BEAM very much falls into the same camp as the author's description of Scratch does at the beginning of the article. You have a lot more granular control than Scratch, of course, but it also loosely follows the actor model

Raccoon Tycoon is great for 2-5 and I can’t recommend it enough.

Stan Honey other claim to fame (other than being literally the best yacht navigator, probably ever) was founding Sportsvision, the company that created the yellow 1st down line you see when you watch football on tv.

I keep my rpi in a pelican case that I modified to include an opening port for the NMEA connection. It gets all its power/data from the single connection which has a mechanical connection as well. I have over 5000 nautical miles logged

This is not a strong justification. If you switched out "arabic words and imagery" for say "blackface" would it still hold? There was a time where seeing non-white actors in film would have been considered distracting

This is true but if you add in some game scripts or download specific scenarios and add in the FIRS resource packs (with much more complicated supply chains) it can be quite challenging. My personal favorite was doing 5min city builder blit

Most of all models are resolved in some sort of projected space. It depends on the model (e.g GFS uses an inflated cube, the ICON global from dwd is projected on to an icosahedron, IFS just moves most of the calcs to a spectral space instea

Wouldn’t an allusion to 20th century American poetry fall into the category of “curiosity satisfying”? Given they were not the only person who got the reference it feels kind of arbitrary to say this is frivolous entertainment when another

Dunno why this was downvoted, I came here to make a similar comment about the possible Wallace Steven’s reference.

Obviously every time it starts it becomes so traumatized by the events of the Butlerian Jihad that it simply can’t continue :-p

I wouldn’t discount AMD just yet. They closed quite a big gap in the server cpu market against Intel, most probably due to better leadership and management. I wouldn’t be surprised if they are able to pull that trick a second time with GPUs

I love Elixir! One of the main reasons I haven’t been able to sell it as much was it’s lack of good numerical computational support, but with the release of nx now getting to a very mature point it’s really hard for me to not get excited ab

I'm having issues with it loading in Safari (14.1.2) on OS X, but it seems to be loading fine with Firefox (111.0.1) for me. Its pretty zippy too, and this computer is no spring chicken...

sure anyone can do it, but it takes a lot of computers to do it at a reasonable refresh rate. HRRR is 3km and available for free. no super computers required by the end user. then you can apply what ever AI/statistical downscaling you

I agree, this generally left me feeling skeptical. I know of Luca Delle Monache on the advisory team, through colleagues who have researched under him at Scripps and they spoke highly of him. But yes, there is a lot left to the imagination

I do the same thing, but insist on calling all regular weekends "short weekends" and holiday weekends "regular weekends" or just "weekends". My hope is this catches on and we start thinking of 5 day weeks as &

Probably not, but cruising is likely cheaper than you expect and (if you are currently living in a major US city) significantly cheaper than your current situation. Everyone has different standards of what they consider “liveable” especiall

Yes, usually, but it depends on the country. On top of normal travel visa you also need to make sure your boat is documented from the country of origin and often are required to pay some form of tenporary import fee for the vessel as well.

most objects like this I have passed in the water seem to be made of some sort of painted steel. I think this is a good combination of durability vs economical. I suspect your electronics will go long before anything corrodes away to noth

Yes this was in the Atlantic. I saw quite a few in Bermuda. I’m not sure if they migrate or just live there full time. Either way it was strange and I often wonder how it got there.

One of the most interesting things I ever saw sailing was a singular monarch butterfly in the middle of the gulf-stream about halfway back from bermuda. This was over 300 miles away from any land (including bermuda). It stopped for a very

I think this is a perspective you can only really take with a fair bit of privilege since you continue to state that all of these are choices individual drivers are making. For what its worth I share that privilege to a certain extent in m
