> Almost by definition, if you are in the state of mind to consider suicide, you are probably not accurately and impartially weighing the question proposed I just don't believe that. How did you arrive at that conclusion?

It just generates video, though, doesn't it? How are you going to get usable assets out of that?

My answer will probably be unsatisfying to you: it's needed when you have enough confidence that all your other options are worse. That depends highly on individual circumstances and values, and not much more can be said in general.

Well, you need a fallback in case "just get rich" doesn't work out.

I'm not recommending suicide per se, but it's there if it's needed. Anyway, if you want your comment to be more applicable to an international audience, consider linking to findahelpline.com in addition to the National Suicid

Material Design 3's "motion physics system" uses damped harmonic oscillators, too. The parameters (undamped angular frequency omega0 and damping ratio zeta) they use are on this page: https://m3.material.io/st

I didn't think it was that controversial a statement. For example, Wikipedia says:[0] > Rust's syntax is similar to that of C and C++,[43][44] although many of its features were influenced by functional programming languages su

No, sorry, in case I wasn't clear, I was talking about manual deallocation. I wasn't talking about a garbage collector. You still allocate and free cells. Here's an example of what I am talking about: https://doc

I usually prefer compiling it to HTML or SVGs, but sometimes, if you have a lot of math on your page, bundling MathJax can take up less space. (Not sure if that'd still be true after compression.)

by creata 1y ago
For rendering math to HTML+CSS or SVGs, you can just use Node.js and MathJax. I'm not sure why you'd want Babel. (You can probably use KaTeX, too, but I prefer the look of MathJax's output.)

> just reach for a GC library for those cases Imo a GC needs some cooperation from the language implementation, at least to find the rootset. Workarounds are either inefficient or unergonomic. I guess inefficient GC is fine in plenty o

by creata 1y ago
That's true (with some qualifications), but everyone seems to continue using C and C++ for everything, even for applications like text editors, where the performance of a GC language would presumably be good enough. I wonder why.

I think there are two other big differences that also helped Rust become popular: * Rust has a C++-flavored syntax, but OCaml has a relatively alien ML-flavored syntax. * Rust has the backing of Mozilla, but I don't think OCaml had com

I had the impression that SML was more popular in academia, and OCaml in industry. Old but funny comparison: http://adam.chlipala.net/mlcomp/

Haskell can have circular references because its laziness is implemented with thunks, which have a mutable cell in which to store the computed value so that terms don't get evaluated more than once. Here's a Haskell function tha

Yes, either is sufficient, I think. Edit: I think the common idea with both solutions is that our objects have some weak order (the order in which their types were defined, and the time at which the object was created, respectively), and ob

One solution is to forbid recursive data types - e.g., require every struct type to only reference types that have already been defined. I can't think of any languages that do this. Another solution is to make things immutable (like Er

An affine type system is one in which some things don't have contraction, not one in which nothing has contraction.
