Interfaces would be a welcome addition to Julia. But I don't think that Python is exactly a flagship of good language design.

I made the mistake of buying one once. It was basically the repacked language documentation without adding anything of value. If they would publish that, the will publish anything.

Off-topic, but that is a really nice personal page, I really like the design :)

What is the "joke" here? Making of fun of uninteresting languages with vague descriptions and lots of unsubstantiated claims? This is C# and a snippet of F# and the "docs" redirect to Dotnet docs.

Reading a PDF on my phone is not something I am going to do. So it helps if it's tagged, I will skip it or maybe open it later from my computer.

I bought the ReMarkable 2 when it was released. The hardware is beautiful (as well as the packaging and presentation). The software was pretty underwhelming, but they seem to be speeding up and fixing glaring deficiencies. For my use case,

I gave it a try with a couple of calls of a framework which I have written and I suspect is littered with bad practices. Not sure what to make of the results, since most of the time seems to be spent here: [1] 79% => poptask(W::Base.Inv

The only way to do 3-4 hours workouts daily is to take performance enhancing drugs. Those hired dieticians are controlling diet, workout and drug regime.

Why do you feel like that about Coffeescript?

What do you find outdated about Kobos? I find them pretty much perfect. And the constant software updates make them even better. Mine is a couple years old and has an embedded light that automatically adapts warmness throughout the day.

National identity is a social construct. Spain has always been the sum of several national identities. This has of course created frictions, but there wasn't the push that order countries had to eradicate those identities when the birt

That's such a ridiculous claim that I have to assume you are spaniard. Spain is actually a pretty average EU country by most metrics. (Not to say that it doesn't have structural problems, but that's hardly exclusive to Spain)

I had the pleasure of starting your book a few days ago and I am really impressed. Every aspect of it is excellent: it feels comprehensive but easy to read, the content is very well-organised and the illustrations are very nice. I will defi

I invite you to reread my comment, as I do not talk about whether the UK having Gibraltar is legitimate or not. I simply pointed out that as far as I know and as per the treaty, it doesn't have surrounding waters. This is not something

I would say that despite some outlandish claims by ISIS and the likes, Morocco is not really planning to try and take back the iberian peninsula.

by amval 7y ago
Morocco constantly sometimes makes claims over territories that don't belong them. Usually small islands of no use to anyone. Probably a play on nationalist feelings, quite stupid. Despite this theater, Morocco and Spain have a benefit

Spain is not very religious.Even what look like religious manifestations from afar, are simply rooted in traditions/seen as culture. Very different from Italy, as far as I know. For comparison, although I am not sure how well these ref

I am not sure why the downvotes. Your comment seems to simply state facts.

Maybe not super relevant, but since I cannot contribute anything else to the discussion, here it goes: That logo is certainly lacking more marbling.

Nothing wrong with that. It leaves to us qualifying what makes the cut and what not.

While Italy, France and Spain are pretty much tied in their English proficiency (Spain might be ahead, but not significantly like Portugal), there are 4 official languages in Spain, and several regions where pretty much everyone is bilingua

How does "write \alpha to get the α symbol" remotely compares to being trained in Latex? And as pointed out, you don't need any IDEs, this is even supported in the REPL. And using a specialized editor for a language/envi

Could anyone point me in the direction of resources to learn more about probabilistic programming? (e.g.: text books, practical applications, introductory articles)

If I had to take a bet, I would bet on a combination of a shortened attention span and unknown long-term effects of technology on the brain development plus environmental factors (for example, it seems like plastics are having an impact in
