Companies have been really slow to support SVG features in their browsers, and that is very saddening: medium.com/@michaelmangial1/introduction-to-scalable-vector-graphics-6450c03e8d2e
You can't drop SVG support for
canvas until there's a way to run untrusted JavaScript on the browser!SVG does have some compatibility annoyances, notably SVG fonts. But we should as a society work to standardize and implement a fix those, the benefits of SVG are just too great!
Examples:
- svg/svg.svg a minimal somewhat sane SVG:
- if the
widthandheightproperties were not given, you get the default 300x150, which seems to be set in the SVG standard:
- if the
- how to add na SVG image to a HTML file:
- svg/svg.html: external image. The included file is svg/svg.svg.
- svg/inline.html: inline.
- svg/billion-laughs.svg
- svg/html.svg
- svg/triangle.svg
- svg/viewBox.svg: this attribute allows you to control the default SVG
svg width=andheight=while keeping the coordinates of the drawing untouched. If theviewBoxaspect ratio differs from the width/height ratio, you likely want to play withpreserveAspectRatio, otherwise you would get white spaces by default on the generated image - CSS with SVG:
- svg/style.svg: inline CSS
- svg/style-external.svg: external CSS with:
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/css" href="svg.css" ?>, see also: stackoverflow.com/questions/18434094/how-to-style-svg-with-external-css- svg/subdir/style-external.html: is the relative CSS relative to the HTML or to the SVG? Answer: to the SVG... OMG. So how to make it work reliably?
- svg/current-color.html and svg/current-color.svg: illustrates
fill="currentColor". Only works for inline SVG however... See also: stackoverflow.com/questions/13000682/how-do-i-have-an-svg-image-inherit-colors-from-the-html-document/13002311
- JavaScript with SVG:
- svg/defs.html hows how
defsworks- svg/defs-external.html tries to include external
defsfrom svg/defs.svg, but that fails like everything else related to external SVGs
- svg/defs-external.html tries to include external

This is the first thing you have to know about supervised learning:Both of those already have hardware acceleration available as of the 2010s.
- training is when you learn model parameters from input. This literally means learning the best value we can for a bunch of number input numbers of the model. This can easily be on the hundreds of thousands.
- inference is when we take a trained model (i.e. with the parameters determined), and apply it to new inputs
Very hot stuff! It's like ISA-portable assembly, but with types! In particular it also it deals with calling conventions for us (since it is ISA-portable). TODO: isn't that exactly what C does? :-) LLVM IR vs C

A quick look at PostgreSQL's compliance notes: www.postgresql.org/docs/13/features.html shows the complete utter mess that this standard is. Multiple compliance levels that no one fully implements and optional features everywhere.
Pinned article: Introduction to the OurBigBook Project
Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.
Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!
Intro to OurBigBook
. Source. We have two killer features:
- topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculusArticles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
- a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
- a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.
