JS has built-in syntax to do just that. It's in fact much less painful than making a deep copy.

The constants are enormous enough that you'd never want to use these algorithms in practice - for now, at least. There's a key problem that uf resolved would allow quite efficient implementations of this family of algorithms even

I spent some (too many) months looking into this domain so I can maybe give some context. The astonishing improvement here is that we can compute exact flows in almost-linear time. Previous algorithms for computing almost-optimal flows in

Absolutely. Emacs is a great UX layer, only lacking a modern UI rendering layer. Would be nice to have emacs with a DOM-based rendering engine.

Awesome! Would love to chat if you find the time and learn more about how we can make this process easier; email is in my profile.

Hi all, Super excited to share what we've been building over the past few months. We are CellAware, a tool that brings automated verification from software to spreadsheets. Think symbolic execution et al, but applied to spreadsheets. O

Notable alternative for emacs users: Github supports rendering .org files, so you can have a README.org using babel (just remember to execute all code blocks before pushing).

Because they receive additional information from the environment through highly sensitive sensors producing massive amounts of information. Whereas the information you get from a cheap sensor effectively discretizes to a few bits.

You cannot conjure information out of thin air. Even with infinite data and a hypothetical wormhole CPU that runs everything in O(1) and solves the halting problem, you still couldn't do this. So to answer your question, the reason is

Usually job queue libraries provide other niceties like tight language integrations. While you could probably build a job queue with a decent API in pure postgres, it wouldn't even come close to e.g. just slapping @task in front of you

It's fairly standard practice to hack in some "green thread" behaviour using gevent or similar. It's far from perfect but gets you away from the single-process-per-request bottleneck. If it even is much of a bottleneck i

On the face of it not, no. But when you consider the immense power and versatility of it (you can do anything from setting up simple virtual envs to automatically deploying a multi-container setup on AWS), it starts to become a lot simpler

I think it's folly to try and grasp the nuances of "Dummheit" as Bonhoeffer used it 80 years ago from our modern usage of the word. It depends on how the word was used at the time. Even today it depends on context, although g
