Battlezone and battlezone 2 [0] were great for this. Many hours lost, even if bz2 was a buggy mess on release. It was also one of the first faves to really have a missing community. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ba

The web would be one of the more well known technologies to come out of running collider experiments. More directly a whole lot of medical imaging including PET is only possible because of either isotopes manufactured through colliders or s

I really want people to crowdsource the DMT prime factorisation project. I know at least one person tried but lost interest before they met an elf. It just seems like such a fun experiment to run. Is it possible to recall numbers at all whi

I was also in Kyoto right before the lockdowns for the first time in a decade and it was magical and like it was in my childhood. When I went back a few years ago, I nearly cried; the lovely quiet city of books was so noisy and everyone was

You're missing the bit where he has never studied under a Buddhist master and actively refuses to. Both Chan and Zen are traditions that are characterised by the belief that written works are always flawed and can't contain the ac

For the exploratory stuff I tend to use R in code blocks as I’m familiar with it. Sadly I’ve never really done much with Clojure, though its data capabilities always look very cool, especially datatomic. It’s just always been a bit of a poo

The main thing that I like is that it gives you nice table autocomplete as well as some nice metadata. As well as some connection management stuff. And it drives me mad because I am sure there must be a way to get the psql autocomplete to w

Do you have any resources for your sql workflow in emacs? I use eMacs for everything else, but keep going back to dbeaver whenever I write SQL or interact with PostgreSQL. All the tutorials I’ve turned up seem to be doing simple things with

Did you ever try extending it out to other methods of probability estimation other than the forms of regression? I have only skimmed your excellent article, but I think you are first calculating the average probabilities from a regression m

This is used by a number of betting syndicates. Notable by David Walsh[0] and Zjelko [1]. They knew of and worked with Benter in HK and adapted his system. One of the things that they did was pay large numbers of experts to watch and evalua

Is anyone actively organising against this bill? I feel that ever since the Iraq war protests failed ever time some thing like this happens, people complain a little bit, but don't actually manage to change anything. I was wondering if

Piggybacking of this post, if anyone has any similar resources for best practices in modern C I'd be interested. There don't seem to be any moocs that go beyond introductory material and K&R obviously doesn't cover moder

Yes, MotoGP allows traction control. Like all technical innovations it has led to a change in riders priorities and skills. Some people dislike it, but overall it's not accepted I'd say. Personally I've found it interesting t

Counter steering tips the bike into a corner. Some form of lateral force from the front tire and gravity from the lean angle are responsible for the bike turning. In modern racing the limit on the speed you can carry through a corner is the

Wondering if anyone has any experience using lisp for machine learning? I'm aware of mgl[0], but it seems to be abandoned. The lack any wrappers for tensor flow or caffe is also a bit surprising to me. The cliki page [1] is also unhelp

I presume you are acquainted with Buddhist thought on this matter? One of the central tenants of Buddhist philosophy is the idea that there is no such thing as the self, but rather a linked series of experiences. The Chan and Zen traditions

Thanks again for a great post. Not sure this really adds anything to the conversation, but felt that I should thank you again. For what its worth, I never thought you were dismissive of OOP; your original post seemed rather clear, if rather

Thank you for this, it's really helpful. I couldn't find the C8051C020 at silabs and wondered if you meant the C8051F020 [0] instead. While this was already a long and helpful post I was wondering if you had any plans to elaborate further

This is already true and has been for years. Cereal farmers were some of the earliest adopters of GPS and autonomous vehicles. I remember being at a rural show in the early 90's and CASE had a combine harvester for sale that recorded the g

Dear csomar, Having been in your situation, the things I found helpful for a quick fix were exercise and food. It doesn't matter how much or what. If I am in a slump and feeling like it is all too much I force myself to do some exercise. A
