I do rust dev (nvim) and other ssh/terminal tasks on my Android phone. I get 82 rows and 118 columns, so not too worried about long lines. Mostly for something to do during my commute or when I want to do some coding without having to carry a laptop around.

A paper doesn't necessarily mean the information is new, but that there is now some/more evidence to support it.

I explain "X equals X plus one" as though each variable has an implicit version that increases whenever it's written to or as time goes on, but we can only access the lastest version.

For example

    X = X + X
is really

    Xv2 = Xv1 + Xv1

I code on my phone using termux, tmux, nvim, and Unexpected Keyboard (no physical keyboard) on an Android phone. Vim style modal editing is actually really well suited to this kind of development.

It lets me work on my hobbies while I commute, travel, or am otherwise idle and is a nice alternative to scrolling social media or consuming content.

With git, I can just sync my changes and work from a PC when I can/want to.

The page loads a "subscribe to author" modal pretty quickly after the page loads. You may have partially blocked it, so you won't see the modal but it still prevents scroll.

Specifically this

Do you have any reason to believe that your automated AI checker is accurate or reliable? If anything, you're biasing yourself against neurodivergent applicants or anyone applying using their non-native language.

Doing something pretty similar with u,v coordinates to project half-edge arrows onto triangle faces.

A bit fancier than my awk version

  awk -W interactive 'BEGIN { t = systime(); } { u=systime(); if (u - t > 1) { printf("= %s %ds =========\n",strftime("%T"), u - t); }; print $0; t = u; }'

Or if you want to clear the screen too

  awk -W interactive 'BEGIN { t = systime(); } { u=systime(); if (u - t > 1) { printf("\033[2J\033[H= %s %ds =========\n",strftime("%T"), u - t); }; print $0; t = u; }'
