> Yes, it isn't. It took me some time to get used to the way native speakers of English express agreement or disagreement with a negative statement. Agree: “No, it isn’t.” Disagree: “Yes, it is.”

I wouldn't call "niche" something some big companies have been spending billions of dollars on.

Historically, Category Theory was developed to formalize and better understand some deep methods used in mathematics. Like much of mathematics, it "automated" some types of reasoning, opening possibilities that did not (practicall

Sorry, the word "territory" was merely an (unsuccessful) attempt at a pun on the notion of "atlas" used in the theory of manifolds. (In your example, the straight line segments are the "pages" in such atlas, an

Depends on the context, I guess. In some, a method can involve multiple techniques; some of these techniques can be borrowed from other, unrelated, methods. (You could say that a photograph is kind of data storage, but still.)

Sure; it's just that doing calculations with the Roman numerals takes longer.

A circle is a 1-dimensional manifold (which, indeed, could be embedded in a space that has more dimensions). This follows exactly from your own (correct) image of it as being created from (i.e. being locally homeomorphic to) straight lines.

Not such a bad idea TBH

I don't know what you are talking about. (What I meant was, the need for pointer arithmetic can be avoided by using iterators, and use-after-free, by using smart pointers.)

OK, "socket". (ODROID-N2+, for example, uses eMMC as a faster, better alternative to an SD card.) https://www.hardkernel.com/shop/odroid-n2-with-4gbyte-ram-2/

In C++ (specifically) one can limit oneself to using safe constructs provided by the standard library. (C is a different story, of course.)

I doubt that a dynamically typed interpreted language can be "safer" than a statically typed compiled language.

Well, not an NVMe maybe (yet), but at least a built-in eMMC slot.

Yeah, no, things have changed in the last 30 years...

You believe that your definition of the word "science" is actually correct. (I have my doubts.)

A statistical hypothesis is an assumption about a population parameter. A hypothesis in physics is something else entirely. (Incidentally, there are hypotheses in mathematics, too, called "conjectures"). You may disagree, but I se

I don't think that physics (for example) uses the word "hypothesis" in the same sense, even though there are, indeed, parallels between the two sciences.

One can go to what seems to be infinite lengths, in terms of time, effort, and attention, caring about their health (in general). I’ve always wondered whether it is worth it.
