Designer in an OSS project must be quite a unique job too

Knowing 9 person doing that would be a lot, right ? Or was it double digits before ?

They don’t need designers when they are the free media player that stood the test of time and being used by the masses. It’s true organic bottom up design, tweaked little by little over the years

Fully agree. Statistics are not global irrefutable facts about society, it's literally just one or a group of person computing something random and claiming it is representing society as a whole, or a journalist saying he/she read

Well this is aimed fractalers like me who want to implement deep zooms ourselves, rather than a tutorial for newbies

1. Mandelbrot is infinite. The number pi is infinite too and contains more information than the universe 2. I dont know what you mean or look for with normalization so I can’t answer more 3. It depends on what you mean by computing Mandelbr

Reading the original article I immediately thought about higher order derivative, which made me wonder what laws apply to them, that I’ve never studied that, that’s odd
728.

1. No limit. But you need to find an interesting point, the information is encoded in the numerous digits of this (x,y) point for Mandelbrot. Otherwise you’ll end up in a flat space at some point when zooming 2. Renormalization to do what ?

Right, he didnt find its own mission yet. He needs to work on storytelling :D

Resources are infinite (Julian Simon). And exponential doesnt mean the peak will be in 20 years. It could be 500 years.

Those are great skills. Would another course of action work for you ? For example selecting projects that bring more money, so as to spend less time on those boring projects (saved time could be used on things you enjoy then)

You could try to make a transform based on a sum of lemniscates in the complex plane

Being careful is very costly, if you’re not careful you’re just approximating or being wrong. At this point we have to weigh if the tradeoff of writing it as fractions was really worth it
734.
by ttoinou 2y ago
Why would you even tell in the first places derivatives are simply fractions ? They’re not, unless in some very specific physical approximations and in that case don’t try to do anything funky, sticks with the basics stuff
735.

They’re now reworking transformer designs to use different or less sought-after materials, to last longer, to include power electronics that allow the easy conversion between AC and DC, and to be more standardized and less customized

Seems like he was correct though. This article doesn’t debunk him, you can’t use official statistics to debunk a claim that the statistics are not computed correctly

Yeah non verbal movies like this one, Man with a Movie Camera, Etudes sur Paris, Baraka, Samsara etc. are my favorites !

Two quantities with dimensions D1 and D2 can only be added or subtracted if (and only if) D1≡D2. For example, it does not make sense to add a length to a mass. That’s not true though. Some units cannot be added together, for exampl

coders are both artists and artisans, sometimes it’s just beautiful, sometimes it can generate money

Overeducated people are as much manipulable, but in a different way

I have to admit, I have no idea how I came across this book from Latour, I guess I just liked the title. But the one you quoted looks interesting beyond just the title

Nope ! It's not on my reading list

I read two thirds of "Changer de société, refaire de la sociologie" and it was a hard read, most of what he wrote didn't make sense or wasn't well illustrated. It didn't seem like he wanted me to understand his poin

Have you ever heard the saying “correlation is not causation” ? Couldnt it be that you already had a good enough health to push you to adopt a better sleep schedule ?

Cant wait to play Heroes III, Caesar III, Anno 1602 and Master of Orion II

You wouldn’t see much difference as a user of those tools. And if you’re writing vanilla JS, you’d have less features creeping in over time. So it seems like you would benefit from this kind of change.

GoDaddy also never gave me the domain I tried to buy. What is legally bonding them over delivering their promises ? What can we do ? It's like calling an Uber, agreeing on the price, and then having the driver increase the fare by

I like your Mag World initiative. I had a similar idea… we should reform / simplify how units are dealt with

Waiting for someone to implement a mandelbrot zoom with that (:
