Getting better equipment (larger screens, faster computers, licences) would solve most of your concerns with the IDEs. And getting better equipment usually soon becomes a non-problem for professional programmers. Having an IDE is like hiri

Same here. `psvm` is perfectly consistent with the rest of the language. IMHO it is much better to have a consistently verbose/explicit language than an inconsistent one.

Are you being serious? > You're conflating electrons and electromagnetic radiation. Isn’t that one of the main points of quantum physics? Light does apply pressure. Also photon exists?

I am not that familiar with MathML, but I can imagine programmatically manipulate math expressions with MathML; can TeX math expressions be manipulated in the same way?

As AI grows stronger, the "me" part is going to matter less and less. A "graduate + AI" might be nearly as effective as "you + AI", while being significantly more... cost-efficient.

I think it used to be that one needs to write dedicated programs to go through large amount of data --- you need to know a programming language, all its toolchains, and the all the proper algorithms for doing the query __out-of-memory__ ---

Nice to know, thanks! I am not very familiar with how modern Python wsgi servers manage states, but in Java e.g. states can be cached in the heap of the one and same JVM --- can one say that the need to use an external state store like Redi

I like it. Reminds me of Vaadin and friends. One question regarding the states: when do I get a new State allocated? Is it with every new tab? It's definitely not per-browser-session: if I open a new tab I seem to get a new state, w

It would be interesting to see what happens when we describe the rules of chess to chatgpt as a completely new abstract game and ask it to play it. That should show whether chargpt actually understood the rules or has been just scraping fr

I'd thought direct observation of the photo would mean physically interact with it (and thus changing its behaviour). My understanding is that there are also other experiment designs which allow identifying which path a photon went af

My interpretation of the double-slit experiment has been that the presence of physical matters in a certain configuration imposes some sort of probabilistic "reality field" that propagates at light-speed. The superposition of the

My experience has been that most of the time you don’t tell DuckDB to insert data. One is expected to point DuckDB to an existing data file (parquet, csv, json with this new release, etc.) and either import/copy the data into DuckDB t

I thought what they meant was just "you are laid off not because you had performed poorly". Of course, it is still the CEO's decision to over-hire, but the parent suggested that over-hiring was not CEO's fault either, b

If CP were to be compared to virus, then all households would have some. New virus emerge naturally all the time, the same cannot be said for CP. Also things can go wrong just due to bad luck. Someone's home caught fire doesn't n

Do people agree that corporations should respect the customs and values of the local people when operating their business there? If yes, then Amazon is not "bowing", and it is The Guardian who is playing word games here. If not,
