I think the main reason is that there is no _actual_ problem that OP needs to solve. If there was one, then he would get pragmatic and figure out one of the reasonable solutions to this and move on with his life. Though it's true that

in parts of Europe you can use Revolut, where you can choose whether to enable or disable contactless payments, chip and pin, ATM withdrawals and online payments, depending on what you want to use the card for. You can even keep all of them

This looks nice. One thing though - you should consider using strings instead of numbers for the amounts. The problem is that numbers in JS are actually floats, and you lose precision on high values. Probably not going to make a big differe

Shameless plug for my http://dedo.io/ , which is similar to this this, but with less features, more money-oriented and support for any custom units, e.g. if bag_weight = 12 kg / bag, then 10 bags * bag_weight is 120kg

Why is everyone working on style transfer? It doesn't seem like such an interesting problem in the field, compared to things like speech recognition for example. Is it just because it's a "cracked" problem and it looks n

Is there a way to let the algorithm not make a guess if it doesn't find a strong match? I guess it would be better to not output anything than to output gibberish, right?

Well you can't really. If you want to write frontend apps, for example, you have to use JS. You could technically use some FPLang-to-JS compiler, but those suck more often than not. Also, I don't see how "let's not make

It's very interesting how our eyes and brain processes colors differently -- for example, I see a lot of green and blue, but less red (though this is probably due to having a mild case of Protanomaly I suppose).

Another one that I find useful -- using `map` instead of list comprehensions when you want to apply a function to every element. So instead of: [str(x) for x in array] Do this: map(str, array)
