WestCoastJustin , a lot of your comments got marked as dupes, because they are identical to each other. I've gone through and vouched them for you, so now they will show up, but new ones will have the same problem. Perhaps you can mod

The drone ship is just docking now, once it's docked they will crane the first stage off and take it over to pad 39A to perform test firing. There is a lot of extra information at the SpaceX subreddit and the Nasa Spaceflight Forums.

What are people already doing in this space? Specifically, are there any technologies out there or in development that aim to reduce infection rates related to the use of medical devices? What remediation processes are used to reduce infect

There wasn't any equivocation in the parent between this event and mass murder. The mass murder example is a counter point to the (implied) argument in the grandparent that "[getting] the attention of an incredible number of peopl

I can't comment on that directly, except to say that both are very interesting and that I enjoyed the blog post more. One is a beautiful demonstration of metaballs, and the other is a technical description of how to get a similar resul

I was confused at first, because the authors are different for these two things. The current link, fake and cheap metaballs, references the original bumpy metaballs, but only to compare the fast-but-fake version to a slow and complete versi

For what it's worth: - I'm sure there are new people who have never heard of it before, I used to be one of them and your presence made it much more visible (that and everyone talking about how they trusted you to do crypto...)

Any idea where the speedups came from? Is it that the problems weren't algorithmically limited in the first place (lots of io for example), reduction of overhead etc (what kind of python was the code running on before?), or just that t

Is anyone aware of which Greg Egan is referenced in the article? I couldn't see any links to the original work, but I might be blind. I suspect that it is the Australian scifi author, as it is the sort of thing he has done before, but

It should be clear that 27 arbitrary distinct lines do not form a smooth cubic surface, as it is easy to create a counter example eg. consider three lines through a single point and mutually orthogonal (the three axes say). There is no

I couldn't see it in the post, but I'm interested in how much this specific event, and future events, allow us to tighten the bounds on our models. It's mentioned a few times that the size of the black holes/other model

If you want to, you can email the mods to get them to change it. In any case congrats! I look forward to trying this out.

To clarify, because it may not be clear without looking at the accompanying graphic in the article, 1800s in this case refers to the decade, not the century. That is, more books in the years 1800-1809 than 1990-1999.

Sydney is one of the most expensive housing markets in the world [1]. It was actually much higher in the list, but the weak Australian dollar means that the US dollar stretches quite a bit further. I seem to recall that cost of living in Sy

FYI, this was broken behind my company proxy. I think the proxy was rewriting the "Content-Range" request header, which is used in the function (papaparse.js:533): function getFileSize(xhr) { var contentRange = xhr.getResponse

When your parser accepts trailing commas, it becomes much easier to edit your lists and objects. In standard json, the last element in a list or object is special, in that it can't have the trailing comma. Thus you have to special case

That was my impression as well. There have been a number of comments from people who find the idea of the markets 'unfun', or just not relevant to the roles and tasks they want to be doing. My impression from what has been release

This looks very promising! Hopefully this means the data can be incorporated into projects like OpenStreetMaps, though I have no idea if it is appropriate (I guess it would be) nor if it's already incorporated or not (I would guess not

One theory bandied about is that the initial partner companies that Starfighter is working with (ie the ones looking to hire) includes a disproportionate number of financish companies such as might be found on the east coast. I wouldn'

I'm fully expecting to vigorously pick off the low-hanging fruit from the tech trees when they're released, getting sucked into some of the harder problems on one, before bouncing between them as I get stuck and frustrated :)

I'm really excited for this to come out. The release email had the following before the text you can see in the submission: Helu, This is Thomas. Here is a thing somebody wrote about Stockfighter, our project, which we're sending

The impact to SpaceX probably wouldn't be that big. The amount of fuel required to get to the space station is within an order of magnitude of that required to cross the Atlantic in an aeroplane. The Falcon 9 uses about 112000 litres o

Thanks for posting this. Is it possible to change the link to the non-mobile version? On mobile it will redirect automatically, but the mobile version is a bit janky to read on desktop. It's a pretty minor thing, and it's not that
