I may be mistaken but I seem to recall having also read on numerous occasions that ejection of one of the bodies is an inevitability in these types of systems. Given the limited state space of the simulation, I'm not sure I see what th

Really cool to see. Was curious about the author's other work and was very annoyed that the blog does not link to the author's other posts, either with a "next/previous" link, an archive, or a homepage where a list

Huge proponent of Pydantic. That said, there's also msgspec [1], which I've not used yet but plan to for my next project. It is supposedly quite a bit faster than Pydantic in de/serialization. [1] https://jcristhar

I always like to share this [1] article about a UXO team working in La Zone Rouge. These are UXO from WWI. It's pretty haunting. [1] https://orionmagazine.org/article/the-forbidden-forest/

The phrase "in the trenches" is used often, too. Always grosses me out.

Works better how? Mastodon is really frustrating for non-tech people to use. I personally have found it difficult to use, but to be fair, I haven't spent a lot of time with it.

I'm no expert but this seems like a pretty good crash course to me. One thing I still tend to use a lot when fiddling with cron jobs is crontab guru [1], which is very helpful for figuring out scheduling. [1] https://crontab

This article has virtually nothing to do with implicit vs explicit code. The examples are just poorly written and poorly documented code. And even the "improvements" aren't that great. Why does `grantAccess` return permission

A sorting interface would be another neat step! And yeah, I think most would gravitate toward the middle. Seeing how "far off" you are would be fun :) Ooh maybe have the user slide a gradient left and right inside a window, aligni

Wonderful. Differential equations were my favorite subject in school. Unfortunately the chaos theory class was only offered every other spring and I missed out on it. As a heads up: the "Preset" button label seems to be a typo --

I'd love a last step in the test where you're presented with the gradient, but before showing the distribution and the user's score. Allow the user to select where they consider their threshold, then display the final results

Brilliant bit of design. Even before the symbols were explained, you could immediately tell what they meant just looking at the b-roll at the beginning of the video -- that, to me, is a testament to just how well these crossing aids were th

I wonder what we'd see if you could only check boxes that are adjacent to already checked boxes (you'd obviously need to seed the array with some "anchors"). How long would it take for people to clear it?

Discord has been detrimental to many aspects of the internet. We really need a "next-gen" forum software, and for people to move back to using forums. Discord is fine for gaming, sharing memes, and chatting with friends. We really

For me, that links to the current daily. I also get the same puzzle when selecting the daily epic. Using Firefox. Here are some screenshots: https://i.imgur.com/ZJ36abU.png https://i.imgur.com/3Ft0Zqr.png

Very cool, thanks! I play every morning. There are times when Sam's curation is very frustrating. It would be nice to submit other valid words and have the game verify them as a way to score "bonus" points. Oftentimes I find

The term "code smell" only ever has a negative connotation. The title of the article is also "Primitive Obsession — A Code Smell that Hurts People the Most" -- doesn't seem too difficult to parse...
