So silly, considering all the noise and accidents alcohol directly causes. But then a single bad case after someone taking psychedelics, and they reverse.

The Uigurs, for instance.

This seems to control whether to upgrade homebrew itself?

Yes, they got a lot better in Clojure 1.9.

Sort of. There are many fractals that are not described by L systems (whereas every application is written in code)

I've just started learning WebGL+Three.js. Does anyone know how similar this pipeline is to how it is done in a browser? (and how much of this is still true 9 years later?...)

Many linters have built-in auto-fix features like what you describe. (eslint, for example)

It is quite obvious that the reasons Sweden has > 3000 deaths and Norway has less than 300 is because of much less severe restrictions. Sweden has twice the population, but quite similar demographics.

I read the book "Other Minds: The Octopus, the Sea, and the Deep Origins of Consciousness" last year. Very interesting book about octopi. https://www.amazon.com/Other-Minds-Octopus-Origins-Conscious...

I think they might be thinking of the corona of the sun

> The temperature in the corona is more than a million degrees, surprisingly much hotter than the temperature at the Sun's surface which is around 5,500° C

There's a missing "real" in the title of the submission: "The Mark Zuckerberg Is a Lot Less Impressive Than the Movie Version"

Rail ticket prices are decided at the government level in Norway, so this should have quite a minimal effect on those.

Also, as learning Elm is quite fast - I don't think the vendor lock-in is a very convincing argument.

There is an ongoing controversy in Norway right now, where a TV show during one month tried to manipulate the results of "school elections" (basically mocks of the real elections, where one votes for the real parties - the results are often used as an indicator for the real election results some weeks later).

The goal of the show was to show how election results can be manipulated, which created some outrage: some of the students are old enough to vote in the real elections, so they might have manipulated real results.

The 2017 Abel Prize was awarded to Yves Meyer (no relation) for his contribution to the theory of wavelets. This is worth a read: https://www.quantamagazine.org/yves-meyer-wavelet-expert-win...

I recently read Simon Singhs book "The Code Book: The Science of Secrecy from Ancient Egypt to Quantum Cryptography" [1]: it is very fun and readable about this (and many other) cipher.

Off topic, but capitalizing words in titles in English really bothers me. Every word in the title are nouns, but some are here ment to be verbs. In German for example, only the nouns would have been capitalized, making the title much easier to read.

In Norway we can prevote several weeks before the election. Result is more people voting and shorter voting lines on voting day.

If one wants the content of this article in podcast format, the researcher was interviewed in one of the latest episodes of Data Skeptic (an excellent pod cast, by the way): https://dataskeptic.com/blog/episodes/2018/deepfakes

His posts are short and to the point, often about experiments in numerical mathematics.

I haven't watched the Abel lecture yet. What is it that you find bizarre?

Very short feedback: it looks very nice (startup time was fast on my Mac). However, some of the usual Mac hotkeys in text fields didn't work. In (for example) the Chrome URL field I can press ctrl+a to go to the beginning of the URL (in this case I forgot to write http://). Didn't work.

He has now also written books about bread! https://www.amazon.co.uk/Modernist-Bread-Art-Science-Cuisine...

Nice! Even though this is implemented before, it is easy to read (and if you only need simple functions, downloading Sage is a bit of a overkill (there is an online version of Sage which I used a lot during my PhD though!)).

I like seeing simple implementations of things like this - inspiring for others thinking of similar things!

I agree that the would already should have had a lingua franca, but I must say that it English is far from the best candidate. The language is huge, and the grammar is full of irregularities. Pronunciation must be learnt case by case (why are "women" pronounced "wee-men"?).

His grandson is actually a mathematics professor at my university: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erling_St%C3%B8rmer Really funny and amicable guy.

It is possible to sort them by difficulty. Some of the newer problems are easier than some of the first 100 problems, appearantly.
