I have a Focusrite Saffire that has lots of nice, quiet preamps and ADC channels. I managed to get an old Mac to connect over FireWire and using the Focusrite Control app, I config…

It should land in 3.15, so October next year. https://peps.python.org/pep-0790/

I've been wondering for a while if a program could "learn" covariance somehow. Through real-world usage. Otherwise, it feels to me that it'd be consistently wrong to model the vari…

If we assume no conspiracy, what's the sentencing like for perjury due to carelessness?

Google do have an API for this. It has limits but perfectly good for personal use. https://developers.google.com/custom-search/v1/overview

Beautifully put.

Pretty fascinating from an information theory point of view. Surprising that it works at all. Is this, like, the JPEG of uniformly distributed, uncorrelated data?

I came across this page in a discussion about dithering. It was posted by @rikroots. Fascinating stuff. I love to see the application of the 2D Fourier transform for analysis. Adde…

Hahaha. We used to get desyncs on networked games of Generals pretty regularly. I remember if a game took more than 30-40 mins I'd start to get a spidey sense things were about to …

Yeah, 'everything' as in 'everything that the model cares about' :)

Nice workaround. I just wish there was a less 'lossy' way to go about it!

Interesting, but your hypothesis assumes that 'tone' is one-dimensional, that there is a single axis you can remove. I think tone is very multidimensional, I'd expect to be removin…

The thing that puzzles me about embeddings is that they're so untargeted, they represent everything about the input string. Is there a method for dimensionality reduction of embedd…

The touchscreen might be better than you're giving it credit for. Direct interaction (vs the indirectness of mice, keyboards, gesture) is one benefit that I can't see done better a…

Biggest functional difference is that Vue's reactivity is built on Proxy objects, which lets you simply bind your view layer to your model layer and things just keep in sync, witho…

I've been thinking for a while that digital photos should include a signature derived from a hardware key on each camera. That at least would prevent people lying in metadata, and …

...and a lot of solo developers and academics besides. (I say that as a corporately unaffiliated PyPA member)

I've used xterm.js for this, but I was already in a webview. It's pretty good, might even be worth the webview for https://github.com/xtermjs/xterm.js Used by vscode among others

If a project is really mature, reusable components in design tools can work. But for early stage stuff, they can quickly prove more trouble than they're worth. The designer's job i…

Figma made a mistake including the absolute positioning in their Dev mode. It's never useful, and leads to confused engineers like this. Figma is a design tool. It is used by desig…

This is awesome! I noticed on the 'Experimenting with lines' section, when smoothness is low, warp is high and length is high, that the lines end up mostly coalescing into big road…

This is confusing. The response to a raw Ethernet frame is JSON containing "https_response" Why drop down to a layer 1 Ethernet frame when the response is specific to HTTP?
