They also don’t have to act on callables, see @dataclass for instance.

I understand and agree with your sentiment, but just don't buy the uni-tasker type lego. They make plenty of sets where most if not all of the parts are general and can be used for undirected play.

I’m up voting because I want to hear this side of the argument. I guess your point is that most people’s experience isn’t that bad, and they owe their parents. Sure, so it can just be a matter of balancing how they treat you and your family

It’s relatively expensive, depends on your income level. Chicken beef and goat are common. Folks in the country have better access than in the cities.

Threadrippers are not really 'workstation' CPUs, they are HEDT CPUs. More Apples-to-Apples would be to compare to EPYC CPUs.

Same here. Dataclasses and type annotations are fantastic, not to mention f-strings.

tried this outside of QGIS? pip install rasterio, etc. We heavily use GDAL/rasterio/numpy at work with no real problems.

Google's 3D models are based on aerial imagery, which is higher resolution, and suffers from much less atmospheric interference.

Ha, Dr. Blecher's webpage on HN! That's great. I did my PhD in math, in large part because I enjoyed his class on advanced linear algebra so much, and later on real and functional analysis.

really cool. It looks pretty close to the ideas behind seismic imaging. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflection_seismology

I generally agree with your sentiment. I think there's an important distinction to add. By and large, people don't fully expect their mobile devices to be general purpose computing machines in the same way that their PCs are. What

Plus you can listen to or watch the video while doing otherwise mindless stuff like household chores.

I find it really depressing that the only business model that seems to work online is ads. Paying for things by ads is so convoluted and distorting. There should really be a open micro-payments systems. I absolutely don't mind paying $

I find it odd that there's no universal system for blocking calls from specific numbers. I'm guessing you could implement a spam filter, so Harassment/telemarketing wouldn't be a problem.

Strictly speaking, math it self isn't intended to reflect reality. It's just logical system together with some initial axioms. But it does happen to model reality very well, given the right interpretations.

Does anyone know why they don't use more modern directional representation systems, like curvelets, or shearlets? My understanding is that they provide optimally sparse representation of this type of data - data that's smooth exce

Do you honestly believe that the people advocating alternative plans (low carb, etc) don't understand this argument? Why just keep on repeating it?

Wouldn't this violate the dmca? If it's not something people can get with minimal effort, then millions of people are not going to use it. The ad-blocking plugins are so successful because their so easy to get. If something's

Well on an electric car you can precisely control the torque output, so put a strain/torque gage on the drive train and include those in a feedback loop.

That would be a fun project. If you can digitize the graph reliably, you can then take the discrete Fourier transform of the data, apply some denoising/thresholding to extract the main components. This would tell you if you're loo

That doesn't sound so bad. I wonder if the process could be made to work with salt water.
