Comeau (the author of this post) has beta-published a React course, so keep your eyes peeled.

What's fun is that even though this is highly useful for that type of relationship, the firm I used to work for would tout these practices and claim that's how they believed clients would best be served; and then as soon as we set

How will you know when it's actually working as intended? The issue is /strongly/ epistemological.

Erdogan explicitly declined it when Musk offered.

I think the idea is that it's better to maintain several functions whose implementations are each linear flow than to maintain a single function that is littered with type key checks to turn on and off parts of its flow. It's trad

Institutions drift in loyalty and direction, but corruption and lack of accountability fester regardless. Is it difficult to believe that it continues to abuse its power, and will ally itself with whichever party endorses that abuse?

De facto more than de jour, given how the FBI has been operating.

If the FBI sends such an email, there is a tacit threat of criminal liability.

The vim/evil-equipped distributions go a long way toward helping with this.

It certainly can be a delimiter, and indeed is often how we delimit sequences in normal language texts. I've been experimenting with how this type of syntax could be used to transcribe Lisps, following on from the like of 'Wisp&#x

And yet it has happened with great regularity. YouTube alone has been the site of numerous such advertiser withdrawals, so much so that its users coined a name for them, 'Adpocalypses'. It is often journalistic enterprises who see

I don't presume to be an expert on how reader sentiment colors an ad view. But it would surprise me if it had as big an impact as people claim, or if people actually think the advertiser is picking a side or condoning bigotry, for exam

Only if ill-intended parties pressure those advertisers and effectively threaten them with that bad publicity for sticking around. It changes the game when there is coercion by third parties who are more than happy to see Twitter collapse i

Forgive me if this is reductive, but could this mentality not be summarized as: 'Justifying the means by the ends, accumulate as much wealth as possible at any cost to some groups in order to distribute it to the other groups towards w

This site is formative to me. One of the underrated aspects of MOD files is that they're totally transparent - you can learn from others' work by examining the same files you use to play the music. It's more transparent than

'safe' and 'open' are doing some heavy lifting, here. What would the definitions of those words be, in this context?

by Fellshard 4y ago
I expect the former because sexprs give you AST structure for free, and the latter because pattern-matched dispatch on AST nodes is ubiquitous.

Scathing contempt, dripping bile, and caustic blamecasting mark those with no awareness of their own culpability. Mind your response with great care, lest you find yourself to be at the root of the problem.

Wisp is an addictive /idea/, even if the net benefit ends up not being terribly strong. But combined with some other changes in assumptions, there might be some interesting insights. I've tinkered with this idea for a bit. h

It certainly would not be difficult if the judges themselves shared the desire to see votes cast a specific way, I expect.

by Fellshard 4y ago
The number of people who actually vote is often nowhere near the number registered, meaning you have lots of padding with which to work. This idea doesn't pan out whatsoever.

You presume lack of aptitude. I presume the ineptitude of teachers in the vast majority of cases, through about the algebra level, after which case the levels of abstraction do start learning on genuine aptitude for abstract thinking.

It's definitely too far a stretch to place it at the center - but for those who have experienced it, it is definitely a part of musical performance /for them/, and a not-insignificant part. There might also be some unexplored
