   Outside of math, the only place where proofs exist, you're simply mistaken. In the real world, there's no such thing as proof, only evidence, and in the world of evidence only [1]positive and thus verifiable claims suffer the bur

   Incorrect, median, mean, and mode are all types of averages. Usually when people say average they mean the mean, but they're all different kinds of averages trying to identify the central tendency. "Average: a number expressing th

    The problem with PowerShell is its syntax, not the extra features of the shell environment. Trying to expose the .Net runtime to the command line is an admirable goal for a scripting language, not a shell. It comes down to this, PowerShell

    And PowerShell is an awful shell; it's great for script automation of windows, but as a shell, just no. Microsoft recognizes this, it's the reason a full Ubuntu bash shell is available in Windows 10.

    It's a simple word, visitor; that's not fancy terminology. Giving things names is not fancy, it's practical and it aids in communicating with other people who do the same thing. You're basically objecting to the fact th

    All good points, but I think overly focusing on things that weren't really unique to Hendrix; pentatonic based riffing and soloing is certainly a staple of rock, but it was Hendrix who popularized things like the wah and octavia peda

    Of course, but those things are only a part of Hendrix's style. No one is formed in a vacuum.

    You don't have to call it anything, language doesn't work that way, but using the same words other people use makes communication more efficient. Passing in a function is vague and unspecific and doesn't fully encapsulate th

    Patterns are about giving developers a common vocabulary so they can discuss what they all do without having to go into insufferable detail each time. We all do lots of the same shit and it's extremely helpful to all use the same name

    If the ask doesn't move, and the bid doesn't move, orders will happen at both prices due to market orders from both bears and bulls; if you'd like to call that "price moving" you're free too, but I won't.

    > Liquidity means the price is stable not that trades will go through.* Stable prices prevent HFT traders from making money. No, liquidity means there's limit orders sitting on the market. That is quite literally all liquidity is.
