Julia is not an OO language, and its functions dispatch on all function arguments, not just the first one.

by Mikhail_K 4y ago
Julia is not a proper general purpose programming language, because it has one-based array indexing?

It's a complicated story. Author wants us to feel good about the ending, but should we? We didn't hear the other side, after all.

And yet your documentation states that the results of rendering with free engines are not as good as with your very expensive proprietary one. D2 is that fake corporate "open-source" intended to sucker programmers into tying their

I feel it is misleading to call d2 "an open-source alternative", when it is developed to support proprietary rendering engine, the diagram examples given in documentation were rendered by that engine and the reason given is that t

It is misleading to point to sysvinit failures while arguing in favour of systemd, because the latter is not the only alternative to the former. As for the calling all opponents of systemd "incompetent", this is just plain bad fai

by Mikhail_K 4y ago
That doesn't solve the problem, because systemd developers have insinuated dependencies on it into multiple unrelated system components.

The onewheel is an inherently bad, unsafe design. The long board that a rider stands on is ever liable to stick into the ground and throw a rider. Compared even to a monowheel (not the safest mode of transportation in itself), it is downrig

And that's assuming it ever had any kind of "zen" in the first place. Its package management system looks like from something from Dante's "Inferno" rather than any kind of Oriental wisdom.

TLDR: "machine learning", that is, some neural network again. That has nothing to do with science.

It is not false, because I made clear what mass I am talking about. Dogmatic nit-picking may satisfy your wish to feel superior to the great unwashed masses, but it is not particularly helpful.

I am aware of Okun's campaign to eliminate the term "realtivistic mass". I am not sure I am 100% on board with this, because the concept of "relativistic mass" is intuitive and practically useful (used by engineers

Photon drive is not "thrust without reaction mass", because photons do have mass (they have zero rest mass, but are never at rest). Mass of a photon is, unsurprisingly, E/c^2, where E=h\omega. If photons had zero mass, they w
