If it were "the EU", it would be on https://code.europa.eu

You will possibly like Needham's "Visual Differential Geometry and Forms" and even if you don't have much time to study it, it's quite beautiful to look at from time to time.

Segfault provides something similar with a direct ssh connection: https://www.thc.org/segfault/

The book "Robot Builder's Bonanza" is a nice introduction and gets you started on the hardware side.

From the manual: The control variable in for loops is read only. If you need to change it, declare a local variable with the same name in the loop body. Also [0]: Roberto Ierusalim…

That symmetries imply conservation laws is pretty fascinating (see the Noether theorem). I guess it seems only strange it you assume already that the conservation law holds.

When I was a student of physics and came across this paragraph in Feynman's book, I was curious if he really meant the simple technique explained in the article, a more general one…

I understood "binaries" in "compressed binaries" as "executables", e.g. like a packed executable, but I see that you mean indeed a binary file (and not e.g. a text file).

Thanks for your reply and advice! I guess what you describe as "impossible" is the case I am mostly interested in, though more for non-executable binary data. If I am not mistaken,…

A shot in the dark, but maybe you could give me a hint. Recently, I was interested in extracting sprites from an old game. I was able to reverse the file format of the data archive…

Same experience here! We used Origin and/or QtiPlot in a physics lab for the graphs and quick regressions.

More like "precomputed table" and "table lookup"...

We have been in the process of upgrading to the latest version and can't continue. The lack of communication by Mathworks is very strange.

The reasons for this change seem to be described in [0] with the following summary: > The contribution workflow in Guix has been facing several challenges: > difficult onboarding, …

That the distribution was a fully translated system together with a thick manual (of course also in German) was the whole point and idea. Your comment is too dismissive in my opini…

My migraines turned out to be related to my wisdom teeth. Once they were removed (for a different reason), the migraines stopped.

Do you buy the sockets or do you have a custom solution for that?

From all we know, this was most likely an oversight by Carlsen and then an overreaction by FIDE. After he left on his own, I guess the main sponsor got pretty upset with FIDE and f…

A system that would just output the most probable tokens based on the text it was fed and trained on the games played by players with ratings greater than 1800 would certainly fail…

Yes, it looks like they should have written "NM" instead of "nm".

For the brute-force attack, THC's hydra could be used instead of reinventing the wheel. Or are there licensing issues involved?

Next year, the creators of Excel will get the prize, because it is an implementation of the mathematical universe.
