There is UnicodeMath[1], which was developed by Microsoft and is the default representation used by the Word equation editor. It looks like this: e=lim┬(n→∞)⁡(1+1/n)^n f(x)=∑_(k=-∞)^∞〖c_n e^(ⅈkx)〗 ∫_(-∞)^(+∞)〖exp⁡(-a/2 x^2) ⅆx〗=√(

Loved the mini puzzle games. Unfortunately question 27 is basically impossible on mobile devices, I spent way too long on that.

This seems like the perfect way to enable frivolous takedowns, because the accused might not be able to pay the deposit to dispute the claim. Additionally, small artists might similarly become unable to enforce their rights. (And if the dep

I guess this poses the question: Is there a clear boundary between text and icons? And in which cases should icons be handled like characters? Plain symbols within text clearly belong in a font. Logos, on the other hand, are images, not cha

you simply have a tool which extracts the text, transforms it however you please, and then puts it back as an image. Then you still need some way to handle text, and image to text is not reliable. Text simply has so much more distilled i

For everything negative you can say about modern UI patterns like the hamburger menu, lack of discoverability isn‘t one of them imho. You have a single button with an almost-standardized icon, from which you can get an overview of all the (

The difference is quantitative, but multiple magnitudes big: The ratio of impulse to mass is given by the exhaust velocity, and velocities for massive propellants barely reach 0.01% of the speed of light. Thus the thrust can be more than 10

The drone might have streamed the video back to the operator, so it's not a given that the drone survived. Since the photographer knew they were going to take a risky shot, it's not even unlikely. Maybe that's why the footage

I like the solution in this story. At first it sounds like the manager is just working around or “tricking“ the engineer, but the engineer simply gets what he likely wanted in the first place.

Indeed. For most of the article, the conclusion could be "concurrency is hard" instead of "go is harmful".

There is a difference between normal post-production (cropping, defining colors, adjusting brightness, removing noise, ...) and adding details that just aren‘t there in the raw image.

Yes, there is a big difference between how complex something can theoretically be, and how complex the typical use case is. There are two main drawbacks to accidental Turing-completeness: - You can no longer statically analyze the system fo

Well, is there some _specific_ reason to scoff now? I'm not saying that's the case here. Maybe their business is actually a widget. I'm saying that most businesses do far more than you can see from the outside.

It doesn't have to be manipulation. Just a bunch of people and goading each other in a presumed David-against-Goliath "fight", investors trying to predict their and each other's movements, and funds trying to capitalize

"All people lie" is such a dangerous mindset. Of course it's true, if you apply the right semantics. But it's simply faux-philosophical when out of qualifying context. There are many actions which you might call "ly

I also like the name "lateral unit", maybe call the field "planar numbers"?

What you have described is an ideal time crystal. Unfortunately the time crystals we can create in the lab do need an external force, but this force can have a higher frequency than the oscillation of the crystal.

by yccs27 6y ago
I mean, you're technically correct (the best kind of correct). But in the lab, we're pretty safe with neglecting the effects of general relativity.

In some way, it's the inverse: a nonlinear optical system can multiply frequencies, while a time crystal divides a frequency. That's not as easy as multiplying, due to the symmetry concerns I mentioned. It's basically a frequ

by yccs27 6y ago
Unfortunately, time crystals do require an external excitation. The key is that the excitation does not have the same frequency as the time crystal.

Since the article doesn't do a good job of explaining what a time crystal is , here's my attempt at summarizing the Wikipedia article [0]. Normally, a system which is driven by an external frequency oscillates at the same, or a m

Normally, a system (like a quartz) which is driven by an external frequency, oscillates at the same or a multiple of the driving frequency. This is because the external conditions are symmetric under a time translation (i.e. a delay) by the

To me, the benefit of defer over try/finally is code locality: You can easily see whether some action has an associated cleanup, because the 'defer' statement is just before/after the action. With try/finally, the c

Nice! Can you please explain to a rookie what the ord('1') is for? Is it just a way of writing a magic number of value 49, or is there some significance to it?

by yccs27 6y ago
Sorry, I don‘t buy your last argument. You could argue the opposite: When a person desires change, they either want it for their personal gain, or have seen the shortcomings of the current system and want change to get rid of them. Yet no s
