I am split on this one. I grew up in Sunset Park, Brooklyn during the late 60s - 80s, and the sound of salsa, bongos, song, cars, and motorcycles in the summer sometimes upset my father especially when it went into the late hours. I loved i

Hah, the discount Tom Cruise, that's funny! Yeah, I saw it in 1984, so it's been a while. My mind is slipping. Navy Seals (1990) was Charlie Sheen. Could have been better with Tom Cruise!

Except if there ever is an incident, and something like those kids save your ass. I've watched many people intellectualize something, and then when it gets visceral, reach for the thing they repulsed or detested before. Sort of what ha

You're right. Charlie Sheen, not Tom Cruise. I was 20 when I saw it at the movies. My memory is not what it used to be, and I have the old habit of trying to actually write something without always using Google to back me up! Funny sto

Algebraic Geometry is all you say it is, however, working with young engineers who have not had more geometry in their curriculum, I've noticed they don't have that intuitive spatial connection to reality other than through CAD or

It didn't seem to help Tom Cruise and Patrick Swayze in the 1984 movie Red Dawn ;) Interesting NATO is disbanded in that movie, and the harvest in the Ukraine suffers for some reason (blight? war?).

It's all coming together. I am definitely back on board, and I will try and apply your package suggestions to a real world project as soon as I can to test it out. Thanks again!

Chris, the work of you and others on Julia is nothing short of amazing. Thanks! I tried Julia when it first came out, and then picked it up again to replace my MATLAB habit, and I have not looked back. I can't wait until the sims.jl pa

I am hoping this also opens up more opportunity to leverage Lisp's symbolic powers. I had great fun with Structure and Interpretation of Classical Mechanics (SICM), and recently a paper on analyzing music using symbolic regression [0],

Has anyone used Ivy here? I am currently playing with Zig to replace my C habit, but these type of approaches always pique my interest with hopes of leveraging my C knowledge in a better manner. Since someone will ask: I tried Rust, but it

I agree, and from my math/APL bubble, let me have my succinct symbols. I invoke the famous Iverson 1979 Turing Award Lecture, "Notation as a Tool for Thought" [1]. If you are in ML and do math to some degree, learn the symbol

My late Uncle Vic taught me how to repair clocks and pocket watches when I was young. I let it go, and returned to re-learning it with this book. I still dream of completing my first, from scratch, pocket watch.

Whenever I use Edge to open my Gmail account, Google puts in a popup to switch to Chrome. I realize Gmail is a Google product, but I still find it annoying, because I have chosen Edge. I have to see how to turn off this notification.

Popularity and quality do not necessarily equate either, but I think there are many people not competing in this arena that would boost the overall quality. I remember the old commercials on TV about Slim Whitman claiming to have sold more

I downloaded the PDF and went to the links, but I did not find easy pricing. Is it somewhere I am missing on the site? How expensive is it? Side joke: For hobby stuff, I jokingly price a new endeavor in the number of Starbuck's tall la

I tried a Brompton and a Birdy, and I went with the 9-speed Birdy with shocks when I lived in Macao. It took me a week to get the folding down in a variety of situations, but it rode just like a full-size road bike. The Brompton didn't

I was playing with the K210 RISC-V 64 AI Camera from M5 Stack. It is fun, but the training takes place on a server vs. the chip. There is supposedly a way to do it on your own laptop, and then download it to the chip, but I stopped tooling

So you think Rogan has more influence than the CDC's guidelines that are adopted as legistation for the most part - masking children, vaccines for 5-11 year-olds, ignoring natural immunity, not releasing data? You don't think he g

Not denying your right, never have, but choice of where to apply your scrutiny and time spent on it says a lot. A very popular fight commentator, comedian, pod caster, or the people actually creating the guidelines you and your family will

I'm using Zig, but this all sounds like being able to hot swap in Lisp dev, especially for games. I fermenter someone using Gambit and iPhone for game dev in 2010 or so pulling this off. This seems more complicated in comparison. I&#x2

So tired of people attacking Joe Rogan. He's a pod caster. How come people don't push more on the 'experts' like Wolensky or Fauci or the main stream media? Ignoring natural immunity, not releasing publicly funded data t
