Looks like it's just calling the crossref API

Go and Rust are more suited than Java for building graphical user interfaces that run cross-platform? That would be news to me.

Sure it can be done, but it's not exactly like there are well-established solutions for this.

Then where's my global setting to tell the browser what languages I speak, so it'd know what header to send?

In Chrome: chrome://settings/languages

In Firefox: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/choose-display-language...

Unfortunately, though, most developers don’t even know that there are options outside of Docker, or that they’re not as “convenient”.

Hopefully, this article has disabused some of that notion.

If that was the goal, it seems terribly complicated when compared with podman.

Well, for one, KaTeX doesn't do "LaTeX" but a limited subset of the TeX equation syntax. As such, it can't handle more complicated macros or typesetting anything apart from equations.

And with that you're completely wrong, since strings in JavaScript are UTF-16.

It just so happens that your example consists of two UTF-16 codepoints.

(Node.js' Buffer uses UTF-8 by default).

Keyboard accessibility could use some love.

This is not a very good explanation, nor is it useful for anything.

A single qubit is not useful for computation and the way it is written doesn't generalize to more than a single qubit. The code doesn't even really simulate a single qubit properly, since it doesn't use complex numbers.

What they call a "Rydberg gate" is not a gate at all.

Most of the text feels like it's written by an AI.

It was changed.

Likely a variant spelling of frammis; https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/frammis

I find it slightly misleading that this is named after TeX, when it actually doesn't do TeX, but only has support for equations.

But I've already complained about that [1] when you presented your last project.

I suppose it's since it doesn't really support LaTeX but instead uses MathJax to render equations.

TeX is a a turing-complete language, picking some random subset of LaTeX commands would feel pretty arbitrary to me. In comparison, supporting full markdown syntax is pretty easy.

Actual research behind the article: https://arxiv.org/abs/2002.01491

This protocol depends on multipartite entanglement, so it does seem quite far away from being practical for anything yet.

If quantum routers were a solved problem and we had a quantum internet (last I checked, we do not), for this we would also need some form of 'coherent multicast routing'.

Want to be able to replace your keyboard, or get another one for the office easily? Buy a Cherry G80-3000.

The G80-3000 comes without NKRO, a very bendable case and PCB-mounted rather than plate-mounted switches.

A Leopold (for example) is much more pleasant to use and not so exotic that it's impossible to obtain a replacement.

That would be 2.

What's done in such an experiment is that we initialize a quantum state in a particular state (that this is possible is not actually obvious, but let's assume it's true) and then we make a lot of repeated measurements after different amounts of times.

So we're not talking about a single system, but instead about statistics about a set of measurements with systems that have been set up in the same initial state. (Each system only being measured once after a certain time after it's being set up).

As a quantum physicist: This might be an interesting experiment, but as far as the theory goes, this is exactly what is to be expected from standard quantum mechanics.

Quantum leaps being instantaneous would be a (possibly common) misconception.

The leap in a quantum leap is describing the notion of a discrete jump in measurement outcomes.

This reminds me of my time in university, when I saved all my lecture notes as DjVu [1] files.

It's a great file format for space-efficient archiving of scans like that, with a bit of scripted preprocessing.

Or if you're already using vim anyway, you can use a plugin like vimtex (https://github.com/lervag/vimtex) which automates the compiling after saving the file.

Is something like that for papers on the arXiv.

Without redundant code:

  \documentclass[border=3pt]{standalone}
  \usepackage{tikz}
  \usetikzlibrary{lindenmayersystems}
  \begin{document}
  \begin{tikzpicture}[line width=1pt, rounded corners=4pt,
          l-system={
              rule set={X -> X+YF+,Y->-FX-Y},
              axiom=FX, angle=90, order=11, step=10pt
          }
      ]
  \foreach \c/\r in {green/0, red/90, blue/180, orange/270}
      \draw[\c, rotate=\r] l-system;
  \end{tikzpicture}
  \end{document}

There is https://scirate.com/

It's only really used by the quantum information community at this point, but you could try promoting it in yours.

I guess the point is to not store ip addresses.

Given the focus on allowing anonymous commenting [1] this seems to make sense.

WinSCP is a nice alternative.

The page is unusable at lower resolutions.

It's pretty bad.

It's great to have a paper like this on the arXiv, I believe this is the right way to reach the scientific community.

Some ideas for improvements:

The package directory could be mentioned more prominently.

It's a bit tricky to select code in the PDF, not sure if much can be done about this?

And Windows 10 will be 6.4.

It just doesn't make any sense.

I'm really confused by the Android bashing in the introduction of the article.

platform compatibility headaches and per-platform performance tuning [35, 30, 24].

That seems a bit biased, doesn't it?

You would find prime factors.

What else would you expect to happen?

I think this one might be more interesting because of the focus on multiplayer (something that probably won't exist in Universim?).

But it's still nice to see the idea get picked up again. Spore had a great concept, but was executed poorly.
