   I'm having a hard time thinking of a way code can ever be fully decoupled from data. When we decide it's better to have a name field rather than firstName and lastName does that mean we simplify NameCalculation.fullName to just re

   Thanks, I think actually it was something else that made me re-install from F-droid, but I'm glad I can rule out the play store.

   Cool, I'll check it out. It is an extra hop, but my fdroid termux install has been blown away (along with my ssh key) several times by the play store version. So now I save my key on my pi instead. I did turn off updates from play sto

   My older mac book recently died and instead of buying a new laptop I'm using termux to connect to a droplet for side projects. I've tried two different bluetooth keyboards so far and found one I liked with back-lit keys. Also re

   Maybe it rained frogs ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rain_of_animals ) and people (being very superstitious back then) decided to bury them.

   Came here to say 'field of view'. I have a Vive and my girlfriend mentioned the "field of view" limitation, which I didn't even notice at first but now I can't unsee it. I'd love to switch to Pimax but I

   I wonder what are the perceived outcomes if you did let your kids play violent video games?

    Yeah I had the same thought. I get the feeling there are more than a few places out there posting jobs just to gather massive amounts of resumes with no intent to contact anyone.

    In the end, you can't do it all, and why would you? That would be extremely taxing. Most disciplines work with other disciplines, so pick a related cluster of disciplines. You'll get to work with them and experience some of the

    There can be quite a few techniques, theorems, and facts at play while working through any given problem. For those who are uninitiated all of these tools can be difficult to remember (long-term) and correctly apply (sometimes creatively) t

    Mathematical notation is invented but what about the patterns it describes? Did someone invent the notion of exponential growth or decay? Or did we discover this mathematical pattern in many different areas of study? Also, from Wikipedi

    Everyone is born with different privileges, traits, circumstances, and opportunities and I would separate intelligence vs skill vs knowledgeable. I meet a lot of people who think very highly of themselves because they can recite a lot of in

    If you read the article the man went several days without meat in the tundra. I'd imagine there are very few plants to gather in the winter.

    Evolution works on the scale of hundreds of thousands of years. The fact that our ancestors were peasants a 1000 years ago doesn't change most of our evolutionary makeup (maybe lactose tolerance).

    Yes, 'imaginary' numbers are invented syntax. I think imaginary numbers are just an additional tool tacked on to our existing tools in order to explore new areas. They are a patch written to cover some cases our previous tools f

    You should include weight training as one of your goals if you sit a lot. Strength training is about preventing injury and maintaining your range of motion as you age. The more muscle mass you have the less injury prone you are. Focus on

    I like the puzzle analogy but I'm not sure it holds too much weight. Didn't imperative style also kind of feel like a puzzle when you first started learning how to code? Remember those light bulbs that went off when you finally i

    I guess my earlier statement about fusing to anything given enough heat is maybe too broad. Care to clarify why it's incorrect?

    My cast-iron is perfectly non-stick (for eggs too) given I don't raise the temperature too much. In my experience, given enough heat, food will fuse to anything. If your food is sticking try cooking for longer at lower temps. Of cours

    I've been struggling with the same issue. I have a team lead who, if they have no good feedback, will fabricate an issue with my code during PR reviews, no matter how trivial. I sometimes have to take a step back and laugh. I unders
