I hope they have used proper lightning when taking the photographs, because the type of lightning in the exhibition hall (where the painting is still standing) is rather poor, due to the so-called daylight LED lamps, that however have a poo

Anyone with a little physics background, know that this totally bullshit. A large body like Saturn could not change its orbit so dramatically in less than a few thousands of years.

Actually, the effect described here (if I am not mistaken), was already observed in the orbit of Mercury before the theory of Einstein explained it. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tests_of_general_relativity#Pe...

The paper 'MIP* =RE' https://arxiv.org/abs/2001.04383 , where the article is referring to, has already been discussed here extensively. It is also being studied by many people, because it is a very important a

As with almost all creative arts, a very small portion of the artist are taking the majority of the profits, while 99% of the artist can barely make a living, often only do it as a side job. I guess that most people do not realize that only

Everyone who has done profiling knows that (almost always) the performance problem is in the part that you least expect it. But also that sometimes you wrestle to improve the performance of an algorithm hitting a hard wall and than someone

Does it also have support for managing scans/photographs? I have about 10 Gbyte of images with respect to a research project about art works. The images also contain scans of materials. I would like to extract facts from these document

What about the following strategy: Find the first space that is large enough. If it is smaller than double the size of the required, take it. (A little more space is allocated than would be strictly needed.) If it larger than double the siz

As if other government did not fail in controlling the outbreak in their countries. In so many countries, governments denied that there was a problem, or did not immediately scale up testing, as recommended by the WHO, or imposed incorrect

I thought I was trying to communicate just the opposite, that during implementation all kind of semantic information is lost. One could define a type as a semantic property, which goes much further than specifying it range of valid values.

by fjfaase 7y ago
Articles like this are missing an important point. Namely, that generic data structures in programming languages are used to represent rich semantic data models. This is done by a process that I would call 'implementing'. It is a

This and similar math puzzles are trivial to prove compared to the math problems like the one discussed in the article. It is only that they are counter intuitive that makes it hard for people to believe them. If you change the three door t

I guess that the 6502 has about four times as many NAND-gates as the Gigatron. I understand that some people are working on emulator for 6502 code for the Gigatron. The Gigatron is a bit (extreme) risc processor. It has no micro code and t

I guess this has to do a lot with hiring culture. Here in the Netherlands, these kind of tests are rare. You get two or three interviews, which are more about your programming experience and your personal strengths and weaknesses. It is as

I am talking about 974 HTML files of which probably more than 95% is static content. Doing this manually, will take me about a year (considering the time I have available). So, maybe I should develop a script/parser to process the cont

by fjfaase 7y ago
Mine, in plain HTML, is almost 25 years old. I have to admit that I did change the layout a little, through the years, but it has been rather constant, because updating 974 HTML files, is not something that is easily done.

Non-cryptographic hash functions are used to check if two large blobs of data are equal or not without having to compare the data itself. Or if you want to check whether a large blob of data already is included in a large collection of such

The code looks rather verbose. I personally, would never have thought about introducing an enum like BfCommand. The quality of code is not always improved by introducing more abstractions in the form of dedicated enums and classes. Have you

I am getting the impression that growth is largely an illusion, because there is also something like inflation. And it also seems that it is mostly the (very) rich that benefit from the growth.

What even bothers me more is that those keyboards that do not have a numpad section, cram all the 'insert', 'home', ..., and arrow keys in strange places below and under the normal keys or, even worse, hide them under a

It mentions yacc/lex as bad idea, because they generate code that needs to be compiled again. It is perfectly possible to implement an interpreting parser, which parses some input from a grammar that is specified in some means. (If you
