This reminded me of Gaussian Processes. You start out with n-dimensional unconstrained (but strongly correlated) gaussians. As soon as constraints (data) are added (mathematically …

Cool. Input to developer: offer gear numbers that are co-prime (or absolute primes) to each other. Results in maximum number of circles until you return to the original point.

… and should be written in R due to conservation laws. :-)

Cool, Thanks. To me, 4-D rotation is completely “unpredictable” or “contraintuitive”, or both. I wonder, you as a developer of that visualization, did you get an intuition for it? …

Many many years ago I played a browser-based online game and I used curl and php for scripting the game. I eventually programmed an alert feature that woke me up (OS X: ‘say “Warni…

10.4 brought Spotlight 10.5 introduced Time Machine 10.6 cleaned everything up and added some stuff like Exchange Support. IMO the peak of Mac OS X. From then on, Focus was put on …

Even worse: Sierra. Ouch. 10 years ago I used to go for every upgrade immediately (even .0’s). IMO new versions since maybe 10.8 added mostly data collecting bloat. macOS moved far…

hehe, did the same, although not with +, but using a catch-all feature of the provider. I still get a lot of spam and phishing attempts on my „dropbox@ “ address. I faintly remembe…

I fully agree with the article. One thing not mentioned, however probably assumed to be given: domain knowledge. A domain expert using simple methods will probably beat any decent …

I‘m reluctant to change over from TextWrangler to BBedit due to fear of loosing those unsaved „Untitled text 461“ documents. Does anyone now if BBedit restores TextWrangler‘s untit…

Interesting article and discussion. I always wondered how the focusing actually works. It happens „automatically“, but what is involved? Are all cone types used for the focusing, o…

Has anyone tried to pipe ascii star wars through it?

Do you have by chance instructions on how you put sierra in a VM? Which VM product do you use and how is the performance (especially GUI responsiveness)?

Fully agree. And it still tells me that my iPhone setup is incomplete because I haven't set up Apple Pay yet.

When looking at the clustering, I'm asking myself if a density -based clustering algorithm (looking at you DB-Scan) would be also interesting. While loosing the "center color" info…

Do macOS guests also work on macOS hosts in QEMU/KVM? (e.g. run 10.12 Sierra inside qemu on a 10.14 Mojave host) if True: any Link to a tutorial? What about performance? Is it enou…

I can't find any information on the following questions: Are all past versions of OS X / Apple Mail affected? For what OS X Version does Apple provide a security update regarding t…

Cool. Has anyone tried to enter 1 barn-megaparsec [1] ? [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_humorous_units_of_meas...

"This Destroys the RSA Cryptosystem.” is a strong claim. I only have very base knowledge of RSA cryptosystems, integer factorization and the like. Especially I'm not into the math …

The used coolant mainly infleunces these numbers. check chart on: https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Coefficient-of-performan...

I'm not sure I understand the principle. A heat pump achieves a COP (coefficient of performance) of approx. 3-4 (e.g. by investing 1 kWh of electricity, a heat pump generates 3-4 k…

A possible extension to the article would be to also include the project manager and compare to the product owner. For many people, they are the same. For me, the focus of the two …

One dark pattern I especially hate is the "cookie consent dark pattern" that shows up nearly everywhere since GDPR. Usually the option to accept all cookies is highlighted in a nic…

Isn't Vulkan just the new name for the efforts that historically went into OpenGL?

Eehm. What is the actual difference between the MBA M1 and the MBP 13 M1? (except the latter is thicker?) Checked the compareison and didn‘t find anything substantial...
