many 520STs had TV out built in so you could get started by hooking it up to a TV if you had to. very cool machine, with affordability that made it available for many. so much cool european software.

even though it's in high level web stuff, that's a classic heisenbug -- one that appears intermittently due to some hidden process that requires an expert to understand.

ip addresses are kinda meaningless these days, and address based accounting and penalization can penalize legitimate users. (bitcoind has a banscore system, it's kinda cute but these kinds of things tend to be bandaidy) it's a ha

i was thinking that. would be an interesting idea for a ranking penalty: underweight early comments to compensate for the momentum they build just from being early.

i'm not a biologist (and so maybe it's table-stakes for modern biological research), but this idea of creating personalized in-vitro synthetic biological models to study disease process in individual living beings seems pretty coo

i'm no database expert, but from what i can tell: this is a spanner-like (clock synchronized) distributed synchronization mechanism for live, high volume event streams?

i thought they were getting flack for building a local activity log for a local assistant? the linked sources don't really talk about any kind of user activity logging. i suppose the point stands though: modern tech is kinda like 70s a

my ego is pretty detached from the reasoning and learning side of the house. for the ego i start with first principles, where i put myself pretty squarely in the blithering idiot column. when it comes to reasoning and learning, when i'

T,P,X models should be fine. check the arch wiki before purchasing. popular with kernel developers! daily driver has been a T, P or X series thinkpad running linux since ~2005/6. although, fair notice, kde 6 is hot off the presses and

thinkpads are still a pretty good bet for linux- although battery life is still lacking compared to aarch64 machines. the upcoming snapdragon elite t14s looks pretty promising on all fronts!

protip: a language is not regular if you need counter(s) to parse it. protip 2: good regex implementations often have extensions that support counters.

the same is true of oculus quest devices. the choice of under the hood operating system really only matters to developers, otherwise why wouldn't you build on aosp? the real value is in how it functions in the life of the users. if th

the hardest part of doing calculus is fluency in arithmetic, algebra and trigonometry. the most important idea in calculus is often glossed over, weakly presented or omitted entirely: the continuity of the reals. i feel that once this is fu

yes and it's very cool! if you're interested in learning, i'd look into the filtering approach. maybe could try pyfda and the filtering functions in scipy.signal to start playing around. or if you have access to matlab it ha

bandpass filtering in the time domain seems like it may be more efficient for this use case to me. if i'm reading the code correctly, it seems it's computing a 512 point window and fft on every non-overlapping window. i guess it

i think it comes from similar tricks that are played with webgl where there is a lot of entropy that comes from pc videocard drivers and the hardware itself. it's a shame that browser people have to add noise to audio buffer handling t

it's an interesting benchmark, i had to look at the source questions myself. i feel like there's some theory missing here. something along the lines of "when do you cross the line from translating or painting with related seq
