American here. We started with the group theory and vector space approach, though the group theory was fairly limited to just enough for vector spaces as there was a separate set of algebra classes. It's not universal.

Not necessarily. Most gatekeeping institutions outside of education works fairly well. The Bar, the AMA, PE exams, etc.

I think you're misinterpreting his statement. I think he's saying that the actions of the university are not an excuse.

Is there any work on long-term implantable technology? Not necessarily cranial, just in general as a precursor. As far as I'm aware, the body eventually rejects or forms limiting scar tissue around pretty much all foreign bodies, with

There was a recent article on having your website be entirely statically regenerated except for a select few components that require interactivity: shopping carts, comments, etc. That way, your entire site is basically live just on a CDN, i

Does anyone know if Keybase's data retention policy actually deletes the data if I delete my account? I don't want to delete it if it is just a soft delete.

An XPS 13 isn't a high end laptop? What are you doing that requires that kind of power? It sounds like an amazing build, but definitely not needed for most tasks. The XPS 13 seems a little wasteful in the setup. You could practically d

Static linking is more ergonomic for developers. Dynamic linking is a better use of user resources, which is sort of ergonomics. To say one metric should be king without context is missing the point.

Both are relevant. To their point, each additional maintainer is also a hidden dependency of each package, so the number of packages is relevant.

He might just be wrong: https://github.com/uutils/coreutils The only reason he might still be right is if they don't aim to be POSIX-compliant. The page doesn't explicitly call out compliance as a goal, but g

I don't think the position of the language teams is that static linking is better than dynamic linking. I think that static linking is a significantly easier target for a relatively new language whose _novel_ features make it difficult

We can't even effectively model basic chemistry. We can't a priori tell you what color a chemical will be, much less many of its other properties.

icdiff is my current favorite. This does look nice, though I'm a little confused by the choice to highlight the section below the function declaration change even though it doesnt appear to have a change.

Yes, that was their intent. But the over-lawyer-ification and impracticality of opting out of corporate terms of service is an widespread problem. This is an interesting expansion of that problem, so it deserves highlighting.

You can absolutely use NixOS without understanding what the article goes through. For example, I use NixOS and I don't know any of this (but I'm looking forward to learning it). For example, on other *Nixes, you install and uninst

This seems to conflate ownership/responsibility with admitting a flaw in yourself. If someone points out a bug, I say thank you. People make mistakes. I am a person. I make mistakes. This is not controversial, it is expected. We should

It spiked to the regulatory max of $5, which hit me while I was at work. I still saved money compared to most other energy plans in my area. Though yes, it would have been better if I could have adjusted.

Most new tech is of this form. https://www.bosch-sensortec.com/news/smartglasses.html uses something like <5uW or something crazy low. If the hardware caps out at a safe power, you'll probably be fine.

That might be a stronger way of putting it than I would. The canonical example is iterator chains with complex logic compiling down into vectorised and unrolled loops. Powerful logical abstractions are used by the compiler to generate code

Graphics is not the primary problem. The DirectX family of APIs also supports audio, input, networking, and other useful things that are in many ways far more difficult to make work across all platforms, at least historically. So in some se
