are you asking if there must be not space between them, like “<<“? then yes

swap “ and , back to get the usual notation. apparently z,” is preferred typographically by some

who’s brave enough to design a programming language in which commas move inside quotes like print(“There are,” n, “bottles of beer on the wall”)

For centuries, scientists have thought of the brain as a single, unified organ. But new research led by Stanford Medicine reveals that what we call the brain is two distinct organs that evolved independently over hundreds of millions of years. med.stanford.edu/news/all-new...

A new blog post www.philipzucker.com/lambda_mille... Lambda Microegg. A s-exp frontend to a small rust e-graph implementation that supports binders and capture avoiding substitution. Good clean fun. WASM demo here: www.philipzucker.com/lambda-micro...

It’s an egraph that supports well-scoped alpha aware binders.

this isn’t a legal question

as xkeeper explained, it’s more complicated than “just plagiarism” because information can be discovered independently with no way to prove it but I don’t think it’s a principled position to say “plagiarism is no big deal when it happens to people I don’t like”

*rubbing temples* right, okay, it’s messy

I’m reading this as “I got IP banned, so I started deleting my stuff. then my account got banned, so I’ll need you to do the rest” but like, regardless of logistics, the intent here is clear

I’m a bit baffled you’d post yourself laughing off a reasonable request like that. you want to choose who to share information with, so do they. strongly hoping I’m misunderstanding the situation

In ~2007 when coding the ambient lighting of Splinter Cell, I had the idea of storing dynamic SH probes in Voronoi cells, where a) dynamic objects could walk/lerp the face graph, and b) static meshes "palettised" probes per vertex and lerped to give Realtime GI. It never shipped but look how pretty!

the psycho terf groups are starting to have their eyes drift towards diy hrt resources again - so it's a good time to remember that under no circumstances in no world whatsoever for the rest of time should you talk to journalists, especially regarding anything related to diy hormones.

Big fan of the general recomp "devs" going "recomp means we can improve the games!" and "no more emulation!", and then you see those automated recomps that: 1. Emulate the PS1 CPU anyway and dump JIT'ted code on runtime (like emus) 3. Ship game patches instead of making in-source changes (like emus)

What if our ears were like our eyes, and only had three (types of) receptors? Interestingly speech is still more or less intelligible, but not much else to me this shows how much more discriminating of frequencies our hearing is than our vision. Of course our vision has much more spatial resolution

I had a little input method idea based on how Chinese input works. maybe useful for slow typists... but also a little annoying when it doesn't work ofc

Opps tried sending me a DDoS. Jokes on them, I never had service to begin with. I blink packets into the heavens like sending SOS morse codes. My computers plugged into the dirt below me. We transmit packets over tin can and string. Tried dialling into the ISP they put me on hold
