The other sort-of brushes off the light spreadsheet and database features of the Canon Cat. I think that that was an important part of what Raskin was going for; there is only one type of document and you can accomplish any number of thing

My PS2 slim still works (I played Teken Tag Tournament last weekend). Am I lucky? Anyone know the MTBF? On the other hand, I don't think I've had a DS2 controller last me more than a couple of years, even with light use. I use

I replaced it less than decade ago; I'm still using the LCD that replaced it now, so it's not like I'm comparing it to a '00s LCD panel. I would not be surprised if OLEDs are better; I've never seen an OLED panel in

What is it?

A good CRT makes a better image than any LCD screen I've ever seen. There are plenty of caveats: an aperture-grille CRT will look better when ambient light is high, but will wear out a lot faster than a shadow-mask. My last CRT monit

I think I will be using that patch; thanks!

Ah, so Xd will always delete the current line and e.g. X2xd will delete 3 lines. Still not as nice as dd/3dd like in vim, but at least I don't have to keep extra state in my head.

How do people get such large config files? I have been using vim for 20 years and my config has grown to 33 lines, 8 of which are blank or comments. I probably use a dozen plugins, which typically add between 0 and 2 lines of config each

Still haven't found a way to delete the current line in Helix (even if the current line is blank; "xd" will delete the current non-empty line, but will delete two lines if the current line is empty).

That's the one. I remember it was of a football field. Apparently I was confusing it with a different article where the FMCW radar was made from a modified toy radar gun though, since this radar appears to be made from scratch.

I recall a post on HN about a decade ago where someone made an SAR by modifying one of those toy radar-guns into an FM CW Radar and mounting it on his bike. After trying a few different position-estimation algorithms, he got the best resul

CDs have gotten a lot more expensive recently where I live. I used to be able to find used albums for under $5, but that is rare now.

This is only true in the "speed" mode; in the "quality" mode it claims better word recognition than Tesseract on clean scans (which matches my tests): https://github.com/scribeocr/scribe.js/blob

EasyOCR is significantly worse than Tesseract for clean printed text and , while being orders of magnitude slower; far better than Tesseract for low-quality clean scans and extracting text from pictures (e.g. comics), which Tesseract does n

This is my first encounter with Scribe.js; since I have many book scans I always try OCRing them when I see this. Compared to Tesseract (which is the best I have so far), it gets the words right slightly more, but the paragraph segmentatio

Yeah, I really should put something out there. It may be that my b+trees are suboptimal, and some sunlight on it would help.

In English it's ambiguous. Source: I once said "So I guess you don't want to do the long-distance thing" to a native English speaker and she said "no" meaning she did , while I interpreted it the way you sugge

Also, it's very hard to make a b+tree that is ever faster than other data-structures in RAM. Obviously if you don't need (or only rarely need) in-order traversing (or related operations like successor), hash-tables are very fast

This never explains why dynamic fanout is desired. Static fanout is, of course, trivial with templates.

That's a type of Log-structured merge-tree.

I don't know about Erlang, but in other GC languages I've used, the GC only matters if you allocate; if you pre-allocate all of your buffers when the game is created, the GC doesn't matter. The other points remain true thoug

It was unimportant; in the subs the waiter asked if she wanted tea, in the dubs it was if she wanted coffee after her meal. IIRC it was the DVD release of Tenchi Forever .

Watching anime dubs with subtitles enabled can be interesting. I've literally seen the dub say "yes" with the sub saying "no."

I sampled a couple of shows on Netfix and I couldn't find any anime subtitled in English; just closed-captioning of the English dub. Netflix's selection I would describe as "fine," so the quality of the subtitles is, IM
