Yes, it's cool how logical all the creases are. The first two align with the border of the paper. All other creases align with previous creases.

I think that was the year my internet career started. It began when one evening I was hanging out in an internet cafe. At some point, someone said "Oh there comes the guy who owns the company that provides us with internet access"

The SSI syntax is not as lean and convenient as the syntax I am going for. It would lead to less readable and more bloated content files.

With a single script with 50 lines of code, I will forever be able to pick it up again, understand it, use it, improve it. Handling will be quick. No installation, just copy the script, run it, done. Using a project made of thousands of fil

I am currently thinking about how to set up a new content website. So I looked at the existing solutions. Wordpress, Jekyll etc etc etc. I did not find a solution that I like. I came to the conclusion that a solution should be file based an

I think we are like mold on a tomato that is floating in space. At the moment, we are barely visible. But over time, the whole tomato (planet earth) will turn into mold. Earth is 10^24 kg. So far, humans are something like 10^11 kg. Maybe 1

From a user perspective, how does everyone here feel about magic links vs email and password? Personally, I am torn. As a developer, magic links are awesome. You put a new project online, and everyone on planet earth already is a user. Well

What is the maximum resolution possible with this? If it depends on the hardware, what would be the limit when one rents the biggest machine available in the cloud?

Observations: 1: Amazing that Javascript is the most popular language, despite nobody has yet managed to write a fast FizzBuzz in it :) https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/215216/high-thr... 2: SQL and Ba

Is there a way to try it online or on Debian running in a docker container? Preferably, I would like to try it in Vim. But anything that I can run in a container would be ok.

With SearX I would have to maintain a python parser for each engine: https://github.com/searx/searx/tree/master/searx/engines Most of which are like 100 lines long: https://github.com&#x2

Do you use these? I tried Kagi and liked the design. Having to log into a search engine to use it is a no-go to me, though. But if there is "demand" for it, I can surely add it. So far, I think I am the only user of Gnod Search. N

Yay, another person who keeps an eye on the landscape of search engines and tries different ones. I thought I am the only one with this hobby. I made this page to be able to use a different search engine for every search I do: https:/

I also have one for two years now: https://twitter.com/marekgibney/status/1276881389091278848 I have to say that I never found a use case for it. I remember that I hated the OS it came with. I think it was some fl

Well, that's part of the challenge. To write to stdout as fast as possible. There is a large FizzBuzz shootout here that I like: https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/215216 I think it's a nice "s

Yeah, I know all the different language versions from the FizzBuzz shootout on Stackoverflow. I'm particularly interested in comparing PHP, Python and Javascript. So I would like to write an "optimal" PHP version first. Afaik

Yay, let's talk about FizzBuzz! This is the fastest PHP version I could come up with so far: <?php ob_start(null, 32000); $a = [0, 1, 'fizz', 3, 'buzz', 'fizz', 6, 7, &

I would love to see an estimation of how small real world images would get if we could calculate their Kolmogorov complexity. Aka if we could find the shortest program that produces the image as output. Some images obviously would become ve

There is a movie from 1998 called "pi" about a number theorist who got sucked into it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi_(film) I saw it a long time ago, but still vividly remember some of the scenes.

I like to put things on x/y-charts to get a visual overview. Even things that usually are not displayed in this fashion. When it comes to prime numbers, it always irked me, that one cannot easily look at them in a visual way. I always

It's not too complex. A line is just <line x1=10 y1=20 x2=30 y2=40>: https://jsfiddle.net/46q5srhg/ It can also be used inside markdown, which supports it out of the box because SVG is part of HTML: https:&

My feeling is that there is no such thing as a "minimal configuration" when it comes to universes. Because there is no way to evaluate how "minimal" a configuration is. No matter which elementary property you assume the

The Mandelbrot set comes to mind. It has a many aspects one would want from a good universe. Infinite detail. But not "boring". The digits of PI have infinite detail too, but when you don't know the algorithm itself, they pro
