Yeah, but on one dimension that's workable. On two dimensions it's useless. Having the headers float makes 2 dimensional scrolling usable but not great. Why do we store data as rows and columns? To be able to quickly compare them.

Neither will an unlabeled grid with data values that you scrolled into and are lost in. That MIGHT actually pass government scrutiny, but if anything that's a good metric for how bad government approval is of a metric. Also we're

It's exactly because I had to build such things. You can have pretty much as many things as you want in one dimension, but the other dimension has to be limited in turn, or people will get lost and confused. If your users start to hold

Compare the scrolling behaviour of OPs example table, with the scrolling behaviour of Excel or Numbers. With OPs version you get immediately lost in the grid because the headers don't float along with the scrolled view, which makes thi

Sorry but horizontal scrolling is just abhorrent UX for everything but maps, and I'd argue that that interaction is not actually perceived as scrolling by the user. I'm glad that it hidden scroll bars make that more inconvenient,

I wonder if the boring company has any plans to create tunnels that could be used for gravity energy storage. After all, if they have the tech to continuously bore long tunnels, boring straight down becomes a much easier task as you don&#x2

Shadenfreude is amusement at small misshaps though. Someone stubbing a toe, dropping something or not winning at a contest after bragging. I've never seen it used for something serious in germany.

There are whole books writen about mathematical objects that turned out to not have existed. Non-computable reals are also perfectly capable of modeling "analog reality" (because for all intents and purposes, reality could be disc

Do you know if these efforts also only limit the formula describing these Qbit to computable reals? I think it's a quite interesting crossroad. Either reals don't exist, and everything is at most turing complete, in which case the

Interestingly enough it would be "especially" integers that don't exist physically in mosts scales of reality if physics is to have any mathematical coherence.

Simplicity pretty much excludes generality in a lot of cases, you're only able to port code to the GPU if it wasn't a million LOC to begin with, so you're pretty much making the case for it. Note that Simple != Easy or Naive

There's only one way to solve this: Simplicity. Ironically this is also what occams razor would demand from good Science, so you'd have a win win scenario, where you both create good software and good research, because you focus o

I had to send a M1 back to apple, because even wiping the whole drive left it as a paperweight. Even spend hours with apple support and nothing worked, there is more to it than just that.

I'm glad that you had such a positive experience! After years of web development I'm just burnt out by the tooling. Layers upon layers, just make debugging so unnecessarily hard. The tooling is brittle and buggy. I've seen ty

All capitalist economies are dependent on exponential growth. We've had exponential growth for 100 years now. We're a thousand fold more productive, goods are a hundred times cheaper to produce. Yet we still work 40 hour weeks. So

Jena is everything but user friendly, it has a lot of weird edge cases, bugs, and a horrible API. RDF4J is okay for RDF, but completely ignores OWL. RDFLib is a bug ridden mess, have you ever used it, or checked their issue tracker, and com

> Don't implement XML serialization. The simplest and most widely supported serialization is n-quads ( https://www.w3.org/TR/n-quads/ ). 10 pages, again with exaples, toc, and lots of non-normative content.

Familiarity isn't nearly enough if you want to implement something. Talking about RDF is absolutely meaningless without talking about Serialisation (and that includes ...URGH.. XML serialisation), XML Schema data-types, localisations,
