I have a pinetime and the form factor is great (until I lost the back plate, next one will be sealed). All the opensource activity around the watch is also great. The biggest drawback to me is only 64k of ram. Thats a Commodore64's wor

The method to get fair flips from an unfair coin is interesting and was recently on hackernews. say a coin is heads(H) 70% of the time. that means it must be tails(T) 30% of the time. If you flip it twice, and calculate the odds of each pai

I've never played so this is fun to see how it works. There is a lot of opportunity for strategy - good replayability.

The linked article does not introduce the project, nor does the project site have an about page. wikipedia to the rescue! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Library_Genesis

After some skimming of the paper and googling of terms, I'm going to take a whack at an ELI5 (note I have no special domain knowledge here): Some fields such as GIS or CAD are given a polygon and need to represent the interior area as

$50M and two years later - where are the conclusions? The results? A blog post of what happened? Two years seems like enough time to say we tried some amazing things and this is how it did or did not work.

It would be easy to describe pragli as a conference call that never ends, but I'm not sure thats fair. Its one of various forms of telepresence, like a video wall or telepresence robot. If text messaging has taught us anything is that

Its possible the parser was laid out to choke on octals as a way to protect the 'standard'. Its one decision to not support octals, and its another to make octal-style an error so those numbers are not parsed as base10.

All these "things" GPS can do involve the satellite signals being received by very specialized equipment, not cell phones which arguably the title implies.

Exactly. We never got the Magic Leap. I remember reading that surgeons were already using the tech so it 100% existed and just needed to be productized. I figured google-ers had taken a close look and had a pretty good idea about how to pro

I knew the French were running things on the standards end ever since v.32bis. Having it be one or the other seems better than neither of them. When selecting imperial or metric, we don't start using a feeter (half way between a foot
