Jupytext seems the best practice. The ipynb files are output artifacts. Why would you want to store them into git? It would be like storing compiled program binaries.

You traverse the squares in a spiral pattern starting from a central one. Then each square is divided vertically or horizontally according to the binary digits of pi (or whatever).

It must be the latter. Many trivial shapes admit non-periodic tilings. For example a 2x1 rectangle: you tile the plane with squares, and divide each square in two in a non-periodic way.

The output produced by gron looks quite clean to me. You just write your file as if it was a list of js variable assignments. allowed-downtime[0][0] = 20230523170000Z allowed-downtime[0][1] = 20230523170500Z allowed-downtime[

Graybeard opinion: all of toml, yaml, xml, json, kdl, etc., are ridiculously over-engineered for simple configuration files. You can nearly always fulfill all of your needs with a simple two-column text file of key=value pairs that can be

Thanks for your detailed answer! I guess I'm just used to critical editions in poetry, which are supposed to be identical to a facsimile but without transparencies nor coffee stains. The critical comments and the text are separated

What counts as a purely mechanical adjustment? Can you apply any trivial and reversible operation to the notation? I guess changing the time signature to an equivalent one is acceptable. Changing all the notes to half their length? Repla

[Disclaimer: not an expert on ODE, so I don't really know what I'm talking about] I was just astonished by the title of the article, because it seemed to contradict KAM. Yet, upon careful reading, you can interpret the title in t

Notice that this is about new, particularly wild, solutions of the multi-body problem. By Kolmogorov-Arnold-Moser theorem, such unstable solutions form a negligible set among all possible initial conditions. The solar system is, still, st

But then this is equivalent to the cosine transform, isn't it? A much better trick than mirrored repetition seems to be the "periodic + smooth" decomposition: https://sbrisard.github.io/posts/20180212-on

Yes, you can do all sort of tricks in C++. You can also package them into a "matrix" class, or use one of the thousands that are publicly available. The thing is that, in Fortran (and even in C), you don't need any of this b

I'm gradually moving to (modern) Fortran, and it's just lovely to see all this activity. Fortran really reaches a sweet spot if all you want to do is write straightforward numerical algorithms that run reasonably fast.

This is more like saving your old notebooks and drafts, only that they don't take any meaningful space. Or like having a revision control system. Do you rebase your git repos regularly to delete commits older than 6 months?

> Files with spaces in the name are just a bad idea Hear, hear! I would love a mount option that disallows them for good (or replaces them transparently by nbsp U+00A0). Do people also want variable names with spaces in their programs?

exp(-|x|) is not an exponential, it's just the easy, bounded, integrable, half of it :)
