As much as the Boox is great, they have a lot of GPL issues. Plus the kernel they are using is very very closed sourced. Sounds like FUD, but I am generally quite wary of companies in China that do this

my shitty ass blog uses as much energy as it would take to send a tesla from sydney to canberra and back. That's honestly somewhat whelming. How do I go from emiting 0.40g of CO2 to 0.02... ? Edit: Hah my twitter page emits more carbon

The most extreme was a Nokia E66 with PuTTy. I was on a flight for a holiday and then the real time bidding system we had running was erroring out. I knew where the bug was (proper fix was a TODO), and I had to fix the service before boardi

oh great. More chasing to do. Anyone interested in working on the CUDA integration for Go ( https://gorgonia.org/cu )? PRs welcome, as I am quite short on time.

When I grew up (in Malaysia) our high schools were like that: split into two general streams - arts/humanities streams and STEM streams. The problem was there is a glamour to the STEM streams and so parents pushed kids towards that. If

A dirty trick that is used all the time but goes unnoticed is concretizing abstract thoughts. The entirety of abstract maths is just that. Let me provide an example: You've got some abstract concepts of relationships. How do you go aro

Why isn't the Goldberg Variations already open/public domain? Bach has been dead for a very very very long time.

Maximal cooperation? Two schools of thought: 1. Maximal cooperation require maximal composability 2. Maximal cooperation requires some dictatorship Interestingly I find that this is quite embodied in two of my favourite languages - Go and H

I've heard it best as: both Ocaml and Haskell are pure functional languages. Haskell is Extra Virgin. That said, the notion of purity is a bit BS. At some point in your program you are definitely going to invoke the world-at-large. Whe

Well it sucks for now, but Gorgonia and Gonum has a bunch of vectorized libraries for deep learning related use cases - they are "hand written" kernels (in actual fact generated by gcc -O3) This kernels method of doing things make

Mine's GNU Emacs 27.0.91 (build 1). Thinking of switching to gccemacs for the native elisp goodness. But way too much yak shaving has been done already. I just disabled lsp-ui and lsp-company and all good.

I found lsp-mode to be quite cool (recently reformatted my machine, and so decided to modernize). lsp-ui + company mode kills the input latency on any 4k display on Ubuntu tho. Input latency is now VS-Code/Atom level slow. Unbearable.

Wow, I am amazed at the level of care. I currently use a QC25, and did not update to 35 because I am not happy about the Siri/Google/Alexa integration. Still, I am definitely floored by the amount of care Bose provides on their pr
