Hmmm. I think it’s easy to fix that: Suppose that there’s a function f, that can be written as an infinite sum (integral) of shifted Dirac impulses, but cannot be written in your representation as a sum of those “base functions”. Then simpl

Hm. Interesting. I always viewed real functions as infinite-dimensional vectors in the "canonical" basis, that is, shifted Dirac impulses. I guess it can be transformed into your representation with a change of basis with some han

>default integration of ad blockers into more browsers Good idea! The only way this could fail is if some huge advertising company had created their own browser and became dominant on the market. We would be so screwed! XD

Feel free to change your browser's default stylesheet if you're not satisfied with it.

Strange... I’ve seen plenty of “modern” websites without 3rd party JS bloat.

Hmm, ok that makes sense. I’ve misinterpreted it as China apologetism. Mea culpa. And yes, it’s pretty scary to think about a WWII scenario with Jewish talent on the German side...

Maybe if Germans had not wasted their engineering efforts on idiotic “superweapons” like the Schwerer Gustav [0] or the 130m long V-3 cannon [1], they could have succeeded with their nuclear program. [0] https://en.m.wikipedia.or

My car has 18” rims with Continental tires. This is about as related to the comment above, as yours. (By the way, the death toll of Mao’s cultural revolution clocks in around 50 million.)

Well, if you EE guys would finally got off your high horses and dropped Verilog in favor of JavaScript, we wouldn’t have this kind of problem!!!

That’s absolutely correct. I get it now, that you meant the “pointer to the vtable” under “vtable” in your original post.

>This is one way that rust is different than C++; the vtable isn’t stored with the data Which “data” is the vtable stored with in C++? An object contains only a pointer to its vtable, not the vtable itself...

Sorry, but we need a Turing-complete language for ads and tracking. Preferably with JITting, and unfettered access to the GPU and other misc. peripherals like GPS, webcam, etc. In return you get free cat videos. You’re welcome.

There's no such thing as an anonymous cellphone call. Period. If you want to report organized crime that involves the upper echelons of power, don't use cellphones at all .

It is related. When rocks cool, crystals start to grow from multiple seeds because of thermal/chemical impurities. If the material is sufficiently homogenous in composition and temperature, then the crystals from different seeds will g
