Hyperion is awesome. Each story could be its own novella but especially the priest's tale. I also loved the consul's tale. I haven't read the rest yet because I am unsure how the story will go without that structure as I wasn

I still have to read Wind and Truth but I'm still waiting for the same paperback edition I have the other books in haha. Great series

I really enjoyed Fezzick and Inigo's chapters. And the Zoo of Death! As I remember, the framing narrative was quite different, something about a screenwriter with some glaring personal issues IIRC. Worth reading if you love the movie,

How is the latency for drawing? I am going to start doing this, but it makes me think, it would be nice to have a way to disable full refresh while drawing, and doing tablet-side drawing over the current VNC frame while the stream is paused

You can also use EXWM in Xephyr, so you can have an emacs window with its own controlled windows instead of replacing the whole DE/window-manager. I suppose this doesn't work with multiple frames though. I have been experimenting

I love it because I have glare/doubling around words. Adding some visual noise can mask my own eye problems, and adding some visual effects with the glowbar and jittering if I feel like it, can really make it easier to focus for some r

Thanks for the link to tmuxinator, I had heard of it but never learned what it does. I think I'd like something like this. But I think this is a case of tmux providing a platform, I think the core idea of tmuxinator could be implemente

I have felt similar, wanting to learn physics sims. I have had to learn over time to separate domains of knowledge like physics from programming tools used to ~manifest them. Especially starting with gamedev, initially it felt like there sh

As latexr said you can disable watch history. This means there is no home page (even when it should have known my interests, my home page was awful so this isn't so bad). You don't get watch-progress memory on videos, which is sim

I love this book so much. The literate programming style I think inspired from Knuth's cweb, great writing, beautiful high-quality physical book worth buying but also free access to knowledge. The literate-programming style means you a

Yay Ben Rady. He has a great podcast with Matt Godbolt (who made Compiler Explorer) called Two's Complement.

I just realised in the above comment I was making a mistake in an analogy to shortest path optimal substructure. In shortest path, starting with an optimal solution, "subproblems" have optimal solutions. This is not true starting

Thanks, it looks like I had forgotten how dynamic programming works, e.g. constructing from possibly all subproblem solutions rather than just some way of breaking into some disjoint union. In this case I guess for code optimization a &quot

Yes I was surprised at that sentence because I think (considering theoretical properties of code size are the same as instruction count) that the main initial reason compiler optimization is non-trivial is because these kinds of global opti

In the article he says "Now, let's say you split the function in two parts and you find their minimums independently", so I am trying to think of what that means. I was thinking something like splitting "func() { ins1; i

Why does optimal substructure work for code size? Couldn't you take a compiled non-minimal function and break each instruction into a function call (with some assumptions about the ISA maybe), then assuming each single-instruction func

Thanks for the pointer to Fourier optics! I mentioned Fourier because it is something I still don't "get" even after studying and using these methods. I am still learning, but I have so far only applied inverse methods to sys
