If you want to use JSON as a configuration language, why keep the top level braces and indentation?

That's just a roundabout way of saying they don't expect their money back they just hope to sell before the bubble bursts.

I'd be surprised if this isn't already the case. The extent to which you can do business in the EU without legal presence is limited. It is not a huge amount of protection though. I mean we've already established that selling

That seems a bit excessive, especially since the water compartment should typically only come into contact with water. The most critical part is the part you put the coffee in, which you can just put in the dishwasher every so often. Soakin

Is it me or do dependent types look really similar to the axiom of choice?

I think the short names aren't anywhere near as bad for readability as using (ri,i) as a table index. If you're going to use short names at least make it clear which belong together. Especially don't use different lengths whe

Given that choice I'd rather choose to be unhackable.

Could be noise, but finding a smooth image that rounds to a good enough approximation of the original is quite useful. If you see a video player talk about debanding it is a exactly that. I don't know if JPEG XL constrains solutions to

I completely agree. Based on my limited experience with image upscaling, downscaling, and superresolution, saving video at a lower resolution is the second crudest way of reducing the file size. The crudest is downsampling the chroma channe

I don't think there's any mathematical reason to lay out the elements in memory that way. Sure given no context I would probably use i = row + n col as index, but it doesn't really matter much me. If I had to pick between a m

I think ransom is also a bit of a misnomer that the hackers deliberately use to frame the transaction in a more positive light. I mean, it's just extortion. Nothing is being ransomed, you don't get something back and you can'

Once you figure out the trick to the row column puzzle it becomes trivial to solve, except that you need a steady hand.

Is there a way to read the rest?

I'm currently dealing with some of the fallout of their marketing, could you explain a bit better what you mean? It was good but isn't any more?

While this remains possible my main impression now is that progress seems to be slowing down rather than accelerating.

I don't quite understand why they forbid this from being used in functions. I mean I get why that makes the most sense in most scenarios, but it is not as if the problem of having to choose between declaring dependencies up front or de

If you want to avoid the double root you could also solve for sin(2t). The derivative of the arcsin is simpler if anything. You may need some special handeling for sin(2t)=1 still. You could pretend the funtion continues there (just join it

That is a symplistic view, two people can achieve a lot more together than individually and today's society can achieve a lot more than prehistoric humanity. I can get fruit and spices delivered to me that a Roman emperor would barely

I'm not sure if extending the Einsteind notation made this much more readable than what it is supposed to be replacing. It doesn't help that I've read three pages of the docs in an attempt to understand and all of them just r

I rarely use anything other than a bowline, midshipman's hitch (and variants, very useful) or zeppelin bend. A reef bend also works, but has many ways to tie it wrong. The most important thing is to know when to use what.

That is interesting, I hadn't really given it much thought but my first instinct would be to assume the algebra in algebraic effect was not about having algebra like definitions but was in fact a direct reference to an algebra of a mon

I knew inversion must have had something to do with it. Seeing it spelled out like that makes it pretty clear. Sending the point where all three outer circles meet to infinity you get two parallel lines (they only touch at infinity) and one

In statistical physics they still use C a lot, as far as I know.

Wel what does it mean to be orthogonal? I'd argue that if you only have a metric then a line (segment) is orthogonal to some set if it is the shortest path from a point to a set. For norms it should work to only consider straight lines

I mean they decompose in orthogonal components for all Lp norms I think? Is there a norm for which (x,0) is not the closest point to (x,y) on the x-axis?

Indeed it is not merely about the right people have to do something. It is about the right of the government to harm its citizens, all of them, all the time.

Most of the special properties can be traced back to its special relationship with the inner product. And inner products have somewhat more elementary properties, so in that sense it explains the special position of the euclidean norm. This
