    Hyperion is awesome. Each story could be its own novella but especially the priest's tale. I also loved the consul's tale. I haven't read the rest yet because I am unsure how the s…

    I really enjoyed Fezzick and Inigo's chapters. And the Zoo of Death! As I remember, the framing narrative was quite different, something about a screenwriter with some glaring pers…

    How is the latency for drawing? I am going to start doing this, but it makes me think, it would be nice to have a way to disable full refresh while drawing, and doing tablet-side d…

    You can also use EXWM in Xephyr, so you can have an emacs window with its own controlled windows instead of replacing the whole DE/window-manager. I suppose this doesn't work with …

    I love it because I have glare/doubling around words. Adding some visual noise can mask my own eye problems, and adding some visual effects with the glowbar and jittering if I feel…

    I've heard good things about sclerals and am planning to get them. Small triple images in the left eye and triple in the right eye with a major image further away, like 3 lines on …

    Thanks for the link to tmuxinator, I had heard of it but never learned what it does. I think I'd like something like this. But I think this is a case of tmux providing a platform, …

    VFX software development, repairing and modifying pipelines for artists, at a company with a large internal tool infrastructure like Weta, ILM, Pixar, is my target job

    I have felt similar, wanting to learn physics sims. I have had to learn over time to separate domains of knowledge like physics from programming tools used to ~manifest them. Espec…

    As latexr said you can disable watch history. This means there is no home page (even when it should have known my interests, my home page was awful so this isn't so bad). You don't…

    I love this book so much. The literate programming style I think inspired from Knuth's cweb, great writing, beautiful high-quality physical book worth buying but also free access t…

    I think the geo URI scheme might work if you have an exact location for the book.

    Yay Ben Rady. He has a great podcast with Matt Godbolt (who made Compiler Explorer) called Two's Complement.

    I just realised in the above comment I was making a mistake in an analogy to shortest path optimal substructure. In shortest path, starting with an optimal solution, "subproblems" …

    Thanks, it looks like I had forgotten how dynamic programming works, e.g. constructing from possibly all subproblem solutions rather than just some way of breaking into some disjoi…

    Yes I was surprised at that sentence because I think (considering theoretical properties of code size are the same as instruction count) that the main initial reason compiler optim…

    In the article he says "Now, let's say you split the function in two parts and you find their minimums independently", so I am trying to think of what that means. I was thinking so…

    Why does optimal substructure work for code size? Couldn't you take a compiled non-minimal function and break each instruction into a function call (with some assumptions about the…
