I agree. However, I have had some good experience using weakly dotted paper for math. Then it is easier to draw graphs by hand. Here is an example, 4 different dot sizes: http://trondal.com/p1.pdf http://trondal.

I remember listening on FM radio to my 100MHz computer running FreeBSD, which sounded like calm rain, and to Windows 95, which sounded like a screaming monster.

Yes, ARexx was big. A lot of popular software had an ARexx API so you could script across programs. Pretty awesome. I haven't seen anything like that since.

From the first example, I don't understand from the syntax why the first formula becomes inlined while the second one is centered on the page.

I used a Powershell-script in a recent project and learned some lessons. It gets some data from an API. It is run dozens of times every minute, can run concurrently with itself, has some writing to a json file cache in a race condition free

I guess proper words for proofing cover most use cases, but you just don't know how a font might be used; what sequence of characters it will be exposed to. I found it useful in my proofing to run every character between every pair in

I am not sure exactly what you mean, but I will try with the following advice. See if you are able to define each element of your input data as a stochastic variable that you can sample from. Then make a function to generate a set of fixed

There are several ways to handle uncertainties and propagation of error. Interval arithmetic is one of the simpler methods. Some Python packages that focus on this problem: https://pythonhosted.org/uncertainties/ http

I don't buy this at all. Too many differences, and at this resolution it is not that improbable for any font to have a doppelganger. Instead of looking for which vector font that have been rasterised at this resolution, I would sooner

Yes. Both content but also the technology to display this content. I put this on my personal web page 21 years ago: http://trondal.com/magisk/magic.html At the time (or maybe a few years before), clicking this button w

Surely we can do this without writing anything to disk?

None taken. I guess because I haven't really had the need to know more than I do about it. Maybe you can enlighten me. Can you explain to me why my xp installation behaved much more snappy after I moved the page file into a ram disk? I

Swap is still mostly mysterious to me (and the article is mostly over my head). My current naïve understanding is that swap is slower memory, and a disk cache is faster disk. I remember back in the windows xp days moving the pagefile to a R

Not necessarily more troubling than being tricked by an optical illusion. Perhaps this problem is more like a logical illusion because of the presentation/wording.

True. But the physical instantiation is necessary. That is what I am exploring: What is necessary to start working with math, and can it be described like the OSI model?

I understand what you mean, but in my context I would say that you need layers below this. You for example paper, ink, glyphs, and other things before you can start defining ZFC.

by drsopp 2y ago
Is there any attempt to organize mathematics kind of like the OSI model? On the bottom we might start with the physical layer that can be paper+pencil marks on it or a soundwave, the next could be a shape, next could be what the shape stand

I love this site. I have used it many times to help me solve- or shine a light on some problems I have worked on. I visit "my" sequences from time to time https://oeis.org/search?q=jostein+trondal&language=engl

Why do you think it is nonsense? What would it take to convince you it's not?

So I guess we will need to seed the sky with dust soon. Lets just hope that we can do that in the best way possible.

It looks like I soon can easily make a game I have been dreaming of for over a decade: A simulation of a bar/restaurant. You enter, there are guests and employees there. You can do anything that would be possible in real life. Every NP
