Interesting, I ended up testing an older 1080p monitor and had the same issue, so it really seems like it is either an issue with the Amd graphics card driver, or an issue with Fedora 34 in general. I am somewhat surprised since I have fair

Ah yes I meant unstable I blame the flickering screen for the typo. I had to downgrade to 33 which was slightly annoying but no harm done. I guess I will skip this upgrade cycle and wait for 35

It depends on the author/field. In analysis sometimes f(n) <<g(n) means f(n) = o(g(n)), but other times (especially in discrete math) f(n) << g(n) means f(n) = O(g(n)). Due to this ambiguity, I think the notation f(n) ~<

Disclaimer: I am very familiar with big O notation and find it intuitive. However, I think the notation \lesssim or << which is common in upper level math courses, but not often discussed in undergraduate texts is much easier to expla

I really think someone needs to convince them to change the name to something like "Rock Solid Linux". Is there anyway to try to make this happen?

I got the same impression. Do you think it would be too late to change the name to "Rock Linux" or "Rock Solid Linux"? Since branding is so important this really seems like something that should go through focus groups o

In the following I assume that the scores are indicative of the performance of both machines. At first, I was disappointed that apple's tiny SoC was beating my desktop computer (I have a 5600x running linux). Then, I realized that I am

Thank you for the helpful reply. I was missing this option -e I added alias nnn='nnn -e' export VISUAL="gvim -v" to my .bashrc and it really is much cleaner/nicer than using vim . so I think I will swtich to nnn

I just tried using nnn and found it to work reasonable well. However, I could not figure out how to change the default editor to open vim in the same terminal. Then I realized that I can accomplish this task already by running vim . It seem

That’s a very valid question, and I agree the article fails to explain. The problem is that the answer is complicated (see the discussion at the bottom of the notes I posted). So my suggestion is 1) convince yourself sharing a classic seed

Suppose that Alice and Bob share a seed to a RNG before the game starts. Can you explain how this will allow them to always win the game?

You have narrowed in on the exact point of the game: Alice and Bob can pre-share arbitrary amounts of classical information and still not win more than 89% of the time. What would your strategy be for sharing information before the game sta
