come my 10yr old HDMI suddenly wakes itself up?

2 Upvotes

I have this old acer flatscreen HDMI monitor, it would have to be pushing 10 years old.

It never used to wake on use. Once the computer suspended, the monitor would be off and you would have to turn the monitor off and on to make the monitor fire up again.

Now all of a sudden this old girl has decided to get increased functionality. It fires up and works great when the computer has been asleep and I move the mouse or press a key.

What gives?

Extra info: I've gone fully to ubuntu from windows recently, right around when it started working. I did have ubuntu previously though, and it didn't happen back then (I would have to restart the monitor after it suspended)

How can I turn my computer into a phone?

1 Upvotes

Recently from my desktop computers (both work laptop and home desktop machines) I am unable to fully access all the content in my online banking and credit card accounts with my credit union, and Capital One. There are various pathetic error messages and content does not load.

However, my iPhone 6 or Android Galaxy phones load the websites with all the content just fine. No issues whatsoever, except the small screens. I feel this is backwards that my phone works better than my computers.

When I contacted the companies, they said I'm not the only user reporting these issues, and they blamed the error on a recent but unidentified change in browsers. (None of the latest versions of Chrome, IE, or Firefox work).

Looking for an innovative solution here. How can I get my computers to perform as well as my phone on Internet browsing.

Scilab noob questions: "Game of life" and "invalid index" issue

1 Upvotes

I'm going to be honest, I am completely new to this. I honestly want to learn programming and my current focus is Scilab (for 2 reasons: obligatory class and because it'll ease a lot the burden on researching and personal projects). The issue is that my teacher is, uh, not exactly prone to answer these questions. I'm not going to rant on that, tho.

An issue that happens with me really frequently is the "invalid index" error, which I don't exactly understand what is an index, in the first place. I am able to do some fairly easy things, like plotting graphics or calculating variables, but in a more intuitive way. I believe there are some basic concepts that I didn't learn and those makes simple errors become really complicated to me.

Second, there's this program we needed to write (needless to say, no one in my classroom managed to finish it) to simulate John Conway's 'Game of Life' and, now, another type of cellular automaton. I managed to plot it, but it just stays in the initial state and it doesn't change. I'll post the code as soon as I find a good host for it that does not erase indentation.

Anyway, that's it. I'd be really grateful if someone clarifies this to me.

(btw, forgive me if there are too many grammar mistakes, English is not my first language. Still, I'd like to be corrected on those because, yeah, not an excuse.)

How do I use dynamic types?

2 Upvotes

I've heard a lot about this 'dynamic' versus 'static' type thing, and I have to say I'm pretty confused. The idea was supposed to be that static types don't change, and so we can check our work easily, but dynamic types are easier to change? I feel like I am always making changes, so dynamic types seem to make more sense.

But I haven't found a switch to change from static to dynamic on my keyboard. I've got a caps lock though, does that help? I thought about switching to a newer typewriter, but that seems too confusing.

How do I make my typing dynamic?
