I suppose it depends on how you define "everyday life", but in digital image processing, derivatives can be used as a relatively simple method for edge detection. For example, the Sobel and Prewitt operators (1st derivative) and t

I found this post because it showed up in a TUI Microsub[0] client that talks to a Microsub server[1] which is subscribed to one of the HN-to-RSS service's front page feed. I use my RSS/feed reader pretty extensively as a central

It's a real shame, Ubuntu used to be my go-to distro, but for me this is the last straw in the history of shady things Canonical has done. One of the things I liked most about Ubuntu is that the installation process is incredibly easy

There actually is, kind of. The IndieWeb[0] community has come up with a protocol called AutoAuth[1] that solves this exact problem. It's only a rough draft at the moment and it is built upon the IndieAuth[2] protocol (which, in turn,
