On the other hand it should be so much easier to port full games to mobile. For example Stacklands is a game that would feel right at home on a iPhone or iPad, but currently it's not an app I can download and play on a bus.

Can we please stop with the "you're not doing X enough" culture? This is in part what leads to burnout and the feeling of being a hamster in a wheel.

I doubt it very much that either Russian war on Ukraine or the US attacking Iran happened due do scarcity of resources. Old folks in power want their page in history books.

could you please point to an example? For my project i'm currently animating matplotlib plots and walk through the video later, but rendering times are quite painful.

thanks for the work, this looks amazing. Have you considered trying numba for acceleration? It's great for number crunching.

It's also a form of reconnaissance. In doing these acts they observe how different actors respond and look for potential weak points.

and the goal for this toeing the line is to spark discussion and disagreement between member states. Article 5 credibility is already at it's lowest point after Vance's speech and the new US security strategy, now isn't just

I believe this is about the perceived switching cost for the masses who, in the US and Europe for example, are predominantly not vegetarian.

I believe that Python is as popular and widely used as it is because it's old enough to have an expansive ecosystem of libraries. It's easy enough to implement one in pure Python and possible to optimize it later (Pydantic is a gr

wouldn't it be enough for the underlying user data to be stored in a well-documented and widely supported format? I don't care if Obsidian, Logseq or similar are open or closed source if my data is just a folder of markdown and jp

I'd like to remind you that Russia is not the USSR. Surely the technology has significantly improved since, but some capabilities are definitely lost. One example is them not being able to build more strategic bombers.

Very impressive work. Was very saddened to see how Ukrainian Kyiv and Kharkiv stations were excluded. We have deep stations (like Arsenal'na at 105m that connects directly to the above-ground Dnipro station on a river bank), we have bo

highly recommend that as well. Disabling history greatly reduced my time spent in the app. UnTrap plugin for Safari helps as well. Can't say that I feel like I spend a reasonable amount of time on the platform still, but now it's

would absolutely love this for a personal note-taking project, but having image support and some sort of auto-completion for commands, lists, tags etc is crucial for something i'd use every day on desktop and mobile. Still love seeing

I've used tmux like that a bunch before discovering process-compose [1]. Still use tmux a lot with remote connections and booting up a few scripts in parallel is still easier with it, but for longer-serving setups p-c has helped a lot

Biden took the approach of keeping 10 pairs of gloves on when dealing with Russia. Don't help too little not to make it too easy for the russians, don't help to much to avoid escalation.

Now every country that has the capacity to get a strategic deterrent will race to get one. So much for Biden's escalation management. Too bad Trump likes Russia so much he does everything not to step on their toes. With a heftier backi

Very true and joining in on the thanks. Did you find a way to download it as a pdf though? I believe it is essential to be able to add notes and references when reading any learning material.

there are still a lot of problems to be solved using "classical" computer vision, especially in systems where you don't have easy access to GPU acceleration. I am a practitioner doing Simultaneous localization and mapping on

Quick reminder that Russia first invaded Ukraine in 2014, before that they invaded Georgia and before that they took Chechnia. And yet even now the popular belief in the West is that the war in Ukraine will be the end of it and that some so

In most of Ukraine that would be called "samohon", which can be translated as "self-brewed" and is an umbrella term for a bunch of liquors similar to those described in the article. Vodka (or "horilka" how it&#

Unlike Europe (which is not a state) or Yugoslavia (which no longer exists), Russia is a country actively trying to expand its borders by force. So using "in russia" as a geographic generalization seems inappropriate to me. Using

it's about the difference between "was" and "is". Sure, a bunch of states were formally parts of the Russian Empire as well as the USSR. That doesn't mean you can reduce them to "it's just Russia&quot

that same kind of thinking encouraged Russia to go on a 3-day march on Kyiv. Ask an average participant of that march how that has gone for them. Oh wait

It is wild, has been since Feb 2022, it's also "the new normal" we really want to get out of. (Not desperately enough to give in tho). Also keep in mind that this is only one of the stressors associated with war. Others inclu
