Historically I'd like to add that FileNames are just sequences of bytes that come with a few restrictions. They don't even have an encoding you can use to sort something. Windows FileNames look like UTF-16, but they can be truncat

In Germany water consumption shrunk a lot, but here we also have a lot of talk about a water crisis. Another news article recently made a huge story, that we're running out of sand. I wonder what will be next.

That sounds promising. Training muscle memory for a custom arrangement of keys is something I'm not (yet) brave enough to do. Did you arrange everything yourself? Normal Arrow-Keys on a layer are good. But I need Arrow-Keys usually in

On the other hand there is spatial memory. Overloading things has some downsides - it adds more possibilities for errors - and makes muscle memory complicated. In a lot of software those extra function keys are well used, easily go into mus

Less things to connect, less switches, less caps, ... I think it's mostly about manufacturing cost. If you build a keyboard yourself, you're glad if you have to solder less. So for sure any prototype of a new design will start sma

I think having Shift available for the thumb would help a lot (in the middle just below Space bar). Most experimental layouts that add more features make the mistake to overload it, some of these things even look totally thumb-driven.... Th

I've sometimes witnessed newsworthy events. It was very interesting to see what media made out of it. Local news was very inaccurate. In Big papers the stories were more like fiction - using some fact from the real event as inspiration

South Park once had a good scene about just not accepting random things that pop up (in HumancentiPad). If you see something popping up on a website - maybe just delete the pop-up from the HTML. (Click on Inspect - Examine - Delete). Heise

There are some German guidelines for building offshore windmills - how noise should be reduced - and whales should be distracted and that ramming shouldn't be too loud. Most likely this doesn't come from nothing. So 100+ whales co

I don't know about those groups, but the arguments I saw so far are these: - Unclear maintenance - there's no clear way what to do with dysfunctional mills on land. Just letting them rot seems to be a thing. Offshore ma

Well, I did.. But that didn't matter. Nobody else did... And authority just declared himself as the winner. When they collected money I wrote a note and attached it to the "call for collection"-letter. I think there was some

This reminds me of a story from University. In Quantum Mechanics the professors of my University consistently confused the terms Tensor-Product and Direct-Product. They all taught in lecture that the Tensor-Product was called "Direct-P

The article skipped a bit on explaining the CIE-XYZ space. Although it is quite simple. There is one axis Grayscale - that gives you the Brightess value. You can use that for black/white TV. Now for colour you have 2 dimensions left. F

The best axis for Lightness in my opinion is still the Gray-Scale (as used back in the day for black/white/grayscale TVs). The newer CIE colorspaces (CIECAM02 CIECAM16) seem to address the effect, that color-perception goes wild i

Sütterlin is very ancient. I knew someone how used it for handwriting, but there are only a few people that really learned to read and write it. In Algebraic Number Theory it's quite common to use some kind of Fraktur-Alphabet for Symb

In my experience (about 2 decades ago) in a group of 20-30 students only 2 or 3 are able and willing to do homework. Most students just find someone else and copy from them. The real learning happens when preparing for a big exam. And to pa

4 years pause for the contest. Good to see new results. I keep a copy of this one printed on my desk. Staring at C-code to finally see the 3D-Image is kind of relaxing. https://www.ioccc.org/2001/herrmann2/index.ht

There are for sure things to explore. Craig Bohren once wrote, that he wouldn't think of going anywhere without polarizing sunglasses. His books are really nice... (Fundamentals of Atmospheric Radiation, Clouds in a Glass of Beer, ..)

On the other hand especially the technical community is very quick with censoring anything new about climate-modelling. There has been a lot going on in the last 5 years, but knowledge about any of that is very low. Even Institutes like NOA

This subject is also a wonderful example why the maximum of a densitiy function has very little meaning. The amount of energy is an integral over the densitiy function, and if you look at the solar-spectrum, you'll notice, that the bul
