It's been a while since I've had to do this so I'd be very happy to hear if the process has become smoother since - does it no longer give you a big warning that you've got a dangerous unpacked extension installed every

In addition to the advantage of explicitly specified capabilities mentioned by others, I'd say a userscript is also much more durable and low-maintenance than a Chrome extension. This is coming from someone who's written an extens

Very cool, I'll definitely be playing around with this some more! Two questions: - How difficult would it be to add many-valued functions to this? It would be really nice to be able to get the full set of [pi/2, pi/2] + n[2 p

There's a story by a guy who did something similar when he was in 2nd grade, and successfully pitched an aardvark plush to a toy company! It always makes me smile whenever it pops up again. https://twitter-thread.com/t&

As others have pointed out, tkinter is just a wrapper around Tk, so the best way to learn more about it is to learn about Tk. The documentation for Tk [1] is fairly comprehensive: for example, the algorithm used by the `pack` command that y

A better way to organise and find papers I've looked at before. For example, being able to ask an LLM "what was that paper again that tried using X to solve Y but ran into some issue" which I vaguely remember skimming a month

There's a few projects that can package a python environment into a single executable (the main tradeoff is you end up including a copy of python with every single executable if you have lots of tools) - when I wanted it to create an i

Of all things, rowing. It's a way to force myself to keep a consistent exercise routine because others depend on me to show up for each session, and given that my club has active members who are decades older than myself, I expect to c

I only gained an appreciation for ruler and compass constructions early in secondary school, at age 7 I'm not sure I could fully understand the beauty of deriving a huge system from axioms. For making Euclid interesting to children, I

Something about the way the text got more and more glitched while keeping the rhythm of the sentences intact made me want to keep reading. I think it managed to create the perfect amount of entropy that makes it feel like there could be a m

In the context of the difference between D# and Eb, 19-TET is very interesting to play around with. It adds an extra black key between every pair of white keys, and most songs intended for 12-TET still work fine, as long as you play sharps
