> curried functions often don't compose nicely Same for imperative languages with "parameter list" style. In python, with def f(a, b): return c, d def g(k, l): return m, n you can't do f(g(1,2)) but have to use f(*g(1

Current social consensus is that copyright exists and one can only use software on conditions stated in license. Thus, proprietary and copyleft have same protection. Another possible consensus would be that copyright don't exist, and a

Copyleft is copyright held in smart way. Nobody can take code under GPL and make its _copy_ proprietary because it would be violation of copyright. In the other thread you argued that AI output is not copyrighted. Do you think I can take pr

Most of FOSS is not a free gift, but asks for some form of repay. MIT asks for credit. GPL asks or credit and GPL'ing of things built atop. Unlicense is a free gift, but it is a minority. AI reproduces code while removing credit and co

Easy to check: try to speak with someone talking foreign language you don't know and estimate what percentage of what they said you understood from tone of voice etc. I would guess it's less than 80%.

√2 with floating point is obviously closest representable number. With fixed point it is obviously closest representable number as well. With rationals, you need to arbitrarily limit precision, and the point of using rational was to use exa

- after few operations denominator exceeds 64-bit range, so you either need bigint, or make fractions approximate, what is in affect fixed point - often you use decimal fraction on output and input anyway - it's slower, even slower wit

With proprietary software, how many times a producer did fix breakage or add missing feature for you because you bought a licence (subscription)? How fast was it?

Chronosort is closer to radix sort, as both are O(n) if values are bounded. Queue-sort (aka heapsort) is O(n log n).

There are two commands that do work in shebang: /bin/sh and /usr/bin/env. Everything else will break sooner or later: BSDs, Nix, Linux distros with separate /bin and /usr/bin and so on.

Right, I forgot storage. Yet in the context of "a model (spreadsheet) with bounded storage and bounded computation steps count is TM complete when looping is externalized", one can externalize storage as well, or encode storage in

This is great example of what is wrong with many SPAs. They should not be applications in first place. Why is it using tons of JS to display few paragraphs of static text? It could be hosted as static html pages. It also kind-of works in ly
