Personally I'm not much of a fan of assert()'s... at least in the language I use the most (C++). It's not that I don't think you should validate the input ranges of parameters to f…

Yup. The goal was guide rails.... it'll still let you do non optimal things... just not totally illegal things. Hopefully if you do it enough you can take the guide rails off and s…

Yes. PR's would be welcome on the core math engine.

My goal is to build it up to Calculus.

It uses https://capacitorjs.com/ and I'm super happy with this choice. I think it feels fast simply because solving simple algebra problems is very light work these days (and of co…

I updated the underlying engine (and its live on the web version here: https://dicroce.github.io/wyrm/home.html ). There is some new powers examples in the drop down. Irrational ro…

I'm adding at least basic support for random practice problems in the release I'll be dropping in a few days. If I can get to it I may also be adding a more gamified "practice" mod…

Yeah I added the popup that appears when you hover as a means of trying to counteract this. I'll be looking for more ways to communicate this.

This is actually a great find. I update the engine and the change is live on the web version. I will probably wait a couple of days on updating the mobile apps to see if any more f…

I will definitely consider using more color... hmm...

The underlying math engine is written in typescript and is open source: https://github.com/dicroce/wyrm_math Probably it's most important feature for applications like this is that…

This is the approach I was wondering about.

There is a mobile game called DragonBox. It sort of tricks you into learning algebra by starting with very abstract manipulations of a puzzle that must follow rules... gradually th…

These are the last days of software. Use the AI's and build cool shit NOW.

If you know about the distribution of keys you can do even better by factoring that knowledge into where you split.

This is actually pretty incredible. Cannot really argue against the productivity in this case.

Lego blocks are how I like to think about software components... They may not be the perfect shape you need but you can iterate fast. In fact my favorite software development model…

Ok, maybe someone here can clear this up for me. My understanding of B+tree's is that they are good for implementing indexes on disk because the fanout reduces disk seeks... what I…

Exactly my thoughts.

They should have used HLS. Its still pulling, and the client controls the downshifts if required...

Isn't it just kinda a natural thing once you have the chain rule?

Most of us that are somewhat into the tech behind AI know that it's all based on simple matrix math... and anyone can do that... So "inevitibalism" is how we sound because we see t…

Integrating my time series database ( https://github.com/dicroce/nanots ) as the underlying storage engine in my video surveillance system, and the performance is glorious. Next up…

eye wateringly fast. :)
