I think I have found my soulmate :) Every crash cuts deep if it doesn't resume correctly.

This is a very entertaining hobby to have. Wishing you a lot of fun. Next stop, making sundials and reading astrolabe. I was so surprised to know that Chaucer had such interest in the workings of an A…

It would be good to link the Masters thesis too. I looked for it but could not find.

That makes atleast two of us. Where I live, they festoon a few of these on Christmas in addition to the more traditional five pointed star. I have always wondered whether it had easy enough net. The I…

An under-armed ball is essentially un-hitable. The sporting thing to do is to give the batsman a chance to score but to defeat him using skill. There is no skill in bowling and underarm ball, the bats…

Anyone remembers Ross technologies ? When I was a student mucking around the trashed corner of a retired hardware room, I found a very dusty box that looked promising. It was a Ross hyperstation. I w…

And in these neck of the woods man is a short for manual. Funny name.

So sorry to hear that. I know neither you nor her, but no one ought to go through that. I hope you are doing well. Best wishes

When linked with transfig their is a whole lot of file format it supports. Most distributions will package them together. https://linux.die.net/man/1/transfig …

Tikz by hand for busy diagrams can be a whole lot of work. What I loved about Xfig was that one could use latex and latex fonts in the diagrams.

Is their anyone here old enough to remember Xfig ? I was quite proud of the hours of work I had put in to configure it just so, with the 3d look and all.

Like these siblings ? https://youtu.be/nMNLrQW7_pU

Varies by personality too.

There is nothing wrong in using generating functions. A very handy and powerful tool. I wish I was better at it than I am. It is a common experience in mathematical problem solving that the first solu…

I hope everyone gets it that it is sarcasm, painful as it is.

Got you.

@chinjut yes you are exactly right about sum to 1 bit. For a moment I had got distracted by the exponential between Lie group and algebra.

> I don't care about proofs or theoretically problematic corner cases that "real mathematics" seems to be almost exclusively interested in. That is a rather strange take for a softwa…

> Eventually, I suspect we will replace most PIDs with a small neural network for almost all industrial applications With or without serverless lambda architecture bitcoins ?

Maybe that's my missing link for https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48619191 You probably know this, but this is one way to generalize beyond 2D https://en.wikipedia…

There was only the need for the point on the bisector (on the unit circle). There was no need for the magnitude of the angle. The only thing that needed care was which sign of the sqrt bisects the in…

I agree with you on three dimensional vector products. It's too special, too cute and doesn't generalize to all dimensions, and as you said, you have to keep track of the two types of vector…

Yeah you can have a lighter work desk that way. You bring in the heavy tools later.

META: Pulling this out of its original context because I think more readers would find the code amusing. I am breaking the rules, but hopefully for a good/pardonable reason. > Most of the time…
