I get why it is interesting and useful to write complex numbers in '+' notation rather than the conventional way to denote a 2d vector, like a tuple of components. The benefit is that multip…

An well established alternative to compare against would be Stellarium mobile version. Stellarium mobile version is an app, not a web page and the best way to get it is indeed through play/app st…

Why the hell not ? I still learn a lot from wikipedia. Maybe it's not useful for those who are experts in every thing. I am not one of them.

I have a different view about checking for NULL. I would suggest you keep checking for NULLs. It's a good habit to have to watch over details and to remain cognizant of edge cases. There are tool…

Lol as if on cue to prove you wrong, three teenagers pelting stones at a stray kept inside neighbour's gate, not even an hour ago. Just saw it on security cam footage my neighborhood posted on Fa…

> No biker in Bangalore has time to play kicks and hits with street dogesh Contradicts my observations daily. > You sound like one those "bhadralok" upper class pacifists. No idea what…

I know. That's human fear kicking in and it makes it worse. Try it once, success brings confidence. Your own anxiety around dogs might be making things worse for you. If you search you will find …

Loved this book. https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/62008110-in-a-flight-... "In this enchanting little book, celebrated physicist Giorgio Parisi guides us thr…

Sorry that it happened. I can give some useful tips on handling such a situation. From what I have seen, such incidents cluster into two types i) the dogs have been habitually harassed by bikers, who …

Neat way to validate. Your method of sampling could be improved further, unfortunately at the expense of ease of use. If the dictionary was sorted according to difficulty, then you could use stratifie…

In addition to how much fun it was, it has potential pedagogic value for teaching sampling based estimation. It would have paired well with an exposition of vanilla Monte Carlo and the benefits of str…

Oh! I did not know that. So crazy.

Lol hyperbole much. It is usually (i) anxiety triggered over reactions on the part of humans or worse, plain abusive behavior (ii) such as kicking, beating the dogs or driving/riding dangerously.…

> and stray dogs Absolutely yes. Properly vaccinated and properly treated they can be part of the fauna of the city. Man and dogs have befriended and helped each other for tens of thousands of year…

I think it is confusing me for someone else. It is probably typo-correcting my handle to something else. Apparently I have lots to say about terraform, kubernetes and docker. I certainly don't :)…

Yeah but how do we know there distances accurately

I sort of agree with its assesment. Recency bias is a bit strong. It did suddenly worsen though. I was checking if it's assesment was deterministic or not.

Appreciate your reply. The only criticism of Belgium that I have heard are the horrors of colonialism under Leopold. Its a picturesque country.

I see.

There is also SageMath and Mathics. Not replacements but close.

I have not looked at the implementation but isn't the idea to write a Lispy language in Rust (in other words, Mathematica the language ) and then write the differentiation and other routines in …

LoL. Political parties are very good at making elections about manufactured issues. They strategically polarize the voters by amplifying and creating fault lines within the society. If what you say is…

Mail dang at hn@crowycombinator.ravencom they clear it up quickly. Remove the corvids.

Please make an HN post out of your generative bad hand writing. Very cool.

Very beautiful. I am a complete newbie, so I might be asking about something obvious -- does anyone know how some of these would relate to plotting random Polya vector fields ? For example, one can ta…
