This sounded at first like a mouth guard, to stop teeth grinding.

Would it not have been easy to add branch instructions to it? Just rewind the instruction tape however many places. It seems 99% of the job was done.

I did some manual partitioning when installing Kalpa: I added a Swap partition whose capacity I set equal to RAM + 2GB, which got hibernate working. I think Hibernate is strictly better than Sleep: Why should a computer still use power when

Being able to roll back updates/upgrades that go wrong, is not just fixing a minor inconvenience. There's also something about the critical part of the system being less mutable. Desktop Linux has been way too easy to break in the

You might know this, but unfortunately, if you leave an Arch install unused for enough time, and then run an update, you might not be able to boot into a working desktop. [EDIT] Oh, and I had a lot of problems installing Kalpa (from the sub

OpenBSD might have "better" support for sleep and hibernate, but I didn't succeed in installing it on this laptop: I think it required me to connect an Ethernet cable, which I wasn't going to do. Veering even more off-to

I think you would get sqrt(x^2) = x, if x belonged to the natural domain of sqrt , which is a Riemann surface, that may also be defined using the language of "sheaves". I don't know how to connect this to the article or Math

Does anyone else think that the latest LLMs - some of which can be used locally for free - combined with proof-verifying software like Coq or Lean for mistake-detection, might make many uses of Computer Algebra Systems like Mathematica obso

Chebyshev polynomials cos(n arcos(x)) provide one of the proofs that every continuous function f:[0,1]->R can be uniformly approximated by polynomial functions. Bernstein polynomials provide a shorter proof, but perhaps not the best nume

The 1200 one is perfectly comprehensible to me, and I don't think it's that foreign at all.

Never learnt much Dutch or German, however I understand virtually 100% of everything down to and including "1200". On 1100, my understanding collapses suddenly to 30%.

In the most extreme case of this, you can use Counting Sort. Tangential to this, Spaghetti Sort makes me wonder about which parts of CS (especially the data structures, like arrays) are objective or just accidental. The transdichotomous mod

I've been thinking about this myself. First, let's try differential equations, which are also the point of calculus: Idea 1: The general study of PDEs uses Newton(-Kantorovich)'s method, which leads to solving only the li

Lack of informed consent is a serious possible issue here. Lack of accountability might be another one. Being cheaper, by contrast, shouldn't be seen as bad. But all of this needs to be proven.

Deaths of "many girls", when the parent comment said it was at most 1 out of 2300 participants (a suicide)? Those numbers might, however, be untrustworthy. I don't know India well enough to know how much to trust statistics c

You shouldn't think that everyone has a fine-tuned sense of scale for how many protesters a government can kill in a short amount of time.

That's way higher than I thought. Is there any evidence? Dresden was 25,000, and the V2 and V1 campaigns had less numbers. So this is high even for an aerial bombing campaign. [edit] I don't get why I'm getting downvoted. A
