Right... and then they got a response that they might want to ask a different question along with a suggestion of how to answer it. Now you are trying to treat that solution that is explicitly meant to answer the new question as if it were

Their comment wasn't directed towards improving the ratio. They were suggesting that the focus should instead be on the current users. I imagine this is a result of everything being so new, they think it makes sense to take some time a

I'm not sure I see the reason reality and laws must be made to match. I don't see that as something that is inherently all that valuable (if at all), and certainly not to the degree that it's worth doing whatever is easiest r

What? Rightsholders aren't going to respond to reality, so in order to let them continue to ignore it we should ramp up enforcement methods, further isolating rightsholders from being forced to deal with it? How does this make any sens

From other comments, it sounds like something called Cocalc might be of interest to you. I haven't even looked at it yet but it sounds like it does at least some of those things.

Maybe I can provide a bit of perspective on this, as I have lots of conflicting feelings about Jupyter. When I'm doing some bit of data wrangling or just exploratory work with data I quite like it - at least at first. As you pointed ou

Having done just enough robotics stuff to have used linux before (though not controlling anything even kind of large), I find this an odd notion. It's not that I think linux would go wrong for this sort of thing often, but when dealing

So I'm coming at this from the perspective of somebody that has been vegetarian for about a decade or so. I agree the bleeding bit seems pretty gimmicky, but if it helps convince non-vegetarians to give it shot it might make sense. Oth

Interesting. But as an external package it still has the issues I described as not being part of the defaults of the culture. Without that it just becomes a nice-to-have that only people serious about writing good quality, usable code are g

This is not that hard of a problem to solve to a useful level. If you want to get fancier, yeah, it gets hard. But something as simple as a syntax block that lists the interface methods would be enough for now. The fancier stuff is already

I think you need language changes no matter what. I've seen some of the previous trait packages and while extremely cool, they're insufficent for tackling this problem for a couple reasons. First, this extends deep into the core o

This seems like a good argument for improving the quality of prison food in general, rather than only allowing prisoners with access to money to improve their own situation.

I'm sure this is too late to get much visibility, but I recently looked into using Julia (for my MS thesis) and found it sorely lacking in one major way that I found unforgivable. Their type system is pretty interesting, and allows for

I mean, a canary is only as good as your trust in the people putting it out. As for the engineer/management idea,their statement revoking it was signed the same as their canary. Aside from the exceptional circumstances I described earl

While I agree the canary should be considered dead on principle, I don't find this particular argument very convincing. I think the main point here needs to be that the entire notion of a canary only works if we can count on them being

I'm not sure the comparison to the actual canary in a coal mine is particularly relevant here. Clearly that inspired the name, but beyond that... Assuming it is a good comparison - if you are the one in the coal mine and the carnary ke

I'm not sure why you wouldn't. You're spending a significant chunk of your time at the office. If you are uncomfortable all of that time it's a significant issue. I mean if your job only allowed you to sit on a small unp

For me, yes. Even at 65 I'm very happy wearing shorts and tshirts.

Meanwhile you have people like me. I'm are already uncomfortably hot no matter how I'm dressed (or not) at 78. Even in shorts and a tshirt, most offices are warmer than I'd prefer. This may be my own biases at play here, but
