I appreciate that they start with the stuff they broke and how to fix things Each orgmode version update has been a pain in the past. You have to go through all your org documents and tweak them. It's kind of horrible - so this helps I

I looked up some specs and that seems likely what's going on. Interesting observation :). I've also gotten the impression the bright lights tend to make matte screens much worse

Does OLED really give better images compared to a good LCD? I bought a Sony Xperia 5 II - thinking the OLED would give me a better picture - and it objectively looks much much worse than my much older LCD based Xiaomi 5 Note Pro (the camera

Right, you can trim the JDK - that's true but I think the "problem" is a bit more general. I'll give you a more concrete example. I have some small application and it needed to do some basic image manipulation. So I brin

oh woah very cool! sorry for the late response - I wanted to take the time to look at it more closely. Thanks for that info. I'd never really looked into Fluokitten. It looks awesome :D I've played with Neanderthal but the MKL dep

Thank you for clarifying and explaining :) I mixed things up a bit. Guix doesn't have a stable channel but Nix does. Twice a year sounds quite fast - but maybe that's just what I'm used to from Ubuntu LTS. I can't imagin

How does this work in practice with it's "rolling release" nature? Can you designate specific package versions for all your dependencies? Like having a very new openssl and an older zlib version? With complex software, just g

by geokon 5y ago
in C++ (and by extension C) you can create very robust crosscompileable projects with complex dependencies trees using CMake + Hunter + toolchain files. There is a bit of learning curve but everything is there for a reason. - Toolchain file

I just noticed you can actually leverage `into-array` at critical parts - if you just need a data collection for quick traversal.

The cheatsheet is very handy! Thank you. I'd completely forgotten about it. I usually end up poking around Clojuredocs, but it's very unstructured and you're just hunting for a function that fits the bill. And yeah, your anal

Thanks for the perspective. You're a lot more knowledgeable about this than me and I appreciate you taking the time to explain it. I think I see your point about why people are defensive. If you're coming from Python or something

One thing I've recently discovered is this website: connectedpapers.com/ It builds a graph of referenced papers and makes it easier to narrow down which one are important/foundational for further research I don't think a

Yeah, I just tested it out and you're you're right, it doesn't depend on the size of the container. Sorry about that But the difference is more than 5x. That's kinda nuts.. In the context of C++ you don't just shrug

I wasn't exactly able to find it's complexity - but here is a blurb about it's performance issues: https://tech.redplanetlabs.com/2020/09/02/clojure-faster/#fi... I think I'm may have

I mean, I didn't say it's undocumented behavior :) but when the default performance of a basic function like `first` is not O(1) then that strongly suggests that performance is secondary to composability/flexibility (I'm

I've never had to use it myself, but what part of the JNI/JNA is problematic? One thing I'd sorta fantasized about is (in a very hand wavey way) using Clojure + ClojureCL to run OpenCL kernels. In theory if you were to bundle
681.
by geokon 5y ago
I think recreating Clojure point by point is not optimal. There is some middle ground between full on Clojure and the straightjacket of the STL datastructures. - Clojure is kinda difficult to reason about performance wise. The lazyness.. so

The more I look into this the more it seems this inevitably (accidentally or intentionally) misrepresents data. Even the author highlights how it does this. All the options are in some ways effectively thresholding/binning ... but in n

That was a very interesting read. Thank you for sharing. I could really use some of the other color spaces presented too.. in some other situations.. I'll just need to figure out how to plug them into my workflow :) It's strange b

Thanks for the insight. Yeah, I can see how all these slightly off JVMs can really sour things. Esp. with regards to tooling and development ease. There was a whole era of these not-quite-JVM like things. Like JavaCard also comes to mind (I

that's an interesting point I still think it's a bit visually confusing when you're representing the existence or non-existence of something (the planet is in this region, and not anywhere else) You could in theory do both..

This feels overengineered... Since it's showing a probability density, wouldn't it make most sense to just use a grayscale in this case? As the probability density approaches zero the visual would disappear as well. This is more i

Was the shift to full Java that important? I'm still baffled it wasn't a bigger deal. But the reality is that no one slapped on a new skin and recompiled their desktop java application and then ran in on Android Even all these yea

I've honestly never come across it since university - but maybe that's me being a noob. I don't get the impression it's as copy-n-paste as regex. and well every lang has regex
689.
by geokon 5y ago
oh no, I meant the former. I guess it's just come from my personally use of orgmode day to day - which is great feature-wise but has no spec and I'm shackled to Emacs/Elisp. It just feels like things could have been designed

What I like about regex is that it's kinda "cross platform". I always though that one could make a markup (like markdown) based on regex . Then you could almost directly parse it in any language environment. I'm not sure
