I always think these announcements are about https://blink.sh/ I don’t know why it’s okay to steal product names like that.

Because `a+b` is a much better variable name than `t`? Why `t`? If anything, `a_plus_b` or `apb`

With a proper keyboard layout, you can type a lot of unicode: https://michaelgoerz.net/notes/the-us-international-scientif...

I would totally want that! Specifically, `a+b = a + b` where `a + b` is an expensive operation. Julia allows stuff like that to some extent, e.g. https://github.com/JuliaQuantumControl/Krotov.jl/blob/3132f0...

I similarly use the iPad for handwritten notes. The 12.9” size is absolutely essential to me, and that’s only available in the Pro.

I am a quantum physicist and I can confirm that’s not how probability amplitudes work . The amplitudes are just complex numbers. Remember that complex numbers describe oscillations. A number r * exp(i phi) is an oscillation with amplitude r

There’s some confusion here about the exact word being used. The German word that is mistranslated here as “floor” is “Stock”, which actually means “addition”. So the floor above the ground floor is the first addition, not the “first floor”

While I might agree that it would be nice that code without a license was public domain, that's most certainly not the legal situation we have right now. If there's no license, you can't redistribute it at all.

Even as a consumer , Apple’s arbitrary enforcement of made-up rules is infuriating. One of my most-used apps is a radio streaming app “MusiCharts”. It hasn’t been updated in years because (according to the developer) Apple refuses to let h

Very nice table! If you want to spend 5kb more, I got something printable: https://michaelgoerz.net/refcards/#periodictable ;-)

The Remarkable tablet is pretty good (although I prefer the iPad, except for in direct sunlight)

I am not a lawyer, but my legal intuition / common sense says that “code snippets” are not copyrightable. There’s some sliding scale on when a code snippet would become so non-trivial that a reasonable (!) judge would consider it copyr

I consider Muse’s ink engine pretty good, although I’ve never found anything that comes close to GoodNotes. So that would be the one to emulate – including nice features like their “pause and hold for straight line”, which I really miss in

I mean, yeah, "freemium" is somewhat common, but in this case I find it particularly graceful in that the freemium doesn't limit the features, just the complexity of your board

I'm usually not too fond of subscriptions either, but I have to say that Muse has the most ingenious subscription model I've ever come across: If you're using it casually, the free version is plenty (Remember that you can alw

That’s very unfortunate. If anyone from GitHub is here: is that going to be rectified?

by goerz 4y ago
I would, for linting and vim integration comparable to what’s available for Python.

Even more important note from that article: "The House of Representatives, which has held a committee hearing on the matter, still must pass the bill" I don't think there's any guarantee that they will even take up the b

My understanding is that that the house has no plans to pick up this senate bill. So this was a purely symbolic vote. Nothing actually happened. This bill has not made it into law and most likely never will

Not directly, unfortunately. Sometimes you can hook it into the tooling, like the Makefile or the test runner. Other than that, enforce it in CI: patches that don’t match the code style can’t be merged

Does this sync sideloaded books between different devices, now? Especially the e-reader and the iOS Kobo app? The lack of side-load-sync that was the primary reason I returned a Kobo e-reader a few months back and went back to Kindle (which

I briefly looked at their website recently, and it looked to me like Penrose just renders the diagram interactively as a webapp. I didn't see a "compiler" that would translate the diagram code into a standalone PDF/PNG f
