That's only true if the engineers are not allowed to copy/steal from existing designs. There are plenty that are better than GIMP (e.g. Photoshop, Krita, ...). If nothing else, make it easy to build a layer on top so that Photosho

They didn't say "reality must be wrong". They said that their initial hypothesis (that significant changes would be observed after 21 days) is probably wrong, so they implicitly proposed a second hypothesis (that significant

A few years ago, the main advantage was merely that "Sidebery is far less buggy and much more performant than Tree Style Tab". Nowadays, the gap has... widened. The little details matter, but there's big feature differences t

A very interesting property: Knights have odd-even parity, i.e., they attack only opposite colored squares. Pop quiz: How many knights can you place on a board so that they don't attack each other?

Personally, I would prefer the conventional Latin Modern math font instead of Palatino math. Latin Modern is used by: - Wikipedia. - Math.StackExchange. - Nearly all papers, including the ones hosted on arxiv in PDF format. - Nearly a

How would an AGI gain access to an unlimited credit card that immediately gives it remote access to all GPUs in the world?

It's also quite silly that society often credits one guy at the top who supposedly has "incredible vision" and yet would likely fail at explaining even the most basic technical details. And if such a person must be credited,

Neat tricks. Beyond BufWriter (which I'm already using) and multthreading, I'm guessing there's not much to be done to improve my "frece" (a simple CLI frecency-indexed database) tool's performance without maki

Technically impossible since queens cannot materialize out of thin air, except in crazyhouse. Also Rg1+ is a rather pretty attraction/clearance sacrifice/double check/mate-in-2.

Nearly no one inhabits Greenland and Antarctica, which might help explain why the only visible relative increase in Arctic/Antarctic nationalism comes from enthusiastic polar bears and mildly racist penguins. I'm not sure there

The issue isn't possible bias on the part of educated cartographers and differential geometers. It's the bias of the majority, i.e. everyone else, that matters. A vast majority of people in the "Western world" perceive t

From a non-expert's standpoint, Vulkan feels quite unusable and complex.

Ideally, arrays should start at 0.5 -- that is the best compromise. Or maybe start with 0.25, since starting with 0 is three times better than starting with 1.

The main thing I miss in these vi-like browsers is a tab tree sidebar like Sidebery.

I guess JIT type specialization / "monomorphization" might be one way to do it, but I expect that it would be bottlenecked by all the surrounding CPython interpreter stuff. /amateur_two_cents

Replication does not help in managing completely. That's why we use abstractions, even with the problems they have.

For example, it only took 20 years (!!) to stop Ctrl+Q from quitting Firefox on Linux. :) IIRC, a couple of patches did get submitted, but never accepted for unknown reasons.

This happens on Linux too. I was wondering if the weird CPU-hogging flickering was a bug in my compositor (picom) or window manager (i3) or browser (Firefox). Turns out to be a "feature".

The "average color" (or whatever it is) could have been pre-computed server-side rather than tiring out the poor innocent client CPUs.

If IP stops being a thing, we can always invent new laws to replace it such as "impersonation".

With Sidebery (modern alternative to TST), the tab tree is automatically backed up every $time_interval. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-CA/firefox/addon/sidebery/

For a given repository, is it possible to have multiple worktrees for different "branches"? (Just like git worktree.)
