"Paragraph justification is based primarily on shrinking or stretching the interword blanks. While the blanks on a line are all scaled by the same amout, the amount in question varies from line to line. The quality of a paragraph's typographic color largely depends on the aforementioned variation being as small as possible. Yet, TEX'S paragraph justification algorithm addresses this problem in a rather coarse fashion. In this paper, we propose a refinement to the algorithm allowing to improve the situation without disturbing the general behavior of the algorithm too much, and without the need for manual intervention. We analyze the impact of our refinement on a large number of experiments through several statistical estimators. We also exhibit a number of typographical traits relatedto whitespace distribution that we believe may contribute to our perception of homogeneousness."

what? this runs on all platforms

Thanks

That's nuts

Not in the domain but it looks great :) Congratulations

Exactly. This is the exact stack I envision to be the future in that space. The work of Scott Logic is awesome (and the company looks really nice as well! People and values)

Same. Neovim and plugins I use have been remarkably stable from the start

Thanks a lot for sharing your perspective. This convinces me to give it a proper try!

Unpopular opinion given all the craze around Elixir these days. I find the syntax extremely verbose and hard to read compared to e.g. Python. I was told great things about it by engineers I really respect. But each time I start reading Elixir code bases to get a good look at what an actual Elixir project looks like, I find the code hard to read and understand. Is it just me?

you nailed it

they really know when reading the paper. small world, everyone PI knows who is working on what

what kind of device? also building a medtech start-up in France, would love to discuss

totally agree, a missed opportunity

what do you mean by 'native'? or, in other words, what makes psycopg non-native?

i'm the same. i don't understand why some fellow programmers need multiple monitors: one is already plenty enough for me. (i'm using a tiling window manager, switching back and forth between different workspaces, having another monitor would require moving my head while i can instantly switch to another workspace from my fingertips)

i live in Paris (born there) and travel almost exclusively by bike, sometimes 15km to cross the entire town. i can testify that this headline is utterly exaggerated: the situation is really fine here. yeah there are many cyclists but we're doing good.

in my experience, technical details have been figured out on a whiteboard before, and then it can happen that a PR is just going to be LGTM and merge. not all conversations happen on a PR system. people talk IRL too

interested to hear what other hners think about this. anybody did this for interviewing before? i myself had a beer with my phd supervisor as our first meeting, not sure this really help knowing whether we'd get along because turns out we didn't

Refs to actual peer reviewed many articles please

Yeah, same boat here!

That way of communicating with your child is some black mirror shit

That's black mirror shit up there

GitHub has been expending its services, diverging from its original intent (e.g. remote visual studio code).

I disagree. I think providing that a way to distribute applications through GitHub, with builds certified as coming from the original authors, would be beneficial.

https://coq.inria.fr/ would be a good choice for proof assistance, I believe

> anyone trying to log in with a password is full of it Dang! But so true

actually found the PDFs

this looks very good. do you know if there is a PDF version that contains the whole textbook? could not find it on the website

really cool! congrats

you're missing that China initially suppressed info abt this virus, which caused it to spread. had they reacted immediately, we might be in a much better situation rn

what if you wait and your employees get sick? if you're in tech, just implement a work from home policy right now. don't wait for the gov to do so. it's a matter of time. - a French
