No, I ran into the same issues with basic data structures. The dataframe wasn’t necessary, it just matched the expected input of some function I wanted to test.

I have used Python's `hypothesis` as well, and I wish it were better. We had to rip it out at work as we were running into too many issues. I have also used Haskell's `QuickCheck` and Clojure's `spec` / `test.check` and

These examples sound like things that aren’t really DSLs… Or in other words it sounds like someone is trying to make something “simpler than it actually is”. DSLs are supposed to be for making it easier to perform computation in a specific

Your point being? I think everyone understands that there are higher-order consequences of externalities, which affect many (if not all) actors. That's why people are interested in the question of whether they are priced efficiently in

It’s actually the classic textbook example. https://www.investopedia.com/terms/e/externality.asp

I’ve studied biochem for 12 years. FWIW, I think the level of dunning-kruggery here is super impressive.

I think you totally misunderstand what he is saying. You can’t make people do things with ethics. That’s not what ethics is for, and that’s not what he is talking about.

I think this is naive, because a flaw of such free market thinking is its failure to price in externalities. That’s what the relationship with the climate crisis link was about.

There’s no way Morphy at his peak would beat Magnus at his peak (and the same goes for any of the old champions)— The way chess is played today is very different. Morphy would have needed to start from scratch and re-learn the game today fr

I think this is more akin to reading the rules of a formal assembly before participating (eg.: a senate or a formal committee). These guys do chess events for a living. :shrug:

I would find that a bit surprising. Do you happen to remember where you heard him say this?

by epgui 2y ago
I would assume (but can't know for sure, of course) that Magnus receives the rules before every event, and that he probably has people to help prepare/brief him on anything he needs to know. He's not a regular participant, Ma

It doesn't really matter, regardless of whether or not we agree with the rules, jeans are clearly prohibited in the tournament: 4.10.1.3. No players with t-shirts, jeans, shorts, sneakers, baseball caps or inappropriate dress

I apologize for twisting the knife but-- the proper thing to do would have been to research the rules at the source, not to make up stuff or repeat things from third parties. Wish I had found that section earlier, but I'm less familiar

I thought it was clear from the context and phrasing that "dark-coloured pants" excluded jeans, but in case there was any doubt: 4.10.1.3. No players with t-shirts, jeans, shorts, sneakers, baseball caps or inappropriate

The rules say no such thing, and seem pretty clear to me. 4.10.1. The dress code is strictly observed for the tournament and all the official events and press conferences. 4.10.1.1. Dress code for men. Shoes: Oxfor

That one is neat, but how do you define addition and multiplication on these structures?
262.
by epgui 2y ago
I think I can see why... But the obvious question to me becomes: - What do the operations of addition and multiplication look like with this structure? Doesn't this seem a bit complex?

While I don't think it's fair to presume anything about his intentions, it's totally fair to presume he is aware of the rules. He's the world's best chess player of all time, and it's not his first FIDE event.

The only part of this that is totally implausible is the notion that Magnus wouldn't be super familiar with the rules. I'm not saying I agree with the rule or the specific way it was applied... But Magnus definitely knows the rule

I hear what you’re saying, but I don’t see any of this as standing in the way of programming. Effort and curiosity and learning are where skills and understanding come from.
