It has been argued before [0] that Leibniz notation being embraced in mainland Europe and not adopted in England/UK was the reason England fell about a century behind. First heard of this in MIT Calc undergrad course on YouTube, but wo

Neither did I, until I got this lovely idiot who's probably bipolar and probably on the spectrum. They're motivated by food, yes; and we're motivated by unconditional love.

Not sure if GP meant the math for just the trains bit. There is an increase in handling, and everytime the container changes hands, it's going to cost (assuming dearly). First the ship has to berth (cost), unloaded using QC gantry (cos

There was also IMP/Horde and these days we have rainloop too.

I echo GPs thoughts. I use a VPS with syncthing. While that is also clunky, it works for my usecase while keeping multiple redundant copies across devices.

When buying an expensive (relatively) computer was a big deal in my house, I had a hard time convincing my dad about the iBook G3 which didn't come with a floppy drive. Apple has been at it since the dawn of time.

I might be wrong, but VSCode didn't work (for me) on 13.x and I ran across a few forum posts for others who couldn't get it done either. I had very little time to figure out the right "distro", and VSCode was a requireme

1. Servers, I'm partial to openBSD because of a saner IMO /etc and works-out-of-the-box (for me). My coworker is the more freebsd kind and since he does the work, his opinion prevails. 2. I moved houses 3 days ago. Had installed M

I stand corrected. It was just about time, considering there was a jestful tricking the developer of relayd to reprogram it to httpd. IIRC he got epic tricked into it! In the sense he didn't even know he was making a webserver until he

Not sure about now, but at least a couple of years ago it didn't support SNI either. What I love about openBSD documentation is that if it's not there in the docs, one can be sure that it doesn't exist.

Exactly, even large textfile based DNS servers have capability to "compile" the textfile to a db file for faster access.

Thank you! That would be me. I am clueless on amd64 on how to speed up the boot process and maybe change a few fonts during boot. I understand the reasons for no "how-tos". But sometimes they make sense for people like me. I would

I am not a programmer (yet). I am an openBSD fanboy. I've read stories of people reading the code and raving about the quality. It does tick 2 of the checkboxes you mentioned (not just one person). Does this qualify?

Vulkan seems to be incomplete. Graphics drivers for Nvidia are a problem due to the project not accepting blobs, not signing NDAs. And today I had a problem installing matplotlib (ninja gave some error). AFAIK, tensorflow and/or python

Since a lot of people are talking about themselves so openly, I feel a compulsion too. I hide behind perfection. Learning maths, programming, sports, health. Of course I need a perfect OS, perfect programming paradigm, perfect book, the bes

My first reaction to your comment was that it was probably missing a "/s" at the end. Rationale - I last did HTML when Netscape Navigator/ Communicator was still around. IIRC, usual discussion among us college students w

I have a slightly orthogonal take. I am not a programmer (yet). A long time ago, I wanted to get into photography. I researched equipment, effects, lighting, etc. Then I happened upon a blog run by a photographer. His advice - Are you crea

I am a history enthusiast. I have a reason to believe this belief by populations in untruths is short term (I'd define it as <50 years, YMMV). Long term chronicling goes beyond short term propoganda. Society eventually (IMO) accepts

A thousand times echoing your sentiment, everyone on this thread seems dismissive, but the webpage linked carries some links which I would want to come back to later. If the source itself is a problem, we wouldn't want to listen to any

Kilian Weinberger's 1st lecture on YouTube. 1956 (or 57) the perceptron was made. The public mood was ecstatic. Generals were dreaming of robot armies, finance world was dreaming of automation, and the whole world was dreaming. 1964 (o

Not my opinion - I saw a compelling video of some prof on reddit a few years ago. His argument went something like this: name the richest businessman from the time of Columbus/ Amerigo. Or a very powerful politician/ socialite? Pr
