I started on the Project Euler problems years ago, and like most naive coders I took the brute force route. After discovering the problems have a deeper mathematical basis I decided to start again and learn some math.…
I prefer EPUB for most ebooks, but maths books work far better in PDF because mathematical notation gets turned into image files in an EPUB and don't render nearly as nicely.
Aside from a moral basis for disagreement, a great number of people do not seem to be able to argue logically, or even civilly. That's nothing new, but I think the ease with which people can get a dose of outrage or…
I took up mountain biking more seriously two years ago when I was 44. I wondered about the same question you did last year and found similar answers. You're never too old.
Ah, iron and copper... 2017 is the year I was completely addicted to Factorio. It's not assembly, though you can program things with logical combinators, it's more like complete systems engineering.
Indeed. It brings space v time to the fore as you're "ricering" your solutions, and elegance v maximised kludge.
Yep, I was running a beaglebone black doing basic network services from the USB port on my DSL router! Very handy.
The fear is that capital will own all the means of production and services and what then of everyone else? Hope UBI is implement? Or perhaps become more self-sufficient? The hype around 3D printing seems to have died…
"Meta" would be a good name.
I stopped after 'Print the relative file paths, one path per line for all files that start with "access.log" in the current directory.' It didn't like my BSD find options.
Sometimes it's a good thing. Often it gives me a few moments to pause and realise I really didn't need to read that article anyway.
It will require a massive change of mindset. The hard question is how to achieve it in a fair way. There has always been a tension between the freedom of the individual and what's best for society and more broadly all…
The best exercise, for myself, for the "RSI" (tendinosis most likely) in my right forearm is archery with recurve and longbow in particular, not so much with compound. Any pain I have in it is halved, and it feels much…
To believe in objective morality you've departed from the realm of Empiricism. One could argue that by appealing to the supernatural one has also departed from the realm of Empiricism.
I think what you are trying to say, or what you want to believe, is that for morality to be objective it needs a coercive power behind it. I'm surprised no one has brought up law as an analogy. There is seemingly no…
