We are all familiar with a traditional office suite - a word processor, a spreadsheet, a presentation program, maybe a diagramming or note-taking app. We have seen it all in Microsoft Office and Google Docs. Those are really powerful and large. But what would be the most minimal amount of code required to build an office suite? platform Obviously, our office suite won’t be a desktop GUI app - those require plenty of code and efforts to buil..

Σ/ To discover what was dearly missed in schooling, this general will serve as a playground. >What do you mean? Why talk of mathematics? >I hate mathematics. https://www.maa.org/external_archive/devlin/LockhartsLament.pdf >Okay, but I don't know where to start. I still hate what I was put through. I'm just as lost, but I hope this is what this general will serve as. Don't be afraid to ask any 'stupid' questions here. ..

In reply to Ed Hurst. Thanks brother and namesake! I appreciate your willingness to face my Spanish writing and I don't have any doubts about your good nature. But I am afraid that some English speakers might be put off; and, especially, many Spanish speakers could be put off or intimidated due to the massive English content. They are the ones who concern me the most..

If you are not familiar with these 3 speakers and their thesis about education, time to catch up! Entertaining and well-articulated, they will help you understand where the current education system migh be falling short. Ken Robinson is more focused on the what, Seth on the why and Sugata Mitra is looking for an alternative approach (hint: it involves the Internet). Ken Robinson: School kills creativity I am not sure how much Ken Robinson s..

2020 Elections are coming up, and beyond the Trump vs Biden theatrics, in Massachusets we have a ballot referendum on the Right to Repair . TL;DR: Vote ‘Yes’ on Question 1. Currently auto manufacturers must provide independent auto repair shops access to the same diagnostic and repair information about a vehicle as the manufacturers’ dealers have, but the current law doesn’t include telematics, defined by the state as “systems that col....

Just a quick note - I offer some (currently just static) web services at the according link in the menu. Besides some notes - small snippets of information that do not really fit into a specific post - and a page for copypasta, you will also find some possibly more interesting things: A verify page for providing a second opinion on whether public keys and onion links are correct (let me know if I should add anything on there) and my latest ..

K-means clustering (not to be confused with K-nearest neighbors) is an unsupervised learning algorithm used for grouping similar points together into clusters. start Algorithm The basic K-means algorithm is fairly simple and has two steps, repeated until convergence: assign points to cluster corresponding to closest centroid update centroid locations to the mean of all points assigned to the associated cluster The algorithm con..

Anyone who is a member in one of my rooms should have noticed by now: Something went terribly wrong. There was no malicious intent at any point in time which lead to this, and, while certain peculiarities of the Matrix spec may have had an influence, the fault was mainly due to a mistake on my side… Everything was related to server ACLs in these rooms, so that is where I will start. What are server ACLs? "ACL" is short for "Access Control....

Originally appeared in Infinite Regress In 1983, at the tender age of 8, I had my first real crisis as an artist. It involved a new-media project I was working on for Mrs. Widenbacher’s class that called for a particular interactive element that I knew would really drive home what I was trying to say. […]

useEffect is great for fetching and rendering data, but are you using it correctly? There's an eslint plugin to check!

If your plan is to loop over a collection: You shouldn’t check for it being non-empty first. Don’t do this: if (!stuff.empty()) { for (Item item : stuff) { // ... } } Do this instead: for (Item item : stuff) { // ... } Benefits: Shorter Less nesting Same performance I used to do this too at some point in the past, because I thought this would have performance benefits, but in reality, the performance benefit is hardly measur..

Hillel Wayne has a great newsletter, and one recent post had this observation: The abstract concept here is knowledge or skills that You are unlikely to discover on your own, neither through practice and reflection nor by observing others apply it. Once somebody tells you about it, you can easily learn and apply it. Once you can use it, it immediately gives you significant benefits, possibly to the point of raising your expertise level.

Memory issues can be hard to track down. A function that only allocates a few small objects can cause a space leak if it’s called often enough and those objects are never collected. Even then, many objects are supposed to be long-lived. How can a tool, armed with data on allocations and their lifetimes, help sort out the expected from the suspicious?
