    This is not general to all subjects in Danish universities. I studied physics in Denmark and while the majority of my exams after the second year match this description (though not…

    Lethal self defense?

    How is it even possible that we've reached a point where "yes, this is obvious and pretty unsurprising" is the default response to spying on an industrial scale.

    I believe this might be slightly imprecise also. The traceback is actually shown based on the last-thrown exception (that thrown from the finally in this example), but includes the…

    My version of Firefox (146.0 on Debian) has exactly this. If I select a sentence and right-click, I get the menu item "Translate selection to ". In the resulting box, I can change …

    The tokenization can represent uncommon words with multiple tokens. Inputting your example on https://platform.openai.com/tokenizer (GPT-4o) gives me (tokens separated by "|"): low…

    It's kind of fun to compare this formulation with the seemingly contradictory official arXiv argument for submitting the TeX source [1]: > 1. TeX has many advantages that make it i…

    That would (mostly if not always) work in the sense of reproducing the layout of the pages, but would defeat the purpose of preserving the semantic information present in the TeX f…

    Why have you failed though? Is the point to try to deceive people to think that XKCD actually published something else? Why not modify the xkcd one without hinding the fact that yo…

    What defines private sites, I wonder – beyond "such as local IP addresses like 192.168.0.1, single-label hostnames, and shortlinks like intranet/"?

    This made me think of Microsoft's MarkItDown tool/library [1] which seems to have quite the overlap in supported file formats [2,3] and conversion options [4]. I couldn't find any …

    Then you've just traded that for lock-in to Cursor, no?

    pdfjam [1] uses a LaTeX package under the hood, is included with the TeX Live distribution and acts as a wrapper for a LaTeX package. With this, I believe your example would be: pd…

    Fortunately, it's pretty simple to test. $ printf 'Line with EOL\nLine without EOL' | grep 'EOL$' Line with EOL Line without EOL $ grep --version | head -n1 grep (GNU grep) 3.8

    I was curious, so I looked up arc in the PostScript Language Reference [1]. It contains the following (p. 530): > The arc is represented internally by one or more cubic Bézier curv…

    I'm not sure that fully explains it here. I see more relevant search results below the "People also watched" section (just checked now). Further down, there is also "For you" and "…
