   Hi! This is a small blog post I wrote about the numerical simulation of ice sheets using the open-source SICOPOLIS model. It's an executable (Python) notebook if you want to run it yourself, available on my GitHub [1]. It's not to

   I've been finding Typst a great tool for ~90% of my use-cases — in the other 10%, I'll still reach for LaTeX for the extra power (tikz, pdf images, tagged pdfs (!) (this is becoming more and more of a requirement when publishing&

   Looks like the comparison is between tracing garbage collection & reference counting, both of which could be said to belong to the broader category of "garbage collection" algorithms. I do agree tho that it's confusing

   That's to make sure the generated .jl file executes correctly (since that does still run in a linear fashion). It doesn't correspond to the cells index; moving a cell does not change the exported .jl file.

   With all due respect, you probably know more about software than plumbing, maybe leading you to simplify a bit. Because the same logic could be applied to plumbing, but any plumber might see more variables, the way you do with software.

   Did you even read the article? People can handle the "simple core concepts of CSS" just fine - you're interjecting your own pessimistic opinion here & passing it off as fact. No, the article states how the abstraction of

   I'd suggest just learning and applying fp principles in JS incrementally. You'll feel a bit constrained at first (in part b/c JS allows you to do many "dirty" things), but you'll end up writing better code. Try

    I live somewhat near Baarle-Hertog. Normally, there's no real issues with the enclaves, since both Belgium and the Netherlands are in the EU. But the coronavirus has caused national policy to differ, with the funniest example being: sh

    And they've tried once more, by making Meets free for individuals. I loved Hangouts (& still do!), esp the plugins. I don't get their drive towards fragmentation, honestly

    I think the tagline is misleading, especially the part that says "Now climate change is threatening to flood it completely". The example they use (of Noorderwaard being "given back to the water") is a result of the &quot

    I'm a huge fan of http://openmusictheory.com/ . It's succinct, comprehensive and utilizes examples where relevant (such as songs through embedded vimeo players - not exactly revolutionary, but it's something a
