Depends on how much the overlayed LCD screen would impact legibility. I'm not sure. Transparent OLED might work [1]. The backlit would basically be for evenings, where the ambient light might not be enough. I just love the readability

This seems really interesting. But what I've been more interested in is a LCD/e-Ink hybrid display for my workstation. LCDs are basically transparent, so I think you could overlay them in front of a back-illuminated e-Ink display.

Oh I totally agree there. I never quite grokked the obsession with JSON these days. But if you go to trouble of writing a query language that /specifically/ targets JSON output ... it seems like it would at least need to be compre

Aren't you afraid you might be reinventing SPARQL ;-) ?

We tried to use GraphQL, but it in our opinion it has a major design flaw: not everything that can be expressed in JSON can be expressed in GraphQL. Since our application makes heavy use of Semantic Web (if you haven't already, checkou

It's not the only option either. Combine that solution on a massive scale with re-forestation and (even though eventually it's CO2 neutral) it might actually make a dent. My go-to model was always: - Plant heliostat molten salt re

That really depends on the language I think. Java/C# etc I wouldn't dare to touch without an IDE. Most of my Clojure/Lisp work is done in Emacs (with Evil for Vim bindings, without any syntax highlights). People /still&#

Don't drop critical thinking and "hammock time" in favor of Agile. Some problems require a bit of personal reflection, without it you can easily end up building something atrocious, even while following all the "best pra

Perhaps, but not sure if it's the correct explanation for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eroom's_law I think the focus on data-driven pipelines for discovery, rather than focus on fundamental understanding of

Well yeah, but rigor is part-of the scientific mindset. One that we now try to enforce with statistics, peer-review, and reproducibility. But those are rather new ideas. Proper based evidence medicine, for example, is something we only came

This isn't about facts. Science is rarely about facts. Empirical science is and cannot be about proofs. Proofs and facts are for the abstract, the ideal, left to philosophers, logicians, and occasionally mathematicians and computer sci

I know, I saw it a couple of times in Iceland and even in the Netherlands (shouted in excitement :p). In Iceland, Tromsø or similar it's easy to see with the naked eye (although not as vibrant in colors). In the Netherlands you have to

That's fair. But I do, and can, direct criticism towards the EU for one of its member states as well (however shaky the EU might be at this moment). It might not particularly effective, given, but in my book it's still valid criti

Oh downvote me into oblivion. But whatever the hell you're doing US, it's not good. It's not good for you, it's not good for the planet. It's not good for your citizens, it's not good for humans all around the

On the very rare occasion I get to photograph the Northern lights in the Netherlands [1]. Conditions have to be just right, and you can almost never make it out with the naked eye. But the camera does wonders. A couple of tips: - Avoid the

But that wasn't the point I was trying to make. You should not be judged by not having children. In fact the default "you should have children to be happy/successful/not-be-frowned upon" is arguably the wrong one.

Schopenhauer is also famous for having an anti-natalist stance. “If children were brought into the world by an act of pure reason alone, would the human race continue to exist? Would not a man rather have so much sympathy with the coming ge

Depends on what you mean by "using". Writing it, probably not so much. But a lot of the numerical things I use are written in Fortran (e.g. BLAS, Atlas). A lot of games I play probably have some hand optimized Assembly. And pretty

I'm in the same boat. I've used and loved Apple products for the better part of a decade. Used to tune in to Steve Jobs doing his keynotes. Got excited about everything they launched. Maybe that fades with age, I'm almost in

But probably consider "rampant immigration" as relevant. Unless they're up for genocide, which they quite frankly probably are, it is their problem. Genocide or not.

Not long ago I thought the same thing. We can live on the ISS, so even if there's no oxygen and temperatures will be perpetually 200ºC above current, I'm sure we can construct habitats (even small cities) that could be self-sustai
