I'm incorrect. there's a spec discussed here https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Infinity-...

Because representing infinity is not possible outside of symbolic logic and isn’t encodable in floats. I think it is a simple numerical reason and not a deeper computer reason.

Cute names for standard things is one of my software bug bears, i.e. pet peeves, i.e. annoyances. Ruby gems and rust crates and something something beans. It is cute jargon and it annoys me to hide the definition inside a language specific

I have an uneasy feeling logging into a Text Editor vscode and seeing a Microsoft correlated account, work or personal, in the lower left corner. I understand that settings sync or whatever but it’d be preferred to keep to a simple config j

I’m curious what the cumulative operating cost / financial repayment plan is relative to the capital installation cost. Funny enough if it is advantageous to you vs solar city that is one more argument in favor of them running a poor b

Ok fair point. One such method was an improvement in matrix matrix multiplication in 2022. So I’m sure there is a potential discovery of many efficient numerical algorithms that will be uncovered with machine learning. https://ww

Yep, the crowning achievement of machine complexity in recent human history is easily generalized in computational efficacy by effectively markov chain chatbots that were trained on project Gutenberg, reddit comments, and github python and

Or it could become a gameable review step like first line resume review. I think the only structural way to change research publication quality en mass is to change the incentives of the publishers, grant recipients, tenure track requiremen

If I could afford it, I’d certainly get a >$2000 queen size mattress in a few years. Nice firm mattresses are expensive. Internet connection and temperature control are not something I’m remotely interested in. A subscription doubly so.

Hi, I just renewed my sublime text and merge licenses after starting in 2021. Thank you for sticking to simple product excellence and not following trends. Thanks for focusing on the editor for human users and not pushing some service based

Yeah I have accessibility/distraction issues with all the flair and animations and small text in vs code. I know all text editors need some degree of config to be comfortable but sublime is nearly immediately usable. Vs code is the onl

I’ve heard of typst before. A light language for better markup sounds great. LaTex is a dark art and I just repeat basic incantations learned from the elder boards. But, I cannot bring myself to write docs in a web browser and use web app s

Latex and git has been advantageous to authoring a resume for me. It separates the layout design ant content. “Oh no it’s 2 pages with only education on p2.” Quickly comment out a bullet and print off a fresh 1 page pdf. I don’t use dumb wo

In my opinion, that’s the magic of programming languages. I type a few high level words and characters, then there is a deep stack of interpreting the strings into machine code and returning data and side effects. It is stupid simple as the

You have no idea how many steps, robotics, offsets, material feeds, alignments, tool setup, recipe fixing, materials troubleshooting go into a fab. These are all to run automated processes. You underestimate how difficult it is to sink heat

They built the supplier global and local ecosystem and they have a local pipeline for engineering and technician talent. The US has good graduate and university systems but the industrial culture is different and you see that in operations.

I am so confused how their corroborating charts indicate that sea ice is receding, yet they interpret it as a reversal and proof that warming / climate change is a myth.

I admit data collection is imperfect, especially looking back 200 years. But to attack a fairly sound hypothesis that is multi factorially demonstrated in physical geological behavior, I wholeheartedly disagree with. Just because US weather

Ok, arctic sea ice. Ice exists at temperature below 0C or 32F at 1atm AND at system energy levels below the enthalpy of melting for liquid water, or latent heat for this first order phase change. Thermodynamics uses temperature and pressure

It’s nuts using youtube-dl and unwrapping to get the opus files are like 96kbs and sound good. 96kbs mp3 would need to mix to mono and still sound like gravel.

I’d recommend using the polars SQL context manager if wanting to defer learning how to do everything through their API. The API is a big enough shift from pandas it took me a minute to figure out but I really enjoy having the choice to stay

The only time I’ve had version issues running python code is that someone prior was referencing a deprecated library API or using an obscure package that shouldn’t see the light of day in a long lived project. If you stick to the tried and
