This is how we don’t do papers. Even though my pal did a full Gouraud shading in pure assembly using registers only (including the SP and a dummy stack segment) - absolute breakthrough back in 1997. We did a 4 server p3 farm seeding 40mbits

I’m not sure how this generalises to grammar based compression such as SEQUITUR for example is… incidentally LZW also is though not advertised as such. Devising the minimal grammar that generates the text is NP-hard ( https://en.

Cause guy does not code perhaps? Otherwise siding with this comment thread. Claude indeed does super rapid html5 dev a child’s play.

Basically: Guy reinvents MS Access on Google sheets 40 years later. Disclaim: this is not to say Access is to be despised of or anything. People found its utility for many years and the fact it is not what Boyce/Codd suggested they do

is it common/allowed to have set types instead of the A/B/C symbols? or the A/B/C simply implies the sets differ, because functions did something to them? I mean - can you write N, R, C... ? otherwise - very very ve

QGIS on many platforms for the fact that - its 1 CPU-bound, does not facilitate Spatial SQL and does not partition data when loading so-called attribute tables. Literally not useful for layers with more than 500k features. Already addressed

Well if you want it more down to Earth, and if we allow ourselves to dive in the very loose possibility the person did not meet a natural death. (this is a disclaimer). Then you can just for a minute imagine a more trivial (yet conspiracy)

Thank you I know what l systems are. A Semi-Thue grammar which is not really a Chomsky grammar - the way the production rules are applied differs. They are after the name of famous biologist called Lindenmayer, thus the name. I’ve been teac

The word code comes from Latin coudex which seems mean - to hack a tree. Are we then not mere lumberjacks with the beards and beer and all :)))

Business requirements deviate from code almost immediately. Serving several clients with customisation adds even more strain on the process. Eventually you want to map paragraphs of business req to code which is not a 1:1 mapping. Aging cod

My point was that HN glorifies things it does not understand well, purely on aesthetic grounds. While real breakthroughs very often goes unnoticed. Its a bias. And struggling to find truth we should try to eliminate biases, we should first

PostGIS with some middleware and Leaflet is more than enough. The rest is integration of data. OSM is for data, the visualisation lib that is easiest to get right is the Leaflet. You can of course also use OpenLayers. Most layers on this pr

But is this l-system or otherwise based? Why neither the page nor GitHub tells nothing about the math behind the beauty?

This is the level of projects that our GIS students deliver at the end of 60 hours of non-mandatory class. Perhaps 70%+ of visitors of HN can do it if they decide to, it is just an interdisciplinary area that not many explore. A project of

And then suddenly this is not something that fascinates people anymore… in 10 years as non-synthetic becomes the new bio or artisan or whatever you like. Humanity has its ways of objecting accelerationism.

Sorry, i get what the PLATO system is (was?), but I can't get what the IRATA.ONLINE is and how its related. Is it a revival of this PLATO., or a PLATO system, what's the cool thing about it? that you can get Apple II to connect to

this again opens the question what does multiplication actually mean. if you approach it geometrically the metric is something^squared, if you approach it as numbers - its not that straightforward on the numbers line.

Tens of kb worked charm for me in the 90s. For iOt is more than enough. I’m more concerned whether the mesh works when devices move around yet still keep within vicinity of each other.

Everyone I've talked to from the LORA crowd and even some (LORA) alliance guys tells me lo-energy meshes are hard to get right. Am I missing something?

W.Gibson and N.Stephenson have proven right for so many things, like we live in their books. I wouldn't be surprised if they got this one right also, and it sounds plausible. Buuut, then, still, my significant other loves watching Frie

How is this not a demoscène product? Cause it very much seems to be, though not mentioned as such in the text …?

The implication in my riddled-with-typos-and-missing-words comment above was that it seems to be worth learning assembly for the CPU (of any kind), rather than obsolete language which has never had a top reputation. And hat it is within rea
