Well I find hard to sympathize with the people saying that horrible abuse will not be moderated because "free speech", yet mentioning the fact that you use other social media apps will get your account banned as "unpaid self-

How can they brag about freedom of expression and then forbid promoting their competitors through their site? [1] They are well within their rights to do so, but that's the exact opposite of competing purely in the market of ideas. 1.

Markdown supports images, so .md files may have them. What does it show when it finds an image? Does it show the image caption, or the full image link?

There are cells, but they are not atomic but decomposeable. Each cell in level N is the stable pattern of gliders arranged into a square shape in the lower level N-1. If you think about it, this is how "objects" in the real world

True, those are not more verbose, but are merely list enumerations, not comprehension, which bundles multiple generators and tests within the same structure, e.g.: [(x, y) for x in [1, 3, 5] for y in [2, 7, 8] if x < y] It's a singl

That's the usual way to read it, yes. The point is that you can then ask it e.g. to "find a tuple where x > y", and later expressions will be evaluated only for tuples that meet this condition. In logic programming it&#x27

I would expect "y" to remain unbound, as in "not enough information". When evaluated, the "if" expression is added to the "knowledge store", so that it will be evaluated when "x" is bound el

Haskell has been enormously influential in the study of types; modern high-level type checkers are built using knowledge from these studies.

I see using the choice syntax as PROLOG-esque, rather than Python-esque. When you are building simple structures to iterate upon, it makes sense to use the more readable comprehension syntax, where you define a list or set of items and thei

My take, in short: imperative programming is too fragile for the use case of the metaverse, and functional programming is too mathematical. In a context where you want to have software built by different independent developer teams working

It is, but maybe it is simply imitating tutorials where "cat file.txt" writes the same content that was on the same page in a command "echo text > file.txt" above. In other words, language models are really good a

The fun is in the lack of wit; when you tease it, it keeps giving perfectly logical and unemotional answers, even if it is not the right tone for the conversation.

The bus arriving is a natural break point for ending the conversation, I'd say. There's no social obligation to keep talking once you are both are busy boarding the bus and finding a seat, so it's a good time to say farewell.

Math is necessarily consistent because, when we find inconsistencies, we remove them, so they are no longer valid math. Math is but a language to express your thoughts in a very precise and rational way. When you find out that two of your c

It's a programming language where every written program terminates. As a corollary, such languages can't be Turing complete, since universal Turing machines can represent programs which don't terminate. [1] https:/&#x2F

Businesses are not built on things they sell, they are built on the customer problems they help solve. If you build microprocessors, you better understand how your clients are using them to create electronic devices, and provide all the ser

To expand the insight, you may see this video about Wavelets which relates them to the Fourier transform. It explains wavelets as an intermediate point between pure waves (all time, no frequency representation) and the Fourier transform (al

Main problem is that most new commercial AI systems usually aren't really designed to let the human take over. There's a closed loop with a front-up designed experience, and the only option in case of failure is to stop using the

Me too, here. It was a significant reassurance, and I was later disappointed to learn that the PC operating system did not have that same quality that earlier microcomputers had.

I think the best strategy to make it intuitive would be to flatten the redo stack as a single command, so that the pile of successive 'undo's gets redone as a single step. In your example: Type "hello" Type "w

That's it. You can think of an undo operation U at time (t) as a new simple command that rolls back the content to a previous version (t-x). If you undo that U operation, it's a new command U' that restores content again to v

If you're only adding content, undo removes the most recent content inserted. But that's a very limited case of everything that undo can achieve.

Note that if you delete something and press Undo, it restores the content that was there before removing it. The "branching undo" in the article extends the concept to being able to recover things that were at some point in your &
