Sure, and even ideas that have been written about can be more precise and complete, perhaps by writing more about them, for example, so no one has fully formed ideas by this logic.

Okay, I can see that now, thanks.

Doesn't SCP just give you the same number of characters, since there is no select nothing action? The paste replaces whatever is currently selected. That's what it looks like the C++ code in the article is doing to me. That's

Pie just fits in every category, hm? Pumpkin pie and key lime pie seem like they should go in the same category, at least. This whole page really annoyed my wife and led to a lively discussion, which was fun. :) The first six categories are

I tested several open source keyboards last year looking for a way to get rid of the distracting gif search in gboard, and was also very disappointed and went back to gboard. After trying this one for just a couple minutes, this looks much

Thankfully my PhD advisor is fine with just using Git for collaboration on papers. The collaboration features of git (change tracking, commit messages, etc.) are super convenient since I'm already using them for code. (Doesn't app

I showed this to my two kids, and we all three enjoyed it. The zero knowledge proof portion didnt really click for me, but we liked the four color map theorem stuff. This led me to download some maps for my kids to attempt coloring on paper

I bought it on recommendation from an earlier HN thread, and my 7-year-old, 8-year-old and I play it together. We're only about three hours into the game, but it has been very enjoyable. As a sibling comment says, the puzzles are often

Yeah, I guess the reason we're talking past each other here is I'm thinking of the tool; if I gave you a coin that would purchase half of any pie then the pie size is irrelevant. Put this tire on a different road and the absolute

I mean, we’re talking half as loud. I would have thought to a layman it would be a lot more impressive to remove half of a loud sound than half of a quiet one. But I’m wrong on that one judging by your comment, which is fine. To a noise con

Since sound levels differ with distance and environment, absolute levels are not all that meaningful without a detailed explanation of their measurement setup. A 10dB reduction roughly corresponds to something sounding about half as loud to

Resonators like this are effectively changing the resonating properties of the tire so that the vibration of the tire isn't as effectively changed into sound. Tires have certain frequencies or tones that they amplify, and the resonator

Having been involved in peer reviewed publishing before, I wonder if this was an afterthought prompted by a peer reviewer's comments on the paper. Perhaps they quickly added this point just to get it to pass review. Sloppy, if so, but

I’ve not heard it described that way before; I would love to hear more of what you mean by this. The way I learned it in my upper level acoustics courses in college was image sources: hard surfaces are effectively mirrors for sound, so just

I picked up a preppy a couple of weeks ago. I got a fine nib, and after seeing how it writes I should have gotten extra fine, but the biggest issue I'm having is that it seems to want the pen held at a shallower angle than what works f

It has apparently been longer since I was a TA for an electronics class in college than I realized. I appear to have lost most of that knowledge. I would love a one-sentence explanation of what each of these circuits you put together are me

I'm a geocacher, and I must say, this is a treasure trove of ideas for puzzle geocaches to create. I can't wait to make use of them. What a cool list!

I've got rubiks skills, but once I moved up past 3x3 the crossword clues were super opaque to me. Very fun, though, and I'm not above googling the clue to find hints. Finished one 5x5 so far, but those 15x15s are super intimidatin

My first playthrough I quickly got it to where the amplitude was minimal, so then I just dropped low frequency low amplitude sinusoids for a while until I got bored. The following tries didn't go so well, but I guess even if I don&#x27

Fairly certain I played Dominos 2 back when it was in the yoyogames competition. Nice to see a little blast from the past! Makes me want to go dig my Game Maker games out of the pile of hard drives in my parents' basement.

Shortcat uses accessibility to provide this feature. Unfortunately the current state of Linux accessibility support is insufficient for this type of thing, from what I understand.

100% this. I have Reddit blocked on my laptop, and the browser blocked on my phone at certain times of day. Again, I can absolutely get around this, but it has disrupted the habit for me.

I'm in a job where I was taught modern C++ from the beginning, and I don't have the C89 familiarity that the author assumes here. Anyone aware of a good resource to learn C coming from a modern C++ background? I'm interested

Linear algebra in general for me was kind of one of these concepts. Aced my university linear algebra class with no idea what the heck I had learned. It didn't start to click for me until I started using it for tangible problems.

It's a generalization of B-splines, called U-splines (splines over Unstructured meshes). If anyone is interested in the math behind it on the level of a journal article, the last two links here go into the technology in detail: https:

Not being a VSCode user myself outside of this context I may not have the best experience to answer the first question, but I don't think it tends to conflict with much except perhaps vim keybindings. As far as using it in tandem with
