If you have tons of datapoints, one cool trick is to do intensity modulation of the graph instead of simple "binary" display. Basically for each pixel you'd count how many datapoints it covers and map that value to color&#x2F

I realize that it would be somewhat antithetical for markdown, but I increasingly feel that length-prefixing everything makes lot of stuff easier at pretty low cost. Anything depending on delimiters or start/end tags inevitably ends up

But it's all relative, all reference frames are different and relative from each other and there is no one reference frame that is somehow special. TBD runs unevenly relative to UTC as much as UTC runs unevenly relative to TBD.

But red delicious is still definitely apple. I can definitely understand why someone would not prefer red delicious apples or iceberg lettuce, but that is quite different from claiming that iceberg lettuce isn't really a lettuce.

The thing that is unintuitive to me is the timeline and scale. The age of universe is 13.8B years and age of Earth is 4.5B years. And yet Earth has many of these elements in abundance which are produced by complex chains and in trace quanti

Looking at the map there is local maxima in Europe somewhere near Lviv (western ukraine). Does anyone know if that point is noted somehow anywhere? Or even more specifically where it is, the map is not very detailed.

CRT shaders are a rabbit hole. Retro gaming/emulator community has been iterating on them for a while now. Found this blog post with tons of comparisons between different shaders in different configurations: https://thingsip
