I have the "ultimate", I think? I can't remember the exact model. (Quick search on Amazon shows https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B9BGJVLL is the one I ordered.) And I hasten to say that I use it far far mor

I fully subscribe to this view. The obsession with people hating all things California is borderline insane, at this point. I probably too fully subscribe to this view. Seems a lot of "western" things that people love to complai

To be fair, videos of ideal walkable cities always have an absurd amount of active space. :)

I have an 8bitDo controller that works quite well. I don't have trouble with it.

by taeric 1y ago
Not to my knowledge. My point is that that is probably closer to what is needed for a lot of the dream cities than people acknowledge. Granted, college dormitory is a hyperbolic. More realistic, will be your standard smaller apartment blo

I fear it often cuts a different way. Everyone wants it so that they can have the benefits of the car, along with the benefits of nobody using a car. A friend I was talking with called it the "main character syndome." It is a lo

Ah, I don't have an xbox controller, so maybe I'm lucky in that regard? I don't get to try on the TV that often, what with the kids having taken over that avenue. :D

Why doesn't this work? Seemed fine the few times I've done it.

by taeric 1y ago
Right, but if you already have a car, you are likely to reach for it quite often. And, I can agree it is the kind of thing that can save time for anyone, but will spend time for everyone.

by taeric 1y ago
I'm torn on this. It is a very appealing way to blame people in discussing why it goes this way. It doesn't contend with the fact that having a car is ridiculously useful. It is intensely amusing when I see people in other natio

Are there any measures that show any downside to this? I confess a bit of bewilderment at how many people will assert there must be something bad every time this comes up. I don't think a single measured outcome has gone poorly from

My gut is that this is where it should shine, oddly. The appeal of literate programming is that you can reflow the code to how you want to explain it. As such, if you had to add a bit of code in several places for a reason that you can ex

I'm not entirely clear why/how this is an open source issue? My assertion: Inertia of user base is by far the largest predictor of what will stick in a market. If you can create a critical mass of users, then you will get a more

Sorta? Noweb and org mode's support of it, at least, has a "detangle" and it worked surprisingly well last time I tried it. You can't edit the comments it puts in the source, for obvious reasons. And I'm sure it

by taeric 1y ago
I mean... somewhat yes to all of those? Emacs can even do most of what you are asking for. When I export an org buffer, it even has the syntax highlighting in the html that I was looking at. :D Obviously, the type checking will be a bit

I think this certainly happens a fair bit. Not at all uncommon to have a section that largely says what is going to happen next, which, fair that what is going to happen is what happens. I think where it shines, is where it helps you break

Right, I meant my lead to be an agreement on the the coarsest possible parsing having trouble doing these things. With the understanding that it isn't just coarse straight to non-coarse. You will build up more capabilities as you pro

Adding late to this, as I didn't get to actually look at this video yesterday. I would still agree that you can do better than the examples I'm finding, but I am not entirely clear why/how the dragon curve is honestly any bet
949.
by taeric 1y ago
I would agree. I was actually hoping to be proven wrong with that example. I have yet to see anything other than a constraint program that looks easier to understand in logic programming, sadly.

by taeric 1y ago
Ish? Is only really true if what you are programming can be seen as a search for the completion of a statement? For an easy example to consider, what would the logical program look like that described any common fractal? https:/&#x2

On this, I would have to see much stronger proof. I can grant that very dense cities such as London had food markets necessary to supply the city. With the huge caveat that those markets had to have fairly rapid turnover for all of their o

And this is an example where I feel this is strikingly like proper name usage in language. Everyone has a different set of proper names that they have ingrained in their mind for so long that, hearing them, they will jump out differently t

by taeric 1y ago
I question this? Sure, it is difficult, if not possible, to match function names/calls using a naive single pass. But, I don't see any reason you couldn't do a full parse and work from there? This is really no different tha

Its a big shame, as my preference for how to see code would 100% fall in a "literate style" if I could get it. I'd love an even more dynamic view than that style, if I could. But, I'm fairly sure that 100% correct synt

This feels overstated. Though, it isn't like current affairs aren't trying their best to make the overstated seem tame. :D

I posted in another thread how reliable some old/popular answers can be. Frustratingly so. :D Exercise is annoying, as without a lot of modern life, it largely takes care of itself. Back when I could just walk to a grocery, as an eas

My main lack of trust for this is the over leaning on "incompetence" as the explanation. I'm fully ok with the idea that they made mistakes and were not ready for the vastly different climate. I'm even comfortable with

You are still strengthening the claim beyond the paper, is my point. The paper, specifically, has several other explanations beyond "they didn't know how to care for nets." For example: The colonists’ performance in fi

I find this intensely amusing. In grade school, I got "mono" and dang near literally slept for several days. Granted, being sick is a bit different than being disinterested. My problem is typically more that there are plenty of

You see similar in other arenas, too. And sometimes, as annoying as it is, popular techniques really do have better success than not. Even more annoying, unpopular techniques can often have better success rate than we care to acknowledge.
