What tool do you use to read/write/modify? Do you do it manually?

The point is that freeze could work in constant time, whereas the copying takes linear time. Another alternative mentioned was `move`, which would create a frozen version in constant time and clear the original dict.

Because optimizations are not added to the PEP, but added later.

The way almost all modern LLMs work is by starting with a "thinking" phase which is explicitly not part of the output. You let that process run longer.

Of course, but they can't be on adventures 24/7, that's the point. Kids aren't supposed to have fun 24/7. It's impossible. The problem is what happens the moment the "fun" stops. If everybody reache

Math is toast if a computerized system can solve a problem you personally failed to solve during your PhD? Computers have proved stuff people couldn't since at least 1976 when Appel and Haken proved the 4-color theorem.

That's obviously not true. It significantly favor those with more money.

I've used Emacs for 20 years and I never learnt to navigate in a file except backwards and forwards search. Is there still hope for me? I think my biggest issue is that I am a slow coder and I never feel in a hurry.

It's still a yes/no question, it's just that the question is "do you have long hair". The goal of these decision trees is to have as few questions that divide the group in two balanced halves (and also recursively).

Not only are they not mutually exclusive, but if we're being honest, only idealistic programmers care enough to read Pragmatic Programmer, and they read it in the process of becoming a master.

I don't buy this argument. Sometimes something has a unique way of being interpreted, then you don't need spaces. It's the same with math and code. 2x+3=(2x)+3 != 2(x+3) Parentheses are also "sometimes significant and so

Even your own AI model doesn't buy your propaganda Let's not pretend the output of LLMs has any meaningful value when it comes to facts, especially not for recent events.

Why is the space handling "especially problematic"? It has significant whitespace, that shouldn't be problematic, should it?

One the one hand, we have Moore's law. On the other hand, kernel compilation time. Since compilation time is monotonically increasing, do we observe exponential compilation complexity in the kernel?

Smarter has nothing to do with it, see e.g. tragedy of the commons.

I agree. If you append to a string in a loop in Java, you will see quadratic behavior.
