   This is terrible imo, but does is further evidence that semver should have a fourth, non-semantic marketing prefix. Because otherwise people will do ... "things" like this.

   I actually wrote a DHT that operated over WebRTC itself with in-band signalling for my undergrad thesis, in the application/js layer. Total PITA, but a ... "good?" learning experience.

   What? Expectation or risk-adjusted expectation are specified in neither case, they are the defining characteristics and you can't make statements about either of the cases without knowing or estimating them.

   The Caltrain horns are so loud I have decided I believe in a conspiracy theory - the volume was mandated in the name of "safety" by a lobbying group secretly working for the auto industry. Nowhere else I've been are trains so

    The incentives for the service provider are bad, the incentives for the payment provider are not. Thus cancellation should be handled through the payment provider.

    It really is horrible to do it that way - at University, our final grades were often released on a particular day but at an unknown time, ruining the day until around 5pm on one occasion.

    Have you read Plato's "Republic"? He had some ideas along your lines. Copied here from a dubious online summary: """ In the first of several radical claims that he makes in this section Socrates declares that f

    Because this was intended to support `accelerate` and uses the variable-mode ad approach presented in 'the simple essence of automatic differentiation' which afaik has not been implemented in conjunction with `accelerate` . (Your

    I'd suggest watching scenes from "Who's line is it anyway" on youtube to familiarise yourself.

    I used this to write a game playing engine recently, was quite fun. However the ecosystem is not that developed on the JS side - ran into bundling issues with both parcel and webpack that were totally mystifying. https://github.

    These support truncation better than coordinates. With coordinates, truncation indicates a different location, with these it indicates a larger area.

    Have people here heard of "what3words"? It's a similar encoding scheme that is much more human-memorable (for English speakers, at least). The same spot, to +-1.5m is universe.renovated.upon as opposed to 6GCRPR6C+24

    So this is... Sort of true? Alpha/Beta pruning relies on heuristics and exploits their power with search. The heuristics that make stockfish so strong are numerous, handcrafted and try to account for many notions of material. In the cu

    This is technically correct, but it doesn't really capture the spirit of what I was saying - an arbitrary long keyboard mash of the 20 bases is a protein, most things called "copolymers" are substantially simpler. Perhaps it

    So I have been wondering what the world would be like if randomly selected self-report happiness was an executive-level KPI (key performance indicator) at Facebook. Perhaps a billion people might be a few percent happier?

    Worth checking the Wikipedia page on matrix calculus to see which version of the notation you use! This is in numerator (iirc) and so d (vec x) / d(t) = (vec x). I was used to d (vec x) / d(t) = transpose(vec x), and so this cookb
