I dug up my old norse text* and thought I'd share the relevant details in case someone finds it interesting (this is Old Norse, not Old English): p.266 > Of these additional letters þ and ð were borrowed from Old English. The rune þ

I'm guessing it's a false positive from using an IP similar to a sketchy site. It looks like the IP points to Linode. For what it's worth, I enjoyed the puzzle when I completed it three years ago. A practical exercise crackin

`concat` doesn't happen in place, it builds a new array: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/concat

by dunham 8y ago
That's typescript's type definition. Flow recognizes that concat returns a new array, so it specifies that calling concat on an Array<T> with an Array<S> as an argument returns an Array<T|S>. Their actual defini

Yeah, I thought ð was voiced in old english, but it's been a very long time since I tried to learn it. I do recall that ð was voiced in the old norse that I was taught in college. It probably doesn't matter too much since you don&

Essentially that. There is a risk a skipping a majority of the proof and hence a majority of the points, but point-wise it would work out better than handwaving the step and getting negative points. It's been about 25 years, so my memo

I had a math prof who would give negative marks on proofs, preferring you say “I don’t know how to do this step” and finishing the proof over trying to BS the step.

You can replace the ! with a %21 and the parser will handle it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Jackson%27s_Sorcery%21 Inkle studios did an interesting adaptation for the Sorcery series for mobile. Their games feel

I installed OpenVPN on my DO box after a hotel (Legoland CA) tried to MITM Dropbox, Reddit, and a few other sites. The app/browser caught this, but it rendered them unusable. But in general, yeah I’d trust DO over Comcast or Verizon. I

Having once had a package thief open/dump packages in my back yard, next to the house, I would prefer you don't do that. The packages were some rolls of vinyl, a box of sealed granola snacks, and some inexpensive jewelry, all reje

It's not clear to me what they're using for the surface heat transfer coefficient, which I think would be different for a skillet vs sous vide. (Or even, in their case, Side 1 = skillet vs side 2 = air.) But I only have a cursory

I had an obscure machine called an Interact[1]. It had a built-in tape drive, and my issue with that was the read head kept getting out of alignment. I had to regularly adjust it. (Probably because I transported it to friends' houses i

That's interesting - are the encryption keys for the storage in a secure enclave then?

If you have a Unicode library available, you might try asking it to convert the text to NFKD or NFKC normalization form. This will take apart ligatures (the former will also take apart accented characters).

Perhaps they could become a "museum" and change a dollar for "membership"? (Kinda like the bars in Utah.)

I've gotten similar answers trying to find out what animals eat (during a discussion with my kid). We mainly use it for a shopping list (shared reminders list) and for setting timers. Occasionally I'll check the weather or sunset

For the use-case of search, you can "cheat" and provide multiple answers for each word that you find in the image. Evernote does this. (It has 2-3 options for each word in its ocr results.) I don't know if tesseract support

Does the book discuss the implementation of the language or just usage of the language?

A "protocol" in swift is equivalent to an "interface" in Java. "protocol" seems to be the older name (per one of the guys that wrote Java): > I'm pretty sure that Java's'interface' is a d

Yeah, I couldn't follow the descriptions either. It looks like "list" only supports appending (conj), removing the first item (rest), and removing all items (empty). The data consists of a list of items, a "clock" (

Initially I wanted to figure out how to export my notes. I don't like to use software if I can't export my data. Then I saw strings in the table data mentioning CRDT and was curious. (I like to take things apart and see how they w

Apple’s Notes.app uses CvRDTs (I know this from figuring out the data format). For attributed text, they’re using something homegrown that they’re calling “topotext”. It’s somewhat similar to RGA/Causal tree, but they’re maintaining

Out of the box the Boost runs you through the base models with some build-specific commands. We've been through most of those builds. They also have some bases for building your own creations, and they have completely free-form progra

For basic algebra, Dragon Box Algebra is nice. My five year old has gone through that and is working his way through geometry and the algebra 12+. (He just plays occasionally - iPad time is weekends only and he chooses what he wants to do.

The LEGO boost robot kit also uses the scratch language if you want something physical and your kid is big on LEGO’s. In addition to scratch, there are a few games like “LEGO fix the factory”, “lightbot jr”, and even “human resource machine

The most annoying for me is “j” in outlook. It means “move down” in Gmail and dozens of other apps - in outlook it means “mark as junk”.

Can consumer 3D printers pull off decent lego compatible parts? I'm fascinated by the idea of 3D printers, but I don't really have a good use-case to justify getting one. (And I've been waiting for them to come down in price.

PDF uses jpeg2k, but I don't know of anything else that does. (Archive.org is using both jpeg2k and jbig in their pdfs.)

From what I understand, it segments the image into text and a background image, does something like JBIG2 on the text (building a global dictionary of glyphs and placing them on the page), and does a lossy compression on the background imag
