I don't know, I live in eastern Canada, modern cars don't seem to have much of an issue on the handful of -20 to -25 Celsius mornings we get every year, as long as the battery is in good shape. Even the 2007 Yaris we had up to 201

Indeed, and whatever code is used to publish a paper is a prototype, and unlikely to be reused, ever. Sometimes it is, but rarely.

For all embedded purposes, I'd strongly recommend sticking with `--mm:arc` and avoiding cyclical data structures (can't see much of a use for that anyways). With ARC, you don't need to "run" any runtime GC. ARC is a

We used them in 10th grade "advanced" math (Canada, I think the equivalent in the US would be AP?). TI-80plus in the early 00's. We didn't have laptops in classes. Main use case was quadratic equations, which were a sign

KFs, and more generally state observer systems, are widely used in the field of control systems. I know someone with a PhD in control systems, works for an eVTOL startup, and their title is something like "estimation expert" or &q

The EMH is a model, and like all models: none are correct, but some are useful (to understand some phenomena).

It's effectively a struct with no members. (Nim compiles to C, so in fact it compiles to exactly that).

Not plugin though, at least not yet. AFAIK the Chrysler Pacifica is the only plugin minivan on the NA market at the moment.

If I recall correctly, lazy symbol resolution, which would allow both circular module imports and order-independent procs, was initially on the roadmap for 2.0. Currently, it was moved to a stretch goal for 2.2. https://github.co

Matplotlib is heavily inspired by MATLAB's plotting, no? Its pyplot submodule is a wrapper around the base OO API which is an almost exact clone of matlab.

Trying kbin and lemmy. Both are compatible with each other through activitypub federation (aka fediverse), so choose an instance of either and browse away. It's still very quiet compared to what reddit was. Not yet enough users to supp

I seem to remember N64 joysticks were somewhat fragile. Many of my friends as a kid had controllers with a joystick that had lost all springiness and barely responded to input. I have not are that on any other controllers, even cheapo xbox3

Personally I'm really stoked about the Uno finally getting a 32 bit ARM core. And an M4 at that! I would've thought maybe a M0+ (like the RP Pico) on the Uno and perhaps an M4 on a hypothetical future Mega update. Good stuff from

Lemmy and kbin are the most similar to Reddit I have seen so far. kbin appears to be very young and beta-grade at best, though under active development.

Tapatalk is/was an attempt at such an aggregation tool for old-school forums. In addition to aggregation, it offered better UX for mobile. I haven't used it in many years though, I'm not sure what it looks like these days.

A lot of grey-beard type embedded programmers, who programmed in assembly through the 80s and 90s, really got attached to their architecture of choice, whether that is AVR or MSP430 or 8051. That crew tends to be very conservative with tech
