Hmmm. I found it to be a good reflection of where I've stayed. The data is sometimes lagging by a year or so.

Mathcha looks awesome! Thanks for creating it. What's on the roadmap? Are there other options to export besides latex and PDF? Hmmm, just noticed, there's no one-time payment license for the desktop version.

If the AI agent were quick and precise to answer everything, wouldn't that by itself allow a judge to tell a computer apart from humans? I believe that faithfully passing the Turing test requires the machines to copy human behaviors fe

Here's the most complete buy vs. rent calculator that I have come across: https://michaelbluejay.com/house/rentvsbuy.html His other articles are also often worth reading.

I have attended a live session from him and also spoken to him. He did live coding for the demos where for any session of similar complexity the speakers just copy-paste pre-written snippets. It shows both his genius as well as the capabil

Winamp development may be in limbo today, but I would never call it a failed product. It thrived very well, influenced a lot of future products, and also still lives with many users including me.

While it had rave reviews, I never thought it was scalable beyond teaching how to code. Chris Granger then proposed Eve which also has wound down.

Sounds interesting still. No license is specified though.

This is helpful for me to follow the details. Thanks!

This sounded interesting, till I foundd that it is only for iOS and OS X. Am I looking at the right thing? :-)

This looks very interesting. However, I am not sure if I understand how would I best use this. Are there examples on how to best use? Apologies if this is a very naive question.

I would like to understand your message better. Can you share more about this variation in the way of writing code in this situation? I am personally not a fan of this trend of browser libraries falling apart beyond a few tens of thousand

Any comparison data on scalability to orders of magnitude larger number of rows? Say a million?

Glad that you like it so far. :-) I wish I had recorded the session I gave. It was several times more interesting and engaging than what the slides read on their own. I haven't read this book, but have read a blog by Pinker on the sa

This is great! Pages usually jump up and down multiple times. I need one more thing. Prevent the same jump up/down behavior when using infinite scoll. E.g. if you use scoll bar to scroll down, new content apprearing changes the page

I am using a Firefox derivative called Fennec along with uBlock and am never going back to anything else. It can be installed from F-Droid.

I am guessing your case was also similar to this comment here [1]. Amazon must have removed as requested and responded back to you saying so, however, the seller bypassed with a new account and uploaded again. You may be able to check. PS

Off the topic: Beautiful website design! Very elegant use of space above the fold. I likewise love Nautil.us design too. Which themes (Wordpress or some static site generator) would be similar?

Does the book discuss foundations of numbers? Peano's axioms, etc. It does not look like from the contents or the sample chapter.

Giving good results as such. It's struggling with hair, unsurprisingly. I noted that it removes all my hair below the ears where people typically do not have it, so may be under-represented in the training data.

I am using Zoolz lifetime plan with 1TB space for backup (due to compression, it is handling about 3 TB of data), bought for about the price you have mentioned for year with Backblaze. It is working great so far. Restore takes several hou

I also like to follow #3 for a full system backup. Additionally, I take this onto a drive that I can just drop into the laptop and be running again instantly. Some pros and cons of the approach: Pros: A. I do not have to trust the restore
