I feel like if the logic in git were just a bit more sophisticated, many of these issues wouldn't even arise. Most of these are because someone foolishly (usually me) merged in the wrong direction for convenience's…
These days, I am leaning heavily on Claude to deal with all the git issues that I never wanted to be bothered with. A rebase that can't just fast-forward? That's a job for Claude. A merge conflict that really shouldn't…
Former Google employee here. This is exactly the kind of shit-for-brains action I'd expect from Google executives. Bravo on further dragging your image through the mud.
This article captures so much of what I have felt but been unable to put into words about GA. I come from a computational physics background, and when translating theory into numerical algorithms, the dimensional…
I wouldn't trust any engineers I know of with their "taste". At best it's a highly skewed view of the world. At worst, it's outright opposite to genpop.
You missed the best part: analyzing what to do around knots. There's a skill and artistry to it. Those who are good at it make it look absolutely effortless: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsIFvStf9Oz99GMitW4vD_g
DABM writes everything in MS Word.
Optical engineer here. This is what they don't tell you about continuous/transition/progressive bifocals: optically they don't work. The lens design is an overconstrained optimization problem and the solutions they come…
Does this use integer coordinates or floating point coordinates?
Add to that that they are (at least perceived to be) supporting AI, which the majority of people do not want, and data centers are physical faceless embodiments of big tech corporations, which people are increasingly…
Yes. I see the 6 and I think: pretty tall, just a bit taller than me as a baseline. Then the 3 indicates another bit more. At no point am I adding the quantities to achieve a total. It’s two pieces of information in…
I strive for a “simple” lifestyle not because I believe it will be enjoyable. Quite the opposite. A simple lifestyle is much more laborious, arduous, and mentally taxing in terms of all the minutiae I need to worry…
Because I don't want to deal with a hundred of anything, and I don't want to deal with decimal points. I want everything I measure to be near single digit numbers. Hence, inches for common dimensions like a "2x4". I can…
This is really neat, and I think I can use it in some of my projects as a simple front end to physical simulation tools. One question I have: do you have true 3D bindings? I see there is ImPlot3D, but right now I need…
This is the single reason I have not upgraded from OS 12.x. Postscript is key to many of my workflows.
Yes
And anyone implementing numerical algorithms is thankful for the tremendous amount of thought put into the fp spec. The complexity is worth it and makes the code much safer.
Perhaps the solution is to rethink the role of the fridge in the kitchen. It could be designed to be a part of a kitchen island, or have cabinets placed above it. In conventional kitchens, a chest does not make sense.…
My house is plastered, and it is substantially more soundproofed than drywalled houses in the neighborhood. It is not a function of the construction method, since my house is stick framed just like my neighbors.
Perhaps he should reflect on why they deserve this violence, instead of giving people more reason for violence against him.
I have had a similar experience; my preferred material to work with is wood. However, as I got more into tinkering with electronics and vintage computing, I'm finding more instances where wood does not achieve…
I was in the room and personally witnessed that. It definitely changed my opinion of him and not in a good way.
My extremely out of date never updated site: http://victorliu.info My also out of date but slightly less so page: https://victorliu.neocities.org Maybe now I will be inspired to actually update these.
When sorting eigenpairs of a dense matrix, usually tou end up with a Schur decomposition. The basic operation that you can do is swap two adjacent eigenvalues on the diagonal, so bubblesort is a natural candidate.
We are constantly losing technology as the treadmill of technological progress continues. Casette tapes, CRT displays, and perhaps photographic film are some examples. One can argue that there are "strictly better"…
