Here is why the "one physics simulation should cover it all" idea will never work: The word "physics" is just too broad. Is it about particle simulation (classical N-body simulations)? Or is it about fluid simulation (cl

Slightly off topic: To be honest, the non correct indendation in https://orgmode.org/resources/img/main.svg is the reason why I always change my text editor fonts in a way that for every highlight variant, the sa

I second this so much! I have the feeling that the ASF tries to be so enterprisy with Java. I have no idea. (Note that there are a lot of very high quality Apache java projects.)

Yep, this is kind of npm but for browsers. But already the sheer size of npm shows how this is hardly possible: http://www.modulecounts.com/ -- I expect the npm repository to be at the size of two to three letters in gigaby

I like how this ironic sentence is still 100% valid in today's world, 10 years later (2009-2020): > This is a way to tell Amazon.com that our browser is trying to reach https://www.amazon.com/ . This is really conven

This is actually quite a good example that websites are bloated and this problem is tried to be solved or worked-around at the protocol level. Which is adding even more bloat and craft in terms of code complexity. These are the two sides of

It would be super helpful to have such a tool be part of a command line browser such as lyx or links.

This is an absolutely fantastic project. It's such a pity that fundamental basics such as "how does a CPU actually work, from first principles?" isn't taught in schools any more. I know that in Germany at quiete some mid

That makes me feel nostalgic. 15 years ago, the Linux desktop was either KDE or Gnome, which were both heavy in startup time and RAM usage (and still are). Next to "Enlightenment", Xfce was the only other desktop environment. Much

I have a different impression. I have the feeling that the Java language itself stucks in it's original idioms. If there would not be other languages on the JVM, such as Kotlin, Graal.* or Clojure, I guess the Java ecosystem would perc

I don't really get their plans. Personal backup is unlimited in storage size, but limited in the number of backing up computers. There are quite a lot of similiar services. In the end, the average plans are at the order of $2 per terab

I use Nextcloud (open source) hosted on a cheap VPS. Auto upload works great from Android, and the storage is synced to my notebooks which serve as a backup. As I have all the files locally on my notebooks, I can use any offline file viewer

You could check out Nextcloud (a fork of owncloud), which has a decent photo explorer/app included.

I don't think it is a mistake in language design. In the 90s, memory was a rare good, and it still is in the microprocessor world, where "only" a few kilobytes of RAM are available. There are performance critical paths where

A tree is a graph without cycles. A graph is a relational structure E(a,b) which can easily be stored in tables. This is why relational databases like SQL store tables. So there's nothing exceptional about storing graphs, and adjacency

JSON is by far not the universal exchange format. There are plenty of use cases where JSON is not well suited, such as: - regular/tabular data where JSON fails at processing speed and/or compressibility. One of the most efficient

Great comment! Can you share some information about the toolchain used around S-expressions this way? Did you really write literals in that way without quoting, etc.? I like S-expressions (data and/or code in S-expressions) a lot and w
