Google killed Maps Timeline, so I self-hosted a better one

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-03-07 09:30:23

It’s always felt like a private travel diary logging ev

Cosmoe: BeOS Class Library on Top of Wayland

Cracovians: The Twisted Twins of Matrices

Linear algebra is typically explained using matrices. But matrix theory is just one possible perspective. Below, I describe an alternative approach to linear algebra. Tadeusz Banachiewicz (1882–1954), a Polish astronomer living in Krakow, was passionate about calculating machines. From the 1920s, Banachiewicz developed a method for computations on tables of numbers, which was particularly easy to perform with arithmometers. In honor of Krakow, Banachiewicz named these computational objects crac
