Please don’t write your documentation in Markdown got a lot of attention last month, when Hillel Wayne said something both reasonable and familiar: Markdown’s simple syntax does not lend itself to complex technical documents. Antonio Zolotukhin made a similar point back in 2018 , as others have before him, and more will in the future. Their argument makes sense; the idea that this is 1) a problem, and 2) needs addressing, however, does..

I'm a fan of Magnar Sveen's multiple cursors Emacs implementation. It's just so fun to use and works very well with commands bound to my favorite keys. Every now and then I'd like to execute extended commands on all cursors, but they have no keys bound to them. If you're an ivy/counsel fan like me (and all packages by Abo Abo ), you use counsel-M-x to invoke commands. However, counsel-M-x doesn't support multiple cursors out of t....

A few weeks ago, I got myself a Bamboo Slate tablet, and had a lot of fun playing around with the output. The Linux software for talking to that device is Tuhi , which is GUI driven, but also dumps the raw point and pressure data in JSON format into a directory. As a side effect of playing around with that, I published a 2d path simplification library which uses the Ramer-Douglas-Peucker algorithm . Given a sequence of 2D points, ....

Go’s lack of generics means that people can’t overengineer in the way they are used to, so they need to put more thought into their designs. There are some use cases where abstractions with generics are better to the current ones (e.g. the sort package), but by and large, in other languages, people use them to build towers of abstractions which you’ll later need to wrap your head around, which introduce conceptual duplication (e.g. mockin..

The only time I've been able to seriously, rapidly improve my ability to speak a foreign language was through intensive language courses in college. I was forced to actively speak, read, and write Chinese for 6-8 hours a week (1-2 hours every day). Then study another 5-10 hours a week in preparation for the active sessions. I went three semesters like this before I left school. I've been trying to recreate that intensity since and mostly ....

It can either be still or sparkly and can contain either aromas or stay natural. Mead is one of the oldest alcohol ever made and was drunk in the northern countries during the Middle Ages. How do you brew mead? Brewing mead is quite simple. Mead is not an alcohol that is too sensit..

In this last part, we will see how to go even farther. We w..

I describe a how a small but critical modification to correlated multi-jittered sampling can significantly improve its blue noise spectral characteristics whilst maintaining its uniform projections. This is an exact and direct grid-based construction method that guarantees a minimum neighbor point separation of at least $0.707/n$ and has an average point separation of $0.965/n$. … Continue reading "A new method to construct isotropic bl..
