There are so many great mathematical PDFs available for free on the Internet, written by academics/educators/engineers. A problem is that there is a huge amount of overlap. I wonder if an AI model could be developed that would do

Think about the way each alternative branch of a Rust "enum" can model arbitrarily nested data. That's completely different from the things in Go and Python that are called "enums".

From 20 years experience, it's spot on. What's wrong with telling the truth rather than being a salesperson?!

The idiocy of reforestation programs planting non native species is one of the most depressing things about climate change.

I don't understand psychological tests at all. People who want to believe they are at risk of burnout will answer questions in that direction. Isn't the whole field an obvious sham?

You just have this absurd American belief that the world will be improved by you evaluating people and paying them accordingly. Like most absurd American beliefs (like that members of the public should carry guns) the falseness of it can ea

I think there are at least two major threads to this, both important: (1) Is there meaningfully distinct and circumscribable medical condition that is diagnosable and merits its own name, and merits people being told they "have X"

Perhaps my accusations are more against the set of humans that in practice are diagnosed with dyslexia, than against the existence of a set of humans that in theory it would be reasonable to diagnose with dyslexia. But what happens in pract

No, in fact you're quite wrong there. It's a hotly debated topic with sufficient numbers, and respectability of protagonists, on the side that questions dyslexia for it to be wholly inaccurate to refer to it as a fringe belief. Of

Everyone seems to be missing the point here. The SO post says: > As we can see, even from the correct distribution, the likelihood is very, very small. Thus, it appears to be very unlikely in a certain sense that these numbers came from

Taxi driverand barber are less clear, but think about doctor: we’re not qualified to evaluate doctors. Sure there’s the human touch side of their work but in general specialists need to be evaluated by specialists in their field. And I thin

Dude, performance-related pay is not our concern. People should just be paid. I think you need to step back and consider why you're so obsessed with _judging_ people in addition to them being paid? Now, if you're American, you mig

GP said "demonstrated"; you even quote them. They didn't say "discovered".

I really really don't want to tip Uber/Lyft drivers: 1. Taking away the hassle of thinking about the tip is one of the major advantages of the technology. 2. I don't approve of US tipping culture. It shouldn't be up to m

That was what I was worried you'd say. So it doesn't seem like your question is about Python at all, and all your criticism of Python seems entirely unjustified. What you're actually saying is "I have to work in a langua

Can you give an example of what you consider a good solution in a different language? That will help us see exactly what you're looking for and how/whether it might be achieved in Python.

This all depends on whether you believe in merging unfinished work to master, or whether you believe features should be completed and tested before merging. Personally I'm in the latter camp, but some of the big tech companies seem to
