the smoke that comes from the fairies is a bit deterministic for my tastes -- looks like it is being driven by a trigonometric function and doesn't have much turbulence or interaction with local environment/surfaces.

I am curious how hn would construct a program which tried to minimize the latency of "simplest" test possible. Lets say -- press the space bar and the pixel at top right of screen turns green. I used to use nasm on a dos machine -

For example, it would be trivial to default content be shared to friends only. If Zuck gave a true shit about privacy, that change could happen instantly, and years ago.

While I think this 14 year old and story is authentic, I think this will be misused as a motivational story to fuel Zuckerberg's new white-knighting of privacy concerns. It's really important that Facebook be held to account for t

Thanks for your helpful reply, but I am still having an issue understanding part of the idea of mapping sets of points. Suppose that there was an arbitrary rule that points can only exist at integer coordinates, then (0,2] would have 2 elem

I'm not intuitively convinced that this proof is sound because I feel like is ignoring the concept of "stretching" when mapping a fixed range like (0,1) to a larger or smaller set. EG, I don't care that you can map point

Is there a more direct way to encode garbage collection in type unification without separate treatment? Eg can you chain pure fuctions together that pass a world(memory block) around inside of some user defined monad that does the memory ma

If we arrange all possible combinations of letters into strings, then we can have all the books which burned in Alexandria. But if you had to walk along an isle in the library of the superset of all possible books, you would die before you

www is a sub domain and orthogonal to protocol. Eg ftp://www.yo.com should be valid as well.

Ridiculous we are still waiting on a Turing Tumble llvm backend that will emit decent marble netlistings. I swear if it doesn’t have proper tail recursion, you will have an actual mess when the stack overflows near the mere thought of fib(n

The amount of energy depends on how long the average cup would sit. A better critism might be complications in climates where water freezes. In any case, there is nothing so wrong with my comment that necessitates a negative attitude. I wou

They may as well make the concrete blocks in the shape of cups. Open a drain hole when the cups are on the ground. When the cups are on top of the towers, let them fill with rain.

I am loving this paper so far, brings together some nice ideas with a good eye for knowing what sub topics to explore. The graphical notation is reminiscent of certain graphics that can be expressed with a recursive png tool at http:/

I wonder - to what extent does cooperating with gov’t on data collection act as insurance against being sued out of existence. IE - if you play nice and install a backdoor for nsa to query your data, will they influence trials? Obviously th

I agree that deceptive marketing should be punished. With that out of the way, I am genuinely curious: Has you or anyone you know ever believed that Tesla's have autopilot? Anyone I have ever spoken to basically thinks that Teslas have

I made a font based off Kobigraphs with font struct a few years ago [1] - but it’s not really a perfect mapping. I found the dotlessbraille.org site quite interesting. [1] https://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show&#x2F

The article states: "A central pillar of quantum theory is that the information — the probabilistic 1s and 0s representing particles’ states — is never lost. (The present state of the universe preserves all information about the past.)

Re “trusting trust” - do you know if it is possible to build a constant time encoder on top of a maliciously compromised system/toolchain? I assume it is not possible in general. Maybe this is a worthless observation because it applies

>> Aligning the code means compiler will insert NOPs before the code you want to align. That increases binary size and might cost you performance if you insert a lot of nops in the hot path. In the end executing nops doesn’t come for

I would search for nice enumerations of graphs, hash functions, types and functions. I doubt I would make any progress in a month or perhaps ever. 1. Find a nice numbering system for graphs. (Rooted trees already have a nice numbering syste

There is a simpler explanation. It is the Peter principle. A person is promoted until failure. All else being equal, if two people are leaders, leader A will be on average as good as leader B. If one were significantly better, they would be

Nice website. The “about” section is probably the most interesting for visitors and could be expanded. Readers might not know what TAS is. Is there anything you want to add or change about the site?
