I agree with you. Function overloading is just as bad as operator overloading.

You could argue that there is just one type (tensor) with some invalid operations between its values (e.g., when dimensions mismatch). Just like integer division by zero.

You still have cstdio, which is perfectly cromulent. There's also a format-like thing using integers surrounded by curly braces, but it's horrific and I'm afraid to copy-paste it here.

#include <print> int main() { std::print("hello, world!\n"); return 0; } So, it has come to this. Much better than overloading bit-shift operators for input/output.

Ten lines? Why so complicated? Back in my day we did it with just two lines: mov al, 13 int 10 And then you pushed your pixels to the video segment (a0000). So simple and elegant... But my dad still mocked me because it was

They are often constructed that way. Aperiodic lattices in the plane arise from projection of the periodic grid in R^5 into an inclined plane (with irrational coefficients). Now in R^5 you have the famous Poisson summation formula, that sa

This blog has nice stories, but what really does it for me are the cute interjections using random conlangs. Here it was a well-known one, but I recall having seen some toki pona another day (can't find it now).

Why would you commit the outputs into git? That would be like committing compiled binary objects or pdfs. Of course the outputs are useful, but you just want to commit the sources. The .ipynb stores inputs and outputs together in an unhol

Curious that they discuss several options, but ignore the totally obvious one: just use jupytext [0]. Jupytext is a (tiny) jupyter extension that reads/writes notebooks as python files, with text cells being represented as comments.

Self-closing tags are an inconsequential issue. Of actual practical consequence are optional html5 tags [0]. They allow you to write html by hand as easily as if you wrote markdown. Some graybeards even say that optional html5 tags make

I love this style (avoiding multiple-statement blocks) ! Sometimes you can still avoid multiple statements by rearranging your code otherwise. For example, in your case, you can set *result=0 at the beginning of the function. Other times,

You can also eliminate the constant in some of the integral formulas by using đx instead of dx. I'm surprised the author does not propose this. However, some constants will still remain. Most conspicuously, the 2π constant in the ve

> it seems that being nicer would solve this whole problem I agree 100%. Being nice is the best and solves nearly everything. Problem is, COCs give undue power to some non-nice people via "enforcement committees" and whatnot.

One of the landmarks of civilization is that people who utterly hate each other can still work together for a common good. This, my dad taught me as a kid and I cherish it as a core principle. I like civilization, after all. Being hateful

This is exactly what jupytext gives you. The "pairing" is optional (and sometimed confusing). You can just work with .py files as notebooks and never ever see a .ipynb on your disk again. The notebook .py files are just regula
