I think we do know a little of it. They used limestone and an acid -- so the touching surfaces of the rock were softened, which is how they conformed so closely and precisely to each other.

Having one vector file per size would involve each file being close to constant size. Adding one resized shape only adds twenty-some bytes (a few headers/indexes, plus the transformation matrix); this is a lot less than a whole new fil

There is a feature of HVIF, called level of detail, that lets you vary what shapes appear according to the display size. You can find it in the Icon-o-Matic documentation. Ctrl-F for "LOD" in https://www.haiku-os.org&#x

td;lr there's very weak evidence either way. If the long list of evidence is too long for you, then it's totally worth clicking the "click here" link to jump to the author's summary at the end. The summary is readab

I think they go into the basement, as they do when raising buildings today. I don't know what they'd do for buildings without basements.

Looking at there websites, this one claims to absorb 6 teaspoons; Dear Kate's claims to absorb 3 teaspoons. That's the only difference I can see, beyond the partnership.

I would expect the "snowball effect" to be pretty strong, especially for social interactions. Given a day where you tend to seek social interaction vs. a day when you tend to shy away from it, you can get a very different number o

On the mobile version, zooming out (a couple of time, to some magic level) will suddenly make traffic appear (on the route and everywhere else), even while following the directions. I have not tried this on the desktop version.

Considering that the 4 patients were teenage girls born without vaginas, it seems unlikely that they'd be able to tell how it compares to non-artificial one. Maybe that would be included in another study, on using it as a replacement (

For that reason (roads being too smooth), the snowy ones were the most convincing to me.

Julia uses the keyword `end` to indicate the last index. 1 and end for the first and last, 2 and end-1 for the second and second to last, and so on.

You can also use Julia on the Sage Math Cloud. https://cloud.sagemath.com/ They don't have IJulia (yet) though.

Multiple dispatch lets you make math operators work like they do in path. That means that you can use `+` the same way on ints, floats, matrices, and your own self-defined numeric type. If `x` is a variable of your new numeric type, OO lang

I think it's more like Julia is what happens when "language geeks"/experienced programmers write a language that's for technical computing, with a deep understanding of their problem domain and empathy for their use

Julia does not compile the C code; it links against shared libraries. It helps that Julia types can model C structs easily. Manual entry on calling C: http://docs.julialang.org/en/latest/manual/calling-c-and-f

I haven't had the smoothest experiences getting plotting in general to work (it's getting progressively better). The plotting in IJulia using PyPlot (matplotlib wrapper) has been good for me. The Julia plotting packages are Winsto

The author and I like Julia for nearly opposite reasons. (I write Julia for the language geek reasons. The power of homoiconicity is amazing for writing static analysis in the language you're analyzing.) It's really cool that Juli

It also ignores anything you've done close-source for work, any projects you've done that didn't use git, any projects you contribute to that don't happen to be hosted on github, anything related-but-not-code that you do
