Aluminum is always present in physics laboratories. I bet it is used even in CERN.

We use it for seven years and it still runs fine when we update Pandoc - we usually always update things. I don’t remember anything about the docs, so not sure what changed.

From reading this, it looks like the projected future is mathematicians working more applied to a domain, and the basic research in the academia being severely impacted by the AI companies - who have the money to hire the senior mathematicians from the academia. I guess if some of the biggest universities could come up with their own AI powered programs there could be something to “answer” in a more accessible knowledge, but I don’t see how to properly keep the students motivated to ensure the field keeps producing new people.

The game doesn’t have to be publicly licensed, the issue is for a library used by this game - or their engine. This remark is what blocks anyone from Valve making their own opus compatible library to use on their engines and supported libraries from what I could tell.

One thing about these old school forums is they are something you host yourself (directly or paying a server somewhere), and this requires but knowledge on doing so, and time to do its maintenance (beyond moderation and stuff). Additionally, I don’t think simple machines and phpbb development has kept as strong as the people trying to spam it.

ok, so you haven’t tried box2c, there are some posts about it in the blog

https://box2d.org/posts/2025/04/box2d-3.1/

It became the current box2d implementation, now after version 3.0, it was entirely rewritten in C, it works differently.

I think the biggest issue with Opus is the problem with its specification being lacking, see:

https://nothings.org/stb/stb_opus.html

This essentially causes opus to never be used in games or in things in stores that may have issues with specific licenses.

Have you tried the latest Box2D (it started as the experimental Box2c)? It’s pretty good afaict. It may not be what you want specifically in your 2D game, as often people prefer more arcade-like mechanics than the physics it tries to deliver.

Thanks for this comment, it lead me to look into I2S and I learned something new!

Meanwhile I had to do VHDL to design a chip and then write code for it in paper, and get the actual solution the software that was meant to run in my imaginary processor to work, detailing both the code and what we thought our code was doing. Teacher and TAs would later make it run in a Xilinx to grade and make themselves available at a few hours if you wanted to discuss your grade/solution with them at a later time with the thing actually running in a board.

We had 3 hours to make the test. The papers the teacher delivered had differences between them (I think it was four different versions of the test?). The Teacher didn’t stay in the class also, you had to deliver the test to them later in their office.

It looks like it is based on this https://github.com/pganssle/cim, which I think is this web app

Reading the CLAUDE.md, it looks like this is a rewrite from

I think the main reason of the flame wars is the fear the employer will decide to change things and erase all the years of knowledge on the existing tools, by something new. I believe this is the advantage of letting people use different tools for different things.

I think you can delete the history but it’s hard (more than three steps), at least that was my conclusion from the e blogpost below

git submodule update —recursive —remote is that, isn’t? Perhaps throws also an —init if it’s the first time.

Apparently this isn’t OpenGL Mathematics the C++ library I expected.

With colima I can run AMD64 (x86) Linux containers in my Arm64 too. I think this is strictly for Arm64 Linux VMs, or is there some way to run x86 with this too?

That is a cool algorithm, indeed very interesting 5 lines. Also fun to see things in C#. :)

What does pixel means in this context?
