Not to be conspiratorial, but captive portals always felt like a little broken piece of internet technology that's never been fixed bc it benefits Google This has a very cryptic failure mode if you travel to China. Android will just te

Interesting , but the problems is that dinosaurs aren't reptiles and are theorized to have been warm blooded. So probably a better comparison would be to birds However as far as I understand birds are found in artict/polar climate

A bit of a tangential question ... If one were to write a simple text editor from scratch - is there some place with a "spec" or list of standard modern text editor UI paradigms one would need to implement to make the editor feel

Isn't SoA basically always more performant though? You're either traversing individual "columns" and leveraging cache locality, or you're not and then you can traverse multiple columns in parallel to rebuild the str

Do you have any thoughts on why they attached to the IG graph and not the FB graph? Maybe I'm in a bubble, IG seems very low text, low drama, low politics. Not very Twitter-y

I'd also mention Clojure also has a very performant 'tech.ml.dataset' equivalent to dataframes Maybe I'm wrong, but AoS VS SoA seems like an old C false dichotomy that's been already effectively resolved If you need

yeah, looks like that's it. It's a bit uncomfortable to chew the first few days but I'm guessing it does the trick. Maybe it's suboptimal for teeth grinding? But sleeping with a guard sounds way more of a hassle

I had one dentist put some kind of lacquer type of thing on my molars (so that this material is ground down instead). But I've never been able to find another dentist that does it Maybe somebody knows what this procedure is called?

Oh that's right! Thanks for clearing it up for me :) That does make more sense

I don't work in the webspace so genuinely curious... are things generally still cached between website visits? I thought that was effectively non-existant now a days b/c of fingerprintability. I'm pretty sure at least for JS

But doesn't the loop-back happens in capillaries - which are biologically mediated? Totally outside my area of expertise, but I wouldn't expect you can pump cold fluid into arteries and it'll just come gushing out the veins

I learned that this is actually a bit of a coincidence. English started to in effect be standardized by the publishing of the first English dictionaries shortly after Shakespeare (esp standardizing spelling - which even in Shakespeare is a

I'm not at all living in the Guix world, so please forgive my ignorance here. (I actually kind of gave up on the dumpster fire that are native binaries and happily live in my JVM bubble these days) But based on your article, I think yo

Okay after reading more about VanillaOS I can see my concerns aren't relevant. Thanks for pointing it out... Wish I could delete the comment now

There are distros like Linux Mint that are desnapped. Wouldn't it be more sensible to base off of something like that? I really like Debian. I love making minimal riced desktops with it. You can make a system that runs without Python :

I suggest trying to lean into it more I suggest that trying to strictly only bind output to a symbol if it will be used in multiple places. So when I read code and I see some "intermediary" value bound - it tells me immediately &q

Pretty sure Unifont will do what the author wants. Coding or system wide and you never gotten tofu. (+ the crispness of bitmap fonts)

This gives a really cool top level view into the whole Chinese opensource community - which has always been very mysterious to me. Bc it's absolutely massive and almost entirely on its own doing its own thing due to the language barrie

the `.jl` was in effect dropped. Tbh, I landed on the page and started to skim it and it was highly confusing.. Just try to read the landing page without realizing "Plots" is a proper name :)) "juliaplots.org" - looks li

You could probably run Termux and launch a REPL from the command line?

Not to detract from everything else.. I've gotta say, that's the most confusing library name possible. First I thought it's a website about Julia plotting libraries. Then I thought it's a new Julia default plotting inter

I don't know if you genuinely want feedback... But I'll share my very short experience. I tried Julia one time a few years back. I'll be honest, I didn't put in a lot of effort into (but nor will most potential Matlab co

Any idea why it's not a perfect circle? Aberration in focus? And would that be pretty much equivalent to the true size of the star's corona? (seems huge..)

Anyone know if these kinds of setups get your around the Chinese firewall? Or is this kind of traffic pretty fingerprintable?

I also found the outside-in way they solve problems (using stubs for inner calls) very bizarre. I could be wrong.. But I don't think anyone codes like that

I'm glad the MATLAB interface isn't dead haha This this looks awfully similar to Reveal - though Reveal seems to be more composable and modular https://github.com/vlaaad/reveal/

I don't want to distract from the main points in the slightest (this looks really cool) - but I'm just curious what is the business plan? The main landing page offers booking a free demo.. but I didn't really get where they s

This probably won't be a very popular take.. but to me Fourier Transforms are the perfect example of the opposite problem - where the educators are so hellbound on constructing a visual explanation that they end up brain damaging the s

PCA is an interative algo. Once you build the leading vector, you subtract it from your data and then build the next. Do you know by any chance why you can't use this new method recursively for building the whole SVD basis ? (I haven&
