syadegari··on Ask HN: Good Online Maths Communities?
While not a community itself, Terence Tao's blog (https://terrytao.wordpress.com/) is a good source of high quality, clearly explained maths. As you may know, he has a very broad range of interests, and there might be something for you to pick up and get involved in. He has also been involved in several collaborative math communities, which he writes about at length in his blog. I recall Polymath project and recently some project involving Lean Theorem Prover that even showed up on the first page of the HN.
syadegari··on 93% of paint splatters are valid Perl programs (2019)
Tangentially relevant to this is Perl Secrets, a list of operators and constants discovered by various users: https://github.com/book/perlsecret/blob/master/lib/perlsecre...
syadegari··on What is Webb observing now?
Does someone know why the bright stars in the image do not show the hexagonal pattern that is present in published images of Webb?
syadegari··on What is Webb observing now?
+1!! This may sound weird, but I can use this as a mood booster when life gets tough. Side note: I might be biased because I also find it useful to think about the vastness space to trick my brain falling asleep (I watch a lot of video astronomy videos).
syadegari··on Making Hard Things Easy
The point Julia makes about `grep` resonate with me alot! I have the same (call it problem if you want) issue with `ps`. There is only one variation of ps I know of (`ps aux`) and if I want to change that I have to either look for the options in the man page or google it.
syadegari··on Nvidia prepares to abandon $40B Arm bid
Does anyone know why they decided to go for buying Arm in the first place? If they needed tight integration with their GPUs and wanted to move away from x-86, can't they come up with Arm-based solutions like Apple did?

syadegari··on DeepONet: A deep NN-based model to approximate linear and nonlinear operators
Is it just me or the wordings of the article sound too generic/unspecific to someone else?
syadegari··on The 16-Inch MacBook Pro
It's good to see that the physical escape key is back!
syadegari··on Kuo: Apple to include new scissor switch keyboard in MacBook
Cannot wait to hear what they're going to say about "reinventing keyboard"!

If you're on desktop you can use eww (emacs)
syadegari··on Ask HN: Research topics at the intersection of topology and computer science
Thanks for mentioning the paper, this comes close to one of my topics of interest, spectral graph theory. Although quite an interesting subject (I can see myself easily being drawn to the subject), I wonder if there has been any attempts to understand or study the topological structure at the heart of algorithms that are used for learning or natural language processing/parsing. I am quite curious and eager about these methods so if you happen to know of a paper or reference please let me know.
syadegari··on Things I wish they told you about Emacs
For more than one shell buffer you can also do C-u M-x shell and then press enter (for the default buffer name) if you can live with shell-2, shell-3, etc. for your shell buffers' names. Saves the time for renaming.
