The point is you can always pick a "part" of some place small enough to make any statement of that sort true. Pick a couple of square meter where someone died: "everyone died in parts of X". Pick the area around a couple

Thank you for sharing your perspective. It's nice to read something positive once in a while! :)

Exactly. The camera is the only thing I will care about N years down the line when I look at pictures from past phones. It's a realization I've had only somewhat recently ~1-2 years ago.

Thanks for the recommendation, I'll check it out!

I was under the impression there were a few big issues with the openness of the reMarkable. Don't remember the details, but at some point I decided it wouldn't be for me. But this seems like I may be wrong? This seems like there s

I think this goes back to "The complex-step derivative approximation" from 2003 by J. Martins, P. Sturdza and J. Alonso. [0] That paper is a great read! [0]: https://doi.org/10.1145/838250.838251

Oh now _that_ clearly sounds like a nice future to live in. Surely those would only do it for the greater good! /s

The ROOT interpreter cling (and cint before it) have always been known for being incredibly brittle. Segfaults are _extremely_ common. If you think you can continue your REPL session after most kinds of errors, you're mistaken. It does

Just as an interesting bit: Inside of the Sun there are regions with significantly stronger fields. In particular the solar tachochline, a region at around 70% of the Sun's radius has fields of up to sometimes assumed 10 T. It's t

> premise of MOND is correct Well, typically the term MOND refers to very specific modifications of Newtonian gravity and doesn't even take into account GR. So I'm not sure I would agree with the statement in general terms (n

As someone who spends a good amount of time on iracing, what annoys me most about VR not taking off more is the lack of improvements in VR headsets. We just get more high-end stuff like the Varjo Aero, Bigscreen Beyond or Pimax Crystal, but

Well, the thing is you can have two y axes, but they must be simple transformations one another. The reason being (iirc, don't want to put words into Hadley Wickham's mouth) is that if you cannot provide a transformation from one

It probably also helps that Ice Ages is a project from one of the Summoning members.

> Windows power management (and that beautiful laptop battery life) Is that sarcasm? I never had good battery life on a laptop running Windows. Linux has always been superior to me in that regard (maybe if nvidia optimus is at play?).

Yeah, generally it's been great seeing this many bug fixes happening lately!

Nice, that looks very interesting. I'll remember it in case I need to do some C++ work in the future again! I developed a similar library for Nim, `unchained` [0]. Thanks to Nim's extensive macro system it's a pleasure to use

Might you explain /why/?

Huh, I went to school in Germany and can relate pretty well with them.

I'm surprised not to see a single mention of NLopt [0] in the discussion. I was under the impression most algorithms implemented in NLopt are in C and not using any Fortran77. But I'm sure the author knows something I don't (

For anyone wondering: these kind of plots are sometimes still called "joyplots", but more and more commonly referred to as "ridgeline plots". Many plotting libraries have support for them nowadays, some more 'native

No. The OnePlus 6 was my first phone where I really didn't feel like bothering with the hassle of custom ROMs. Back in the HTC Desire and HTC OneX days, while fun, it was always such a gamble what feature might not be working on each R

Funny. I'm still on a OnePlus 6 and I see similar bizarre freezes as OP when I open the photo gallery. Or just when starting the camera often I have to wait 15-20s before the phone realizes that I have pictures. Sometimes when swiping

Well, type safety is not only relevant for security related things. It plain and simply makes working with a language much more pleasant and less error prone. Less time wasted debugging code etc.

Well, personally as I write almost all my code in Nim and am the developer of ggplotnim [0], I simply write a source code snippet with some short Nim code, generate a plot and dump the filename into the Org file. If I had more time and want

Currently finishing up my own PhD thesis. My approach to the same problem is quite different. I write my thesis in Org mode. Exporting to HTML is pretty painless. Been doing the same for years for my notes. PDF export via LaTeX & HTML e

Thanks for the reply! Generally usage based pricing sounds fair. In the end for cases like mine where it's "read rarely, but should be available publicly long term" it would need to compute with pricing offered by the big clo

by V1ndaar 4y ago
You say you support up to 1TB repositories, but from your pricing page all I see is the free tier for up to 20GB and one for teams. The latter doesn't have a price and only a contact option and I assume likely will be too expensive for
