Sure it is. This discrepancy appears in physics too. It's common to use 1,2,3 for spatial indices, but when you reach enlightenment and think in terms of spacetime you add a zero index and not a four.

In the Boole Library in Ireland (which has entrances on different floors) they use an algebraic (affine) system. There is a floor designated "Q" and then other floors are labelled relatively, "Q+2", "Q-1", etc.

What about Infinite Jest's "interdependence" where a environmental disaster necessitates the merging of USA, Mexico and Canada.

You're dead right. It was an improper use of a specific technical term and that sort of thing is very annoying. Thank you for your service.

How are they extracting value here? Is this just space-race-4-turbo propagandising? I see plenty of GitHub sites that are barely more than advertising, where some company tries to foss-wash their crapware, or tries to build a little text-co

I assumed everyone salts their memorised passwords. Like you add something that's a function of the thing you're logging into, in a way that's not atrociously obvious. I think (hope) that anything beyond "superpassword1+

I guess so, though that might be counterproductive to the goals of Rhombus.

FWIW I didn't mean to make any accusations about von Braun's character. I was taking "ex-Nazi engineer" to mean someone to had been an engineer in the Nazi regime. In fairness though, he was an NSDAP member.

Thanks for that. I have an innate skepticism of benchmarks from a company who wants to show their solution is best, and it seems their latest results are from 2021, but I couldn't find a better comparison myself either. I do note that

Did you try -ffast-math? IIRC that used to break emacs in some subtle way, while providing no extra speed.

Challenge yourself to produce some numbers first. If there are many many many benchmarks it shouldn't be too difficult to link one. Just saying something is "well established" doesn't really help without some other conte

In Haskell: flip_one Posn(a,b) = Posn(b,a) flip_first p:ps = flip one : ps flip_all ps = map flip ps To my taste that's a lot nicer

Typical pattern matching like in Haskell or Prolog wouldn't do this.

I've been cautiously optimistic about Rhombus since the initial "Racket 2" controversy. I'd have preferred they went with something more like Wisp or Wraith, but it could be a lot worse. I am somewhat troubled by tricks

We don't know what kind of devices you have. But probably they won't need external power. And for a stand it should suffice to use any nearby object.
