You can do that. Luminance and glium are two examples. I'm not exactly sure what is state of the art though. As a casual observer, it seems that making a properly typed opengl wrapper is apparently quite hard, and the solution space ha

I've had a bit of a go at this, (although I didn't spend all that much time on it). One thing that challenged my expectations was that it seems you need a lot more data than you might think. Lots of species only have a handful of

These two posts by the creator, Mike Bostock, sound similar to what the gp described. https://bost.ocks.org/mike/join/ https://observablehq.com/@d3/selection-join

I depart from that L/R split pretty regularly, especially when coding. I frequently have a single large window taking up half of my screen, and several smaller windows stacked vertically on the other half. The big window is usually the

I think this is actually a good explanation of the lift force, but lots of other factors come in to play for wing shape. Two other big factors are drag forces, which are dependent on the surface area, air density and the velocity of the cra

The elevator car is a thought experiment that draws attention to the equivalence in sensation of acceleration on one hand, and being in a uniform gravitational field on the other hand. As you correctly point out, this particular thought e

It's a relatively common idiom here in Australia. It gets used quite a bit in STEM education, i.e. "prove such-and-such from first principles", but is also pretty common more colloquially. According to your link, it is also u

My whole work consists of manipulating arrays of numbers, mostly in python. I use pandas by default, and treat numpy as a specialised tool to be brought out when the use-case necessitates. Some big things for me are a) timeseries methods th

Modelling is not just a matter of removing irrelevant detail. It is also about identifying and isolating the different dynamical systems that are at play so that we can build an intuition for how a complex system behaves. Even if the factor

Prior to giving real analysis and measure theory a serious go, I feel as though I was carrying around quite a lot of notation baggage that was essentially opaque to me. A lot of it was simply "received knowledge" and not at all cl

Same here. I got really excited by pipenv, but every single time I've tried it, it takes 10+ minutes to determine the dependencies and build a lock file (see issue 2284 [1]). It just makes it un-usable for a lot of my use-cases, e.g. s

That was incredible. Thanks!

I agree with the argument, but I'm skeptical of the claim that "injury rates from de-risked playgrounds are not materially lower". If these playgrounds are more expensive to build and deliver no benefit at all, surely they wo

You are misunderstanding my use of the word "complex". I'm saying that after encoding the graph structure I found Baby Rudin contained more complexity (i.e. connectedness) than the other texts that I repeated the excersise fo

I don't doubt your expertise, and no doubt I still have a lot to learn, but I have to admit I find it off-putting that you immediately assumed a position of talking down to me. It's not at all clear to me what part of my comment y

Not currently. I would certainly ShowHN if I ever develop it to such a point, but I honestly wouldn't say that this is likely. Please feel free to run with it youself!

Sure. The code is a mess of scripts and initial work on a web interface. It is not currently in a form to release. It began as just an aid to help myself understand what I was studying. To get a sense of the "road map". I collecte

A while ago I did this for a few analysis text books that I was working through: Baby Rudin, Big Rudin, Calculus on Manifolds, and a couple of others. As I was working through the books I would capture every numbered definition or theorem i

I feel like PEP557 missed an opportunity when it named data classes. The syntax is such an improvement that there is very little reason not to use them over ordinary classes for most purposes.

I think you have misinterpreted the parent comment. The point is precisely that manual tweaks to drivers selection, kernel settings, and Xorg/wayland, survive in modern desktop Linux mostly as an example of cargo cult. They aren't

I love the Feynman lectures, but I feel like he does this sort of thing all of the time. He's so keen on delivering intuition for the subject that sometimes he glosses over crucial technical details.

I'm teaching myself graduate mathematical analysis using Rudin and whatever I can find online. It's a really beautiful subject, and I'm finding myself look forward to the little time I have in the day for it.
