    Interestingly, just the same day I find that xwidgets isn't dead anymore ( https://github.com/emacs-mirror/emacs/commit/4e855f90d1b1c39... ); life is funny!

    Finally found a working graphical Emacs browser! I've been looking for just this since webkit widgets died. In my experience on macOS, EAF was very buggy (plus spawning an ugly ext…

    My goodness, how so thoughtful Emacs Solo is!

    The new Emacs features sound great! (We have native window management finally) I wish we would someday be able to edit in xref too, wgrep having landed in Emacs 30 (especially sinc…

    M-n, M-p. M-r for searching on past commands. C-c c-n/C-p for next/previous prompt. C-c C-r to scroll to focus on output. Having switched recently to Emacs, my current issue is how…

    By the way, anyone have experience using emacs to analyse and visualise data (think spreadsheets and charts)? I’d really like to be able to use it to view any sort of data I happen…

    An uninformed question: If the network is fully composed of 1x1 convolutions, doesn’t that mean no information mixing between pixels occur? Would that not imply that each pixel is …

    What are some more information on the state of the art in runtime adaptation? I confess I do not feel like I possess such a thing from the databases I regularly use. Adaptation sou…

    When things aren’t ticking perfectly for Synology their software can be kind of weird. Sometimes after power failures, some disks get corrupted and… you simply can’t log in to the …

    I’ve once attempted to implement a solution where ids are generated by UUIDv5 from a certain owner and the relationship of the new item to the owner; that way, users cannot generat…

    Yeah, its a theoretical general connection. Once you’ve pinned down the specific structure and know how many structures to skip by virtue of knowing how to count them, it becomes a…

    Comment #44022341

    For those who are not aware, knowing how to count the number of structures is (nearly) the same as knowing how to encode said structure as an integer (space-optimally) (the naive g…

    A somewhat more “complete” solution that doesn’t give you hints (thus doesn’t rely on the plugin support for all of vim’s vast functionalities), but conditions your instincts to ge…

    A very exaggerated example to use exp time… Whatever your constant, for exp time, it’s going to run for times longer than the life of the universe on probably any n > 10… Since you…

    You're right, it's not the same. Undecidable properties are not related in general.

    Comment #43298182

    Halting (problem) is undecidable. Undecidability is not just the halting problem. Whether you go to the park on a given day is undecidable (assuming you have free will, and all suc…

    Note that succinct data structures may not be faster than conventional structures if your dataset fits in memory http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~huanche1/slides/FST.pdf . Of course, for lar…

    To be fair, searching with Spotlight has been equally slow and useless for me… Whenever I need to find a file and mistakenly use Command F in my Finder, the complete cessation of a…

    You may be interested in my other comment. To put it simply, pure languages remove serialisation of false data dependencies, exposing data parallelism, and interaction nets remove …

    Comment #43146386

    Both lambda calculus and interaction nets are confluent. That is, for a term that can be normalised (i.e. evaluated), one can obtain the same answer by performing any available act…

    This is very powerful. Unfortunately, as an Ex command, `!` only works on full lines. One can of course also teach vim to operate `!` over any motion (or visual selection), whether…

    I read the paper a few years ago and I agree that for such an incredible algorithmic improvement, it’s not trivial to find a use case, as you still need to maintain a separate (alb…

    The example is meant to demonstrate that whether I say 平 as ping or peng changes the meaning of the sentence. It does not depend on how I feel like it. Another example: I buy some …
