Order doesn't matter in the sense that the observed data set is unordered (just counts of girls and boys). What matters is how many ways there are that the universe can give rise to those unordered data sets. And in fact, there are mor

Jesus. This is not complicated. Just go to a country for as long as the tourist visa will let you (often 3 months or so), and work there, and enjoy it. Don't offer to pay tax to that country unless you want to. You only get one fucking

You appear to be 5-10 years out of date. Typescript, VSCode, Lean, are all "microsoft products", and if you think they are inferior you'd have to explain that view to a lot of well-informed people. Even LSP -- the basis of sa

I thought they meant as opposed to, say, emacs where the LSP client has to be installed as a 3rd-party package (eglot or lsp-mode). As you say, the server is in a different process by definition of LSP. I don't know vim but from skimmi

by da39a3ee 5y ago
I have the exact same story. Multiple LSPs in emacs was too hard to manage and seeing as some of it was typescript, much worse than the VSCode experience. Edamagit has made a very good start at emulating magit in VSCode. Still use emacs for

Is this estimating the right quantity? Wouldn't it be more relevant to estimate the total number of years of human life lost due to covid, rather than the number of deaths attributable to covid?

by da39a3ee 5y ago
Yes, you can see the divide in the popularity of interactive notebooks like jupyter and observable. To programmers who use a standard git-based workflow, the interactive notebooks are anathema because you can't use version control to c

This is obvious but a good way to implement dry run in some settings is to obtain a read-only connection to the relevant datastore / roll back a transaction without committing, etc.

Would you be able to give a bit of context for the limitations of the new syntax that you’re pointing out? Could they be overcome (and if so why did it ship like this) or are they inevitable?

Is there any chance javascript will get comprehensions (array, set, map, generator)? I know there was a proposal a few years ago that didn't go forwards.
