In my experience when working with computationally heavy code (i.e. the kind that Julia targets) Numba tends to give better results than PyPy.

While I understand the argument that mining cryptocurrencies is a waste of energy, I don't understand why cryptocurrencies are any worse than keeping money in a bank. Do you keep all your money as cash? Am I missing something?

It's also a great thing to take with you if you need to check a map, check on the opening times of a shop, or check when your train is. These are things which many people do daily. While I do understand the point you're trying to

Cool, so unions in C and C++ are a kind of sum type because the variable can have one of a set of types. More usually people think of tagged unions when they think of sum types, I believe Pascal's Variant Records are an example of tagg

What languages are you familiar with? It might help with explaining the concepts. Since we're on a Go thread, I'll point out that Go's structs and tuples are both examples of product types.

How does a supercompiler differ to the optimisations that occur in a JIT compiler?

I suspect that the closest thing to the kind of modules that Graydon is talking about would be ML's modules[0], but I can't find any information on PHP7's modules so I can't speak for how similar they are (though knowing

Some people don't though. I've gone months without drinking any coffee and months drinking 5 or 6 cups a day, and I've never noticed a difference (obviously there may be a difference and I just haven't noticed it).

I understand why decimal notation returns a rational, I'm wondering why exponential notation doesn't.
432.
by Sean1708 9y ago
Exponential notation doesn't need any approximation either, xey just means x * 10 * * y, and both x and 10 * * y must be rational numbers.

I'm amazed at how simple this is! Making the triangles equilateral is one of those things which seems so simple in hindsight but I doubt it was easy to think of, were you inspired by anything in particular?

7th grade is about 13 years old, right? I think I did social geography when I was about 13, I definitely wasn't any older 14 because I didn't do GCSE geography. Edit: In case you were interested this[0] is an example of the kind o

Plus it's a pretty big leap from "I can't use my favourite screen-reader" to "blind people can't use open source".

I'm not saying it isn't a problem, I just wanted to know if I was correct in thinking that it is only a problem the first time you compile each crate (or rather each version of each crate, I think).

by Sean1708 9y ago
Do you mean something like this[0] (probably the worst possible implementation but I was in a rush)? I suppose you still have to create a "class" but you could set it up to use syntax like `V4(1, 2, 3, 4)` if you prefer. [0]: htt

What's the reasoning behind this particular example?

"Your first homework assignment of this class is to complete the William Wallace Campaign." But in all seriousness, while I do really like this idea, I have a feeling that costs of development might outweigh the benefits somewhat.

That makes sense I suppose, it's a cacciatore made with callbacks instead of chicken.
