In your description, it sounds like building a fence around a hungry tiger. I think, understanding those impulses and directing them into a useful way is a healthier approach.

We are social animals. Raising one person takes a lot of work from their parents, caregivers, teachers, friends -- "It takes a village to raise a child", proverb says. This is why just letting someone fall off the cliff (on their

I think, in some areas math language is more appropriate, in the others programs and algorithms are more appropriate. There is not wonder that a machine learning or a computer vision idea might be more accessible as an algorithm program, bu

Yeah it depends on the particular theory. Say, if you want to implement some physics model as a computer simulation. Often, physics is presented as a set of interconnected of equations (some are general, some are based on assumptions, repre

But is it correct to call it a Chinese artwork, because it is found in the territory of modern China? 13K years ago is long time, and there could be different ethnic groups living in that territory, which might be or might not be related to

I think, plagiarism also harms the character. If instead of doing things right and put effort, you cheat, eventually you learn that doing things right does not worth it. And then it becomes a personal trait, so to speak.

So does it imply that Amazon are not ready yet, so instead of saying "wait wait for one more year (please?)" they try to make a publicity stunt pretending to be good citizens?

Actually, I know Ruby messes up its functions this way: def f() x = 1 def g() return x end g() end puts f() undefined local variable or method `x' for main:Object (repl):6:in

What do you mean by lexically scoped functions? A nested function? My point is that instead of reusing the term closure, one could use the term anonymous function. To rephrase my question: Do you have a specific example where a nested funct

But such a closure block is a function (it might be sugared like a ruby block or something like that, but it remains a function that captures its environment, thus implementing lexical scoping). Well, okay, if a language does not normally h

The documentation says: > Closures are self-contained blocks of functionality that can be passed around and used in your code. Closures can capture and store references to any constants and variables from the context in which they are de

Your argument is weak. Popularity of a language does not correlate well with the average knowledge of the users of the language. OCaml and Scheme are both very old languages. The original dialect of OCaml (Robin Milner's ML) was create

A lot depends on the programming language used in the online tech materials. It's very hard to find anything worthy in Python or JS, because for many people it's their first language, and "teachers" are only one lesson a

I agree that rendering graphics as a separate file is fine. I think, if one wants to get better interoperability with TeX, they can try to make Penrose produce TikZ, which can be then embedded into the TeX document.

Not everyone is able or willing to develop large-scale open-source community/project.. Also, mono is a much large and more significant project that runs on Linux, not a Windows app.

Maybe, purple links can make a new visitor think that they have visited this site before, so potentially it increases trust in the website and the company.

But then any more or less complex code that involves conditions will be spread over multiple functions. Even if that makes it testable, it might become incomprehensible very quickly. Edit: If code needs certain number of conditions, they wi

Based on the title, I thought it is a new machine learning paper from China on removing facial hair and respirators/masks from photos.

I think, it's a means of fighting the eventual complexity of Haskell types. When you cannot write your boilerplate code yourself any longer. But then the solution is also a cause of your problem.

Very nice practical and modern textbook for OCaml. I were using it last year to teach this subject at my school. Here are my additional notes and exercises, if you are interested: https://a-nikolaev.github.io/fp/

Yeah, technically yes, but the poster above refers to the primary colors used in arts, which are red, blue, and yellow. They do represent subtractive colors magenta, cyan, yellow.

Red, blue, and yellow are subtractive primary colors. E.g. if an object absorbs(subtracts) red light, then under white light it looks green (blue+yellow remained). This is how colors work in painting. On the other hand, your monitor does no
