Note I did a scrape four years ago which I saved on archive.org [0] and provided some pedestrian analysis on it [1], along with source code [2]. It looks like a sqlite3 database of all items, including comments and stories, was about 5Gb, s

I agree that FOSS isn't always the right tool but for maybe different reasons. In my opinion, FOSS works best when there's a slow moving target that allows for small, incremental additions to make it better. This is why FOSS and g

As an aside, one thing that I found interesting was the discussion on Poker and how it's both high luck and high skill. I think this point gets lost a lot in the startup world where it requires both extremely good luck and high thresho

Ultimately pretty shallow. This is more an exploration of how it feels to make a "sticky" game rather than how to actually make a sticky game. I certainly don't have any expertise or deep insight but I will say that one of th

> You don't get to sweep many zero-aspects of life that are zero-sum, by calling it a fallacy, under the rug. Declaring life as a zero-sum game doesn't make it so. I didn't just declare life as a positive sum game, I gave

One of the reasons I appreciated academics in my youth was because of how international they were and their bias towards disseminating knowledge globally. I think the modern day equivalent is libre/free/open source. I encourage ev

I think you're getting at a basic fallacy. This is not a zero sum game. This is a positive sum game. The worlds population has been steadily growing for the past 10,000 years. The quality of life has mostly increased. We're figuri

The link references at the bottom have some more detail on the structure. For example, the N-Category Cafe talks about how the dragon curve shows up at the edges [0]. There are other gross level symmetries due to the symmetries of the Littl

I don't really think this is a well thought out position. I suspect the author is succumbing to some combination of survivorship bias and not being introspective about their methods or conditions of when their methods are successful. T

Sorry, what's not open source about them? I've only checked a few models but they look to be under a BSD-3-clause license. The first few I looked at all have the same BSD-3 license [0] [1] [2]. Are you saying they've just rep

Punk rose to prominence, in part, because of their acceptance of technology. They used technology that was once the expensive and in the domain of conservative corporations that was turned into accessible and cheap ways to disseminate ideas

Yep, you're absolutely right. My confusion came from mixing up irrational and transcendental. I think the cut and paste method works for sqrt(2) which is clearly algebraic.

No? One way to generate aperiodic tiling is to take a regular lattice and cut it with a plane with a transcendental slope. Project each lattice point down onto the plane and then choose tiles appropriately [0]. Algebraic numbers are those a

This is the kind of comment I come to HN for. I think this is an absolutely right read on the situation. To put it in a slightly different context, the magpie developer is more akin to a "sociopath" from V. Rao's "Gervai

I found a SO poll from 2021 result listing percentages of respondents IDEs [0]. There's overlap, so developers can use more than one, but Visual Studio Code is at 71%, Visual Studio at 33%, Notepad++ at 30% and vim in in 5th place at 2

Awesome, thank you. I managed to find a paper by Bohm, Perdacher and Plant [0] which looks to describe what's in that repo and also looks to answer my basic question. [0] ttps://eprints.cs.univie.ac.at/5726/1/l

Very awesome! Note that there are now some reference implementations in C and JS in Červený's now [0], which also include 3D Gilbert curves in addition to the 2D. It looks like you only provide 2D implementations? Also, do you have any

I would be more interested in the median. Also note that, as a back of the envelope calculation, $15/hour x 40hour/week x 52week/year x 40years = $1.248M.

Ah, ok, so that's the good faith reading. It's not "don't fix things" it's to triage issues that do need to get fixed. That is, don't give in to competitionist tendencies or "fixing things right"
