I guess that when an appropriate treatment for dental cavities is found, the current practice will be seen as barbaric.

sure, my coefficients are just floating-point numbers. I work in signal processing and when the OP said "multiplication" I could only think about applying a linear filter to a signal.

No, I don't multiply integers, but polynomials, where the standard "fast" algorithm is nlogn

This is not the most appropriate place for this sort of fine-grained debugging. I'd suggest to try your generated manpage on another computer to see if it displays correctly. The only thing that I can say is that "it works for m

This sounds like a problem with your pager, that is used to scroll the output of man pages in the terminal. Do accents appear correctly on other manpages in your system? If I recall correctly, on macos catalina I had to set my locale vari

Yes, the output of help2man is not perfect. My main gripe is that it imposes a rather strict format for the manpage, and not all manpage markup is available. But it is better than not having a manpage at all. The problem with non-ascii ch

Alright, I don't care too much about that. This is not what makes the magazine bad. There was also some cold war anti-soviet bullshit at the time. I remember a communist friend of my dad that sometimes came home and reprimanded him

Yes, but not only that, I want a folder for each commit, with all the files inside it, including a .commitmsg file with each log message. Thus "git log" could be implemented as cat `find . | grep commitmsg` More interest

As much as I love and depend on git, the visible user interface seems a bit ugly. You can get used to it over time, but it has a certain non-unix flavor that I dislike... There should be a purely unix way to use git, as in "everything

I love the name of the scientist Al Unapietra. The thing is very well explained, but it's very sad to see it as a twitter thread, which is a mostly unreadable format.

My point is that the debugger may help you understand the bug, but does not remove it. A better name for the tool would be something like bugfinder, or steprunner. > You don't click it, even out of desperation at any point in your

by enriquto 5y ago
The name "debugger" does not reflect what it does. A debugger does never remove the bugs that you put in your programs.

Thanks, here you presented an example that actually makes sense to me. In case of octave/matlab, of course computing the sum() of sparse matrices does not traverse all the zeros. But the result is the same as if it did, just much fast

Yes, I use a very similar setup with a three-line makefile to test and build. But the OP wanted to use the in-browser notebook interface, and this is srill possible via jupytext (while allowing collaboration with out-of-browser users).
