This isn't new. I first learned about Sierpinski triangles with this algortihm in the early 90s. Later, I learned how it can be generalised to IFS and opened my eyes to much more interesting examples. I think there's even an entir

> $10 a month is less than one lost hour of work. This is a pretty feeble argument for something, especially for a product where the user perception is that it should be free, and there exist multiple free options already. While "on

What I found is that the TVs support HDMI 2.0, but at least a few years ago even the high-end graphics cards only did HDMI 1.4, and so couldn't drive at both 4K and 60Hz, even though they were able to support the same over DisplayPort.

I guess yes I do, although I've never really been that bothered by syntax highlighting, so I don't use it as much as most. When I do use it, it'll be subtle e.g. change from black to dark blue, or similar. But I also do a lot

"The problem is that most people are not exposed to real-life English. It's either quite artificial language during classes or well spoken lines in movies." This is true of most languages. My favourite example in Mandarin Chi

The counter example for Spanish is b/v which is pretty much the same sound in most dialects nowadays, and it seems increasingly common to see misspellings online, e.g. baca for cow.

"Esperanto would be like Haskell: beautifully pure and regular but no one uses it except for a passionate community of die-hard zealots." You say "would be" like that's not already the case! (for both examples)

Oh, and an afterthought... It's much easier to understand a dialect of your native language because you already have a very comprehensive vocabulary and understanding of typical language use in your country. It's fair easier to fi

I think one quote from the article shows how even though the author has a pretty good understanding of English already, he doesn't understand the depth to which your mother tongue permeates your thinking system. "Still, guess what

This new format sounds interesting. I personally have been using a fairly cheap 48" 4K TV as my primary desktop monitor for a number of years, as that combination is effectively like a 2x2 arrangement of normal sized 1080p monitors. It

I've just found another link that isn't paywalled: https://www.reuters.com/business/retail-consumer/amazon-stop... This says that only Visa credit cards will be blocked, not Visa debit cards. I have a sp

Presumably Amazon have some stats of how frequently each type of card is used on their platform, even if that's just aggregation done on the first 4 digits of the card number. They are probably well placed to determine how many custome

There might be something going on with Visa in the UK. I've noticed that all the bank accounts I've had that used Visa for debit cards for many years all seem to have switched to Mastercard recently. Presumably they wouldn't

So, I'd like to try this and I think it's a viable approach... But a language, especially one with a different script that I can't read, really needs some audio clues too, because that's a big thing that'll help to
