Unfortunately there's not a great deal of publicly available examples of SolveSpace being used as a library. I almost immediately ran into a problem when I recently tried to have it solve a simple triangle system [1]. I'm probably

Nice to see my work is not completely unnoticed, but, you are right to take it with a grain of salt as I don't actively maintain any of the stuff I linked! The paper I previously linked discusses the problem of "solution selection

On a shallow note, I hope the command is changed or aliased if this becomes mainstream - writing "pijul" at the start of every command is awkward on English keyboards given that all the letters are near to each other on one side.

I'm a bit confused why the filter list's page says that then. I'm not sure why they need such a disclaimer, even if what it said was true.

I noticed that about Slate too, yesterday, when another HN article linked to them. Now I just open sites that break GDPR laws in a private tab, accept all of their cookie things and skim the article and determine if it's worth properly

While I wholeheartedly agree about academic paywalls sucking, the paper PDF was literally the first result on DuckDuckGo [1, 2], at least for me! [1] https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Probable+Inference%2C+the+Law+of+S... [2] http

This. I also found the Daily Mail decided that if you ignored the banner asking for consent and scrolled far enough down the page, it assumed consent for everything. Definitely shady, probably illegal.

I had a similar experience during my physics PhD. Going in to the degree I thought I'd just learn physics more deeply. What I ended up learning is how to learn itself, not because of any course I took but because I spent years surround

I don't have a problem with large plugin projects charging money, but I have a problem with (1) very basic plugins asking for money and (2) spammy, clickbait tactics to upgrade; for example, asking the user to upgrade to premium after

On the topic of the prevalence of freemium plugins in WordPress ecosystem: I really detest this. Given the huge effort that has gone in to WordPress itself - freely provided to the community - it's ridiculous for small plugins - that i

What a long winded article. It gets to the point in the last few paragraphs: WordPress needs to add more options for free customisation, and is doing so with Gutenberg, but some people don't like it.

Funnily enough, the moon has recently been used to constrain the gravitational wave stochastic background [1], i.e. the space-time strain created by the stochastic gravitational wave emission of all massive bodies in the universe. [1] http

LISA has now been funded by ESA with a small contribution from NASA. It is slated for launch in the late 2020s / early 2030s.

One reason would be that gravitational wave amplitude decays only as 1/distance instead of electromagnetic radiation which decays as 1/(distance squared). ...But man-made gravitational waves are, without some scientific advance ec

Spot on regarding cars parked on public property. Think how much space there would be for cycle lanes and lanes for anything else like scooters if we got rid of all the car storage.

Happy user of redshift for years. Almost no problem except a strange one on Ubuntu 16.04 involving the Geoclue dependency. On 18.04 it is flawless.

Having never used it, I wonder, could Julia replace Python as the de-facto standard in scientific computing and data analysis? What does it do well?

Thanks for taking a look! > the input is pretty esoteric to a newbie like me Yeah, those input and output files are what LISO uses. This was developed between around 1995 and 2010, and was built mostly to solve specific problems the orig
