   In another HN post[0], the top comment mentions Nestfull[1]. Is that a viable candidate to replace Pivotal Tracker? It provides a Kanban board with swimlanes, but the UI is unique AFAICT, because items in the swimlanes can be entire Kanban

   While mathematics are necessary to build LLMs, they are not a kind of math or a distinct branch of mathematics.

   Stellar work! I couldn't resist the pun, but all kidding aside this space atlas is truly wonderful.

   Thank you very much for that clarification. I knew about using sizeof with expressions, but I so rarely used it that way that I never gave it much thought.

   > sizeof is a unary operator so the parentheses are rarely necessary I thought parentheses where still required for types, and are optional for variables. Even if that's not so, I still use them for types and avoid them for variable

    I'm not a UI designer so honest question: is the problem the use of aesthetics, like frosted glass or brushed metal, in UI design or is it that in pursuit of presenting such interfaces some designers lost the visual queues needed to in

    First, I really like the effect the author has achieved. It's very pretty. Now for a bit of whimsy. It's been said that a picture is worth a thousand words. However, a thousand words uses far less bandwidth. What if we go full-til

    I'd guess the GGP meant all of the root nodes together on one level and all of the tail nodes together on another, but single level. At least that's what makes sense to me.

    If your goal is to replace rubber tires, then how about going whole hog and turn the entire road system into a railway system? Tires made of steel, parallel tracks, lots of switching, perhaps regional control systems to guide computerized v

    Thanks. I understand that '.sys' is a naming convention. I'd guess that they used it because those config/data files are used by their kernel driver, and so makes kernel vs user-space files easier to distinguish.

    I wonder if it was pushed anywhere that didn't crash, as an extension of "It works on my machine. Ship it!" I've built a couple of kernel drivers over the years and what I know is that ".sys" files are to the k

    Thanks, but I have no idea. I never tried generating SVG from LaTeX. Others suggested MathML, some tools, and OpenType math fonts, so I'm going to try that route first.

    Thanks folks. Your replies are very helpful. I'll take a look at MathML, pandoc, and LaTeXML. Writing MathML from scratch looks tedious, but pandoc and/or LaTeXML might be just the thing to make a conversion easy.

    I like the idea of participating, but when I made my little Hugo-based blog I also liked the idea of presenting equations. Is there any way to do that without MathJax, KaTeX, or similar libraries?
