Interesting data point, my impression was that they were used quite a bit in Haskell but I’m no expert. They are ubiquitous in Python, providing an extremely expressive means to construct lists, sets, maps, and generators. JS map and filter

Have you considered that there might be methods that you are not aware of for inferring whether a region of DNA has phenotypic consequences? There’s a huge literature on this. I can’t believe you’re so arrogant as to imagine that you can ju

I don’t understand why javascript developers aren’t calling for comprehensions, like python/haskell (and standard mathematical set theory notation).

Actually no, that's not the intellectual level at which any science is performed, let alone population genetics and molecular genetics. Do you perhaps see the irony in making such a grotesquely arrogant suggestion yourself? People work

The main lesson here is do not, if you can possibly avoid it, accept a job at a company with a level of engineering quality as low as described in the article. You probably won't get fired or taken to court; the main problem is that yo

I have no evidence for this but I wonder whether, in the more sexist/male-dominated society of the 70s and early 80s, it was more common for doctors to deliver reports to men that did not question their own "virility" when as

Links like that are just PR fluff written by university admin/funding departments. We should hardly ever link those; link the actual research paper instead: https://academic.oup.com/humupd/article/23/6&#x

I found one paper describing one case. Is that what you're referring to? If so I'm guessing you haven't had much exposure to biology -- definitions always have counter examples in biology. The important thing is to have simpl

Use iTerm2 and set the “hotkey”. That gives instant switch to terminal with one key. Can you give other examples of command line app problems or keyboard driven workflow problems you’re having? I expect people here will be able to show you

If you live in a city you don't need a printer. Just go to an office store or whatever. Their printer will work, it won't cost much, and you'll probably appreciate the exercise.

Not at all. If someone says "I have two peer-reviewed manuscripts ready for publication: one proving fermat's last theorem in 10 lines and one proving that P=NP in 5 lines" then it is fine to say "You are lying". I

I disagree with your moderation here dang. The poster simply made the claim that two statements made were deliberately factually untrue (aka a "lie"). The poster did not say "You are a lier"; the attack was on the untrue

I wouldn't use the word "confused" because it sounds derogatory. But substitute that with "trans women are men who feel that they are female", and that's a perfectly reasonable point of view isn't it? You

No, you must surely can see that these are not symmetric: no-one questions whether gayness exists, and no-one questions whether people exist who identify with a gender that's not their birth sex. But there's HUGE disagreement acro

Can you post a link to what you’re referring to? I don’t think I was aware that there were fertile XY females in humans. But in any case, the point is that biology is messy and always has rare exceptions. As an engineer I’m sure you appreci

Python is ubiquitous in machine learning and data science, and it is also heavily used for server-side web applications. The fact that you only use it for scripting isn’t relevant to how the language should evolve given its usage by humans

JSON, protocol buffers, thrift, etc. Saving python-native objects such as functions, class instances etc is usually not the right thing to do in production code.

Yes! Exactly that's the point. Biology's complicated, of course there are edge cases. That in no way alters the fact that the core concept is that a woman is an XX human. Re infertility, don't be silly. Yes I didn't w

Oh, OK, sounds like you know more about it than me. I'm just talking about the position of retaining a concept of women meaning humans with two X chromosomes who can bear children, and being a feminist meaning recognizing that the grou

I hope this doesn't need saying, but it's the activists I am criticizing -- the majority of whom are not trans. I have no criticisms whatsoever of anyone on the basis of their gender identity or sexuality. But yes, if the activist

The definition being used is in the first sentence of my post. Yes perhaps it's non standard, but "TERF" is a pejorative invented by pro-trans activists.
