Wow this is awesome. Here's a random YouTube link I found [0]. I guess the basic idea is to get a patch of the same material, line up the pattern (if any) and fray the ends of the patch to have the threads expose. Then go through and i

I'm not sure if you're pushing back on cryptocurrency in general and using blockchain as proxy or if you're actually pushing back against blockchain as a technology buzzword that is being used by businesses. In the case it&#x

Richard Stallman has a policy of putting his non-engineering works under a non-libre license (CC-BY-ND 3.0) [0] [1], so maybe he wouldn't have a problem with this non-libre game as the underlying code is libre, just not the assets. In

Yikes, my apologies. Some of what I said still stands but that's a big enough mistake on my part that I just need to apologize and back off.

This is a bad faith argument and is effectively FUD. The list of open source projects that people use in a commercial setting is long. Linux, Apache, Nginx, mysql/postgres/SQLite, Redis, Git, nearly every major programming languag

That's absolutely fair. We forgive and/or forget that arrogance when the contribution is significant. I will push back a bit and say that the arrogance of current and past scientists and engineers mostly comes across in dealing wi

I agree that Wolfram gets a lot of unnecessary hate by people online and the scientific community and that Wolfram has a lot of interesting things to say but I also see why the community at large bashes on him so regularly. Wolfram is arrog

Everyone sane understands that unfettered exponential growth hits limits quickly. Exponential is a short hand. We're on an S-curve and during the ramp up, the curve looks exponential.

This, unfortunately, reads like FUD to me. There are limits to solar and wind, both in terms of their carbon footprint, their operating window and their storage, but all these costs are quickly dropping and availability is quickly ramping u

Another way to say that is symmetry and compressibility are essentially synonymous. Any redundancy in a system can be compressed, leading to a reduction in size. Thus, the ability to compress a system is essentially finding what symmetries

Many of the points brought up are completely valid but they're also heavily biased and often lack critical examination. Meaning, they take a stance of skeptic to the article but don't use the same bar for themselves. They purposef

I'm sick of seeing anti-cryptocurrency and anti-NFT vitriol every other day on this site. There are legitimate concerns against cryptocurrency and NFTs but these are rarely addressed in a reasonable way. Instead, I'd encourage peo

Judicious use of lattice reduction techniques such as LLL [0] or other integer relation algorithms, like PSLQ [1]. The basic idea with LLL is that it's a sort of generalized Euclid's algorithm. Euclid's algorithm can be made

I'm in the process of learning about GJK but Vatti's clipping algorithm [0] is a way to polynomially do Boolean operations on arbitrary 2d polygons (convex, concave, etc.). From Boolean operations, you can get collision detection.

You bring up valid points about engineering practices and backwards comparability in general. I do think you're nitpicking a bit when it comes to the issue at hand. For example, in you grievance, is there a way to provide a Docker solu
