Just to make it clear, I did read the whole thread in the mailing list before writing the above comment.

When was this? Twenty years ago? And they will "continue better without him" now?

People with unimpeachable credentials are still human beings with flaws like all of us. This is about the removal of a listing , i.e. it is all about considerations regarding the public image and does not have anything to do with the proje

I do not see the phrase "abrassive asshole" or something similar in the open letter though. I see "misogynist", "transphobe", "ableist". He is clearly not any of these things, so the open letter is in

The links provided are nice but I will leave a comment here in case it is useful. If I measure the temporal (dt) and spatial (dx) distance between two events A and B, then I can calculate what another observer would measure (dt' and dx

The separate space and time interval measurements between two events can vary among observers, but they will all measure the same spacetime interval, which in turn determines whether light is "fast enough".

To anyone looking for a good introductory book, I wholeheartedly recommend Harold Simmon's "An Introduction to Category Theory". The writing is very clear and fun with lots of good examples and exercises.

Did you try more than one viewer? It renders fine in Evince and in Vivaldi here. The 'bodies' of the pages are not regular text but images over that background gradient, by the way.

For me the issue now is not whether Stallman should hold 'leadership' positions or not, it's the fact that the pursuit of his removal from all such positions is based on heavy accusations which I do not believe to be true (tr

Someone opened an issue about this, maybe you could take a look: https://github.com/rms-support-letter/rms-support-letter.git...

Yes, it is certainly far from surprising, but I figured I should post it anyway.

The point is that if you put the experimentally measured distance, masses, and force into Newton's inverse square law in a regime where it does not actually hold, you will get a different G and this is how you will know that modificati

I wonder whether evolutionary algorithms could be of some use here, to help find good "shapes".

Maybe these people (I am one of them) just do not have a reason to object to a consensual procedure that could save or drastically improve lives, and that's it?

I am a couple of months into studying math for creating my own programming language. The larger goal is a complete system in an FPGA, having a few central ideas about how I want it to be, but the language seems like the hardest part of the

Certainly! It was these cases I had in mind. Maybe I should have made it clear.

This is very true, but the "if" is a big one...

Complementarily, I would say that because of corporate greed (or corporate behavior / politics more generally), it will be a long time before we can use computers built on the principles Alan Kay outlined in his talk.

Seriously, this video made my day and I am searching for more. I basically think of it as a "how computing stacks should be" talk. Also just launched GNU Smalltalk on the side and looking for a good tutorial, by the way.

Luck confirmed for me. I feel very grateful and at the same time sad about the advances I won't witness.

A few months ago I wanted to take a look at the Gen-Z fabric specifications, but unfortunately they still have a lame members-only download request form in place.

AFAIK there exist some Xeon + FPGA chips. No clue about availability though...

The main reason I am interested in this acquisition is a (faint) hope that they open some specs up to help projects like SymbiFlow.

At least some tiling window managers are very flexible. The only tiling window manager I have used for a substantial amount of time is Sway, and it doesn't actually make it any harder to move and resize windows however you want than it

Thank you for the info. The relevant Wikipedia article mentions Leslie Ballentine and his textbook ("Quantum Mechanics, A Modern Development") quite a lot. I happen to have studied a couple of the latter chapters in this book and

I have studied some QM and I agree. I see the MWI as figuring things out with just what the Schroedinger equation tells you. Apparently this has become easier to swallow after all the research that has gone into QM during the past century.
