Thanks for answering, and good luck with your book!

From a quick look at the site and a quick look at perkeep's site, both projects look quite similar. Could anyone with some experience comment on their differences?

Could you explain a bit what kind of evidence he shows? This contradicts what I've always listened, which is that the ideal amount of sleep varies between people.

If you have a number of key combos you normally use, you just put that in a layer. You could make Mod2 + Home row = shift + cmd + F-keys, Mod3 + Home row = F-keys, Mod4 + Home row = cmd + F-keys, and so on. It would require some work to pro

There is no need to initialize variables with -v. You could just do: awk '/Time/{printf("%d %s ", ++j, $3)} ...

Elevators with a 0 are very common, at least in some countries. And -1 for the garage.

I'm quite excited about vector instructions. The approach used in RISC-V is very refreshing coming from SIMD. But I would not expect an instant impact from a user point of view.

Because, obviously, everyone wants to be the RISC raspberry. Becoming the expensive-alternative-to-raspberry-nobody-knows-about is not so attractive. Moreover, it looks to me like these cheap boards are not lacking features. What would you

It may be difficult to evolve, but it should be possible.

The problem is that this already is a commercial race. As long as there are producers who do not care about emissios making cheap steel, winning the green race will only be a consolation prize.

Expressing gratitude and accepting compliments are nice skills to have, but making of it a public show is just bad taste, IMO.

I completely disagree with your comment. Learning for the sake of learning is great, and "homework problems" are an excellent way to achieve that goal. It's not a waste of time. Profit is not always about making money, there

It happens with everything: markets, politicians, unions, revolutions... It's easy to find bad (really bad!) precedents which affect lots of people and this creates very strong opinions. Although I agree it is sad, it's also very

That really depends on the particular policeman you find. Once I was having lunch with some friends in a park and one of us was drinking a beer can. We were alone there and, certainly, not causing any problem. The police approached us and f

It's not an article, but an interview. And the interviewee clearly claims that his intention is to start a public debate. You can call it ridiculous and stupid all you want but, looking at this thread, it obviously is working.

The police can fine you for drinking a beer in a park in most cities. I am not sure about Amsterdam, but you can get into problems with the police for drinking in Rotterdam, for example.

How do you define expressiveness to arrive to that conclusion?

by yiyus 6y ago
Fair enough. I have seen some comments (not in this thread, it was some time ago) that suggested that DFs allow the same as GA in practice, and everything GA does is adding an unnecessary geometric product, but exterior products should be e

To be honest, my question is much more practical, and much naiver too. I work with people who use Euler angles to express rotations, and it's a horrible world. I learned quaternions in my day, and there are some obvious advantages. Whe

by yiyus 6y ago
You can easily define it, that's what I meant saying that you can do the same things in practice, but it's not usually defined (at least in the books and articles I've read), and certainly it is not so ubiquitous as in DFs te

It would only imply that if the tangent was a linear function of the angle, but it is not.

This "competition" between geometric algebra and differential forms makes me uncomfortable. As far as I see (and I'm not an expert), they are just different ways to express very similar concepts. They are still not exactly th

That's not right. 1 is different to half the sum of 0 and infinity. Another way to look at it is that infinity minus one is larger than one minus zero (which can be easily proven using the basic definitions used to define the surreals)
