I guess the illustrations for the article were made with ai - they are all different styles visually. I like it allmost all the way through, gives a nice fuzzy ai edge to the feel, until 55% done then it starts to feel too weird.

it's also possible to get a little better results by cheating a little bit with the error distribution, Ulichneys ξ1 and ξ2 as in "Simple gradient-based error-diffusion method" Journal of Electronic Imaging jul/aug 2016.

absence of signal is not a good indicator of operation. it is the same signal as total failure of your system.

erlangs bit matching syntax, case statements for structs... incredibly elegant. I don't know about Rust or Lua, maybe they have this too.

clearly the author is not hip to The Human Evasion by Celia Green. Those guys were just all OK with choosing a slightly different reality, because the mainstream reality tunnel is also equally flawed, and less interesting Human beings

well, emacs, or terminal usage in general on a mac with the control key not on edge of keyboard is extremely unergonomic. So yay to control in the right place.

The core language is good enough but the object oriented stuff they put on top later on is just a hell of an eyesore.

Sure it takes a while to load and there's bloat, but the bloat is everywhere now. On the bad site of the JVM and assorted Java tools is that they are second class citizens of the unix world. The command arguments are all messed up, muc

OK I got calmer, but then I got stressed out! the blue circle is not in the center of the black ring.

Wow! The center of the maze. Now it's just a matter of time before clojurescript is self hosted and the Eschaton is Immanentized.

well GCD is an evented model and Celery is not so what's your point? Queue and Thread is available in python and work well up to a point. Twisted (and sugar @inlineCallbacks) or similar makes for much more concise code.

Yes, and even within a framework... investing in using for example React for a project and some plugs, come back to project a couple of months later to add some library for let's say graphs, and face need to upgrade every lib/plug

wow, wizardry. it was my favourite game with the dark castle series coming in second. Proving grounds of the mad overlord. I still have it on my SE/30 and on disks. Never did play any of the follow ups.

I have never seen that dialogue. I started to use spotlight before there was internet feature to third party, and have upgraded machine since that.

yep cloud everything... noticed a while ago (after installing little snitch) that anything typed (and pasted?) into OSX ⌘-space search also calls out to the cloud to get suggestions. not cool.

Yes, one of the benefits of Rails most overlooked by it's opponents is how immensely productive it is for small to medium sized apps. This comes from not only the DRY perspective but also from having strong standard ways to do things,

imho python3 fixed the issue in the wrong way, so it will never have a great amount of users: down the road the choice will be upgrade to python3 or choose a more modern programming language like go with immense performance boost. I think p

it's bog-standard and readily available on most platforms. no real need for split screen, either fullscreen web on one workspace and terminal on other or side by side if working on computer with big screen.

by sunkencity 11y ago
All that trouble for nothing. I use xterm and control-z, and fg, one terminal window. If I need to work from more computers than one I use a screen instance that I can detach/attach from the computer happen to be at.

no klein in the actual test data. Pity, it's pretty fast I think. The test framework code for klein is not finished and I guess sqlalchemy won't perform that brilliant atop twisted.

This is the best presentation I have seen in years. Macros are truly the way up if we are to escape the gravity well of calculus for bio chemistry. How else to gain delta v?

I've programmed lots of clojure. But in the end, I am too annoyed by the jvm ecosystem, the good that is clojure doesn't weight up the java crap, so while I love the language, I cannot stand the environment.

not everybody likes the jvm ecosystem.

by sunkencity 12y ago
because the jvm is a pain?
