Plasma physics (magnetohydrodynamics / turbulance) turned out to be a bigger challenge then expected, but it's not far fetched to assume we would be somewhat further along had the funding been closer to one of the "more ambitious" curves.

Here's them infamous 1976 budget scenarios: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:U.S._historical_fusi...

KDE's hybrid file / web browser konqueror has had arbitrary tab tiling since 1999 IIRC.. still a gread tool, would just need some love and webextensions support to come back big

Oh and also https://FluidCAD.io Parametric CAD with JavaScript was posted two weeks ago

This is cool, what about trying build123d against it to compare. And just post again, not easy to make the HN frontpage with that expansive flood of crazy tech news.

Great idea. Interesting to see qwen's textual state evaluation for each frame.

Must say though that the keyboard controls didn't work as advertised for me at all, it seemed very borked.

yes, working on a big END THE MONEY SYSTEM 2030 campaign to get public discussion started about considering the switch to a cooperative commons/resource-based open access economy. open source everything, hack the planet etc. why not make it the singularity of the people

your assumption being the thugs mugging these protesters take care of the dead bodies, which I doubt

piles of bodies on the street would also be visible.

There's another more hidden tool avail: right of the search type bar (images/news/books) there is a "search tools" menu where you can open "all results" and switch it to "verbatim". Often times a good way to see another defunct relict of old, quality google: the empty-result-troll that would once upon a time pull out his fishing rod on click..

A tangent, but this is the second time in two days I've seen the word spelled "often times" instead of "oftentimes". Is this some variant spelling I don't know of? I see it more than "oftentimes" now, which I was hitherto convinced was the only correct spelling.

I've never seen it spelled as "oftentimes".

But as far as I can determine, often times is a misspelling of oftentimes.

I believe you may be correct, but they're both readable-enough.

Like "cannot" vs "can not": One form may be more-correct, but both are very readable.

Either way, it's easy enough to blame spell check on our personal pocket supercomputers for these things.

(Every year or two, Google Keyboard on Android makes it its purpose to screw up "its" vs "it's". You type it the right way, you see it on the screen as being correct, and then it changes it to the wrong form. This happens 100% of the time and then the problem disappears in a few weeks.

I'd give Google a break, but they don't deserve one.

I also blame them single-handedly for the variations in spellings of brake-vs-break on the longer timeline: Sometimes, people get it right and nobody notices. Oftentimes, it's all backwards. The oscillation suggests that it is an auto-derp problem more than it is a cognitive one.)

Cannot and can not are slightly different in that both are correct (in the prescriptivist sense, I suppose; arguably whatever gets the point across is correct). But there are cases where can not is more correct.

I use a keyboard (Thumb-Key to be precise) without autocorrect, though it doesn't stop me from making typing mistakes.

Great. Is there a way to make that the default?

I (usually!) want to find documents that include the words that I'm searching for, not an endless stream of links that some particularly-useless bot thinks I might want instead.

(And when that search returns no results, then that is also a useful data point for me.)

before:2024-08 after:2023-06 to the rescue? manual but works, even though on queries for "trending" keywords results will still be flooded with hits that should be filtered..

then you'll adore this "deep progressive techno" mix playlist by artist "Dub Element" with 50 hours of the finest rolling deep pumping oldschool rave techno. Also does d'n'b and dub techno..
