That exactly describes the groping towards 'a more correct model'. Which is towards the truth, surely? If not then what?

I can't speak for this particular editor, but Visual Studio once shipped with a mode for C# I think it was, that was like a neon light show. It was unbearable. Also SSMS it has full-on intellisense or nothing at all, and having it on;

It's deffo 4 for me. I can see 4 in one shot, if it's say 5 or 6 or a bit higher I have to split the group and subitise each then sum them. YMMV and your mileage beats mine :)

I worked at a small company in London and got treated the same way: feeling left out, excluded. It took me a bit of thinking before I realised it was actually being done for my own benefit , as I was a contractor there. Had they invited me

I think I am unclear what you mean by branch coverage. I assumed it means ensuring that every 'then' and 'else' branch is taken? But if so, that means every statement must get covered, right? Put another way, you can onl

I'm also a professional dev and I 100% agree with you. Clever code is a trap. Clever coders… Well, pretty much a disaster IME. KISS

That's fine (if you document it). Repeatability may mean 'repeatability over the same program instance/minor version/major instance'. It's fine if you're clear. But ISWYM too.

Are you saying PEGs can't conflicts and ambiguities? I didn't know that.

by _a_a_a_ 3y ago
why do you believe that? Can you explain why not?

I would say that's a bug in the RNG, nothing to do with any determinism issue

Links to these whopping bugs pls? I also don't think you've justified why determinism from a seed is a bad thing.

Just turn it off. You will get a short period of withdrawal then you'll get the world as it is. I did, and while I miss some stuff, I'm better off. Don't blame "I'm hooked". It's down to you.

Exactly. And I don't understand parents who give their kids unrestricted access to the internet (inc. on desktop machines) then expect the government to regulate what the kids see. Take some responsibility like these parents.
