On duckduckgo, the apple vision query only returns 3/8 results actually from hackernews. (I myself prefer using the native HN search / duckduckgo bangs, because it can sort by date and shows the comment count for each thread).

Sounds like something Chuck Tingle would write.

Maybe theyre talking about NaN?Comparing against NaN return false. That doesn't violate transitivity, but it can confuse many sorting algorithms.

I'm slightly bothered that the numbers don't have the same number of digits. The rows are not perfectly aligned!

For starters it becomes harder to find martian life. The earth life could kill the martian life before we get a chance to find it. Also, if the experiments detect signs of life, we won't be able to know if it's from martian life o

They're arguing that the USA doesn't do that, but should.

Authoring Latex documents. I want a non-browser alternative to Overleaf. When the paper is close to done, me and my colleague are on voice call, editing the same file. But we both want to be able to compile it to PDF, to be able to see the

I was particularly looking for collaborative editing; two people editing the same file at once and each has a local copy of the file so they can run the code. Perhaps one could use a normal editor for this if there were some underlying com

Precisely, I'm looking for collaborative editors. Thanks for the suggestion, I hadn't seen this one. Unfortunately, it seems that this plugin only shares the editor window and does not keep a local copy of the files. I was wishing

Looking for collaborative editors in particular. Two people editing at once, on different computers. Each person has their own copy of the file, on disk.

Speaking of Linux, are there any other editors we can use today? I tried to look for one recently but couldn't find anything. (edit: I mean collaborative editors)

It wouldn't run in separate cores but single-threaded can also get some measure of instruction-level parallelism. A CPU can do more than one thing at once by computing the next instruction while it's still writing the result of

After that video, I think I finally get Github Actions.

Last time I tried to add caching to my actions, I spent several hours and still couldn't get it to work properly in the end. I really wonder how many computing hours have been wasted because the default and most likely to work is to no

One thing that I still don't understand about github actions is how much computing power gets wasted downloading and reinstalling the same dependencies over and over. A build that takes a couple of seconds in my local machine can easi

Speaking of which, that book is one of the very few sources I could find that talks about recursive descent error recovery and goes further than panic mode.

To add insult to injury, that 50 char maximum sneaked its way into several syntax highlighting and linting tools, so now my computer is also complaining about my commit messages.

Surprisingly, some compilers can automatically turn that to a loop too! Try it on clang and gcc :)

Lugol's iodine is usually not recommended because a single drop has dozens of times the daily recommended dose of iodine. That can cause bad side effects (as discussed in the article)

It was widespread but has always been particularly worse in inland mountainous regions. To this day, efforts remain to eliminate iodine deficiency worldwide. Maps with goiter prevalence can be found on the WHO's website: https:/&

I-131 also has some interesting history as the very first application of radioactive isotopes in a medical setting. It's used to treat hyperthyroidism and thyroid cancer.

I'd assume that the null-hypothesis is that it's unrelated. The most common cause of hypo is Hashimoto's thyroiditis, an autoimmune condition. More likely to appear the older you get.

The thyroid is by far the largest consumer of iodine. It stores iodine in thyroglobulin, which is the precursor to thyroid hormone. I don't know the numbers, but I wouldn't be surprised if the thyroid released more iodine by break
