"runtime checks on array/slice access and integer under/overflow" I'm probably missing something. I feel like you'd get this and a lot of the other benefits you list if you just compile C/C++ with Debug op

I saw a talk by a guy working with OSM and he explained that they have lots of issues with licensing. Government data is often not compatible with their wacky licensing requirements. They then need to plead with bureaucracy to relicense the

Is this a good choice for drawing vector graphics? (Inkscape is a bit clunky.. or maybe I'm just not good at using it)

Woah - thank you for taking the time to explain everything. It's challenging to find all the info so concisely in one spot. This has been really useful and educational :)

Thanks you for all that! It does look like it simplifies stuff in that there are no more config files! So that's really cool. I will need to read the docs a bit later b/c from the landing page it's all still confusing. This i

From reading this I get the sense the problems are lower level and there is no impetus to fix them. I'm embarrassed to say, having programmed for over a decade, and running Linux for half of that, I still have no idea how to setup my c

Is it not the lithium that makes up the bulk of the 1200 price tag?

by geokon 5y ago
Any idea what the depreciation on batteries is? If you "used up" battery that's due to be sent to the recycler, How much of that 1200 could you hope to recoup? (I assume a power train can only be sold for scrap for a tiny fra

Bc you wanna see the output? With less you can go page by page and read the output. If there is so much output you can't read it.. then what's the point of printing it to the screen? If you're looking for something in the str

Latency and throughput benchmarks don't confirm this. Eshell has one of the best latencies (that's why it feels so responsive compared to VS Code) but low throughput Generally if you are barfing meg's of data to screen you&#x

Would be interested to have something like this in Chinese - to have playing in the background (for language learning and more language "exposure")

Right, you can fix your versions if you care, but you don't have a million keyboards "tuning" a fixed version set to be play well with each other - so you don't get the same robustness I know I can get any software to ru

I guess what I don't get is, wouldn't an LTS be way way easier to maintain than a rolling, constantly breaking, release. Heck, id even prolly go through the effort of maintain my own software as a package if it's something I

by geokon 5y ago
Is there a reason neither Guix nor Nix have made an LTS-type repo? A rolling release seems at odds with the stability granted by reproducible builds. Maybe I have a miopic view, but what's nice with Ubuntu LTS is you know everyone and

To be clear, there isn't really any org magic going on. You can also do the same identical stuff directly from a REPL and just spit the SVGs to file. I've also used the same stuff in a GUI - where the SVGs are rendered directly in

if you need simple output you can just run clojure in orgmode and output svg https://geokon-gh.github.io/literate-clojure.html

The web interface is a bit confusing. You need to click "Pixelated" or "aliased rendering" at the top to see how the final result/look. I think the default landing page is showing the original vector font from which

I do tend to get carried away with tabs.. :) I'm also generally working in Clojure/CIDER which eats tons of memory. The JVM just doesn't give back memory easily. I need to see if maybe there is some JVM setting I can set that

I thought the Pinebook Pro screen was fantastic. 14'' feels spacious after 13.3 :) The keyboard you sorta get used to. My main problem was the 4GB of RAM that couldn't really run Emacs and Firefox simultaneously. Do you code

It seems like an intentional design choice. didibus sorta explained it to me: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28406315 It does feel like a tradeoff that was a bit too harsh. As the post shows, you can work around it...

Yeah, I was hoping someone would chime in and explain. I'm honestly not quite sure. This is one of those things where all the explanations are very hand-wavey https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Side-scan_sonar "Th

The 2K one is a mechanically rotating thing. I don't think that's sidescan - though I could be wrong.

Does this "Ping Sonar" thing do side scans? I actually don't really understand the mechanics/mathematics of sidescanning, but it produces some compelling images. I'm not sure if it's feasible at this price poin

by geokon 5y ago
Yeah but that's prolly not really a solution either (sidestepped the issue of modifying the cooler on a laptop). Bc you can't lock yourself to always be in turbo. So you can't get consistent performance while benchmarking

What's a straightforward way to clock down a CPU to a fixed rate? I sometimes want to run benchmarks and I'd like my laptop to stick to one speed I understand it's a bit problematic with the latest CPUs bc the gap between tur

It's ~500 pages vs. ~2.5k pages... the former already seems like a big project - the latter sounds impossible. (I'm assuming you're not skimming and actually doing the problem sets) Is that in rambling prose? Dense math?

that reminds me, I need to fix my company mode :) thanks for the tip - and thanks for the extension. I'll give it a try for sure

Oh that's great! Thank you for that :)
