Int-to-float conversion is lossy, as my Python example demonstrates, and thus should not be automatic. Performing a float op with an int, which you said should be allowed, entails automatic int-to-float conversion before the op, does it not

Floating-point numbers, existing on finite computers, are just erroneous approximations of real numbers, so the same operation on floating-point and on ints means different things, yielding different results. Thus, allowing the programmer t

More to the point is that they care more about "zero covid" than other aspects of public welfare. The necessity of the lockdown for omicron, which is less deadly than previous variants, is dubious so if they are unable to properly

How? Is permissionlessness and decentralization inherently harmed by using the Lightning Network?

You did not mention the Lightning Network, where fees are negligible. You cannot seriously research on bitcoin without coming across the Lightning Network.

The negative number is telling me that people don't like facts, or even just the statement of facts without value judgment, and just like to engage in identity politics and judgment even when politics is unnecessary.

Why the insistence on Retina displays, though? If the pixel count is too small for the monitor size, then place the monitor further away, and use more monitors if necessary. E.g. you could have 2x 30-inch 4k monitors. The DPI is low but you

It seems that this guy used to spend more time writing and maintaining Haskell libraries. Nowadays, it seems that he spends more time ranting about public blockchains/cryptocurrencies. It's weird to me how much time he seeems to s

Users are interested in apps that have no ads. Whether or not an app has ads is not part of the standard app info fields, so while publishers could lie in the title, where else can the users find out whether there are ads and why couldn&#x2

Lobsters & crabs are risky to eat unless they are very fresh (i.e. they have not been dead for too long). If you buy a dead lobster and then cook it, you have much less assurance about when it died hence the freshness than with a live l

"The man" wants his pound of flesh for as many financial transactions in the economy as possible, extracting various kinds of fees. Permissionless public-ledger cryptocurrencies cut out the priviledged middlemen.

You are comparing apples and oranges, obviously. Perhaps some people are just unconsciously too enamored with apples. OP's problem was not configuring default Python version as in your second link. Your first link is about some IBM stu

No such problems on Linux, which is free and open-source. I think 'open-source' is the key.

A full criticism would take a book. There are such books and presentations you can find easily and the papers I linked to are a start. I was just giving examples to show that there are flaws. The appearance of scientific rigor and trustwort

That's besides the point. Countries can change their systems; political regimes are not permanent and don't exist in a vacuum but respond to the environment. Who is to say that US actions did not give more domestic political legit

Tell that to Mohammad Mosaddegh, the democratically-elected Prime Minister of Iran until some hostile action by the CIA. Or, consider Saudi Arabia, which has a monarchy. They are on very friendly terms with the US. I've just listed two

I wonder how much of the authoritarian tendencies of the government of certain countries (e.g. Russia, China, Iran) is driven by a desire to maintain the stability and control presumably needed to resist hostile actions by the US empire tha

If the concern is minerals, aren't there rocks in the soil that as they get broken down over time will release minerals? As for non-mineral things like nitrogen, isn't the soil supposed to have an ecosystem that replenishes these

How are they practically going to find the defendant? On a public blockchain, you can't always put a name or face to an address. The tokens in question can change hands many times and make it hard to trace identity.

That's not how it works. In the event of a hard-fork, when the two forks adopt different rules about what blocks are valid, the actual users of BTC still decide which rules to follow. If a miner produces blocks that are invalid accordi

How is BTC mining a Ponzi scheme in a way that gold mining isn't? Neither require any insider information and new entities can join in the mining. In fact BTC mining has lower barriers to entry because it doesn't require license,
