I wouldn't bet on the "true" part in philosophy. More like nonsensical.

I.e. it isn't a drop-in replacement. There is nothing wrong about a language not being good at something. When you want to have everything, you get C++. And working with C++ is just sad.

You're mostly right, with one (or two) exception: > Matrices and linear algebra . This isn't abstract algebra. It's used in abstract algebra, but that's true for linear algebra in almost any branch of mathematics. Al

You're describing an issue specific to US ISPs. It doesn't apply to Europe. From what I read even before the pandemic the US ISPs offered rather crappy services. In Europe, particularly in Poland, I don't have and haven'

Not implementing the feature described in TFA sounds rather trivial. I'd dream for other problems to be as trivially-solvable as "not doing something".

My bank lets me download bank statements in several formats, CSV among them - not entirely plain text, although embedded in it; seems like the best choice for the usecase.

You can phrase useful advice in a "non-advicy" way. E.g. "here is how I do it..." instead of "it's better to do it this way/you should do it like this". This form sends an implicit message "there

When people take the square root of a number during working with real numbers, they almost always mean the non-negative root. It's a convention. Only when they start considering complex numbers, this convention breaks, and the square r

In this case it's justified, because there is no ambiguity. Just as a mathematician would write using traditional notation without parentheses. At the courses I attended in group theory, module theory etc. we were always required to pr

A lot of these things were established long before mathematicians started talking about functions, let alone give a robust definition of what a function is. It may have obscured the fact that these things are very similar to each other. At

Both... at the same time? I.e. they are associative? If only one at a time, then perhaps there is. But TBH I can't think of an example from the top of my head right now.

This is a problem of the model of polymorphism a language has. It's orthogonal to the function/operator distinction. It doesn't arise based on having this distinction or not. In Haskell you use typeclasses (you can think of t

No. That assumes that "add" is left-associative, i.e. it expands to add((add(x, y), z)). It's not obvious.

I much prefer languages which simply do not make a distinction between functions and operators. This distinction seems useful only in the context of lower-level languages like C where the operators translate directly to single machine code

You forgot about heapsort. It's a combination of three sorting algorithms, not two. However trivial the difference may seem, I'd still prefer to look at a "C introsort vs C++ introsort" benchmark than a "C quicksort
