I don't think the parent meant to use "modularity" to mean "pertaining to a programming language's concept of modules", but rather something along the lines of "pertaining to the act of splitting something

In the same way that most people put the horizontal before the vertical for continuous cartesian stuff, but as soon as it's discrete, all hell breaks lose: – Some like to think like a matrix then, usually with row, column. – Some like

STEM make up the tools we use to understand the world. From the little things ("how can we make this engine a bit more efficient?"), through the big things ("how can we supply the world with more energy without causing global

> The 1:1 variants seem to indicate that this collection is intended more for the benefit of UI designers etc. who want all flags to have consistent shape for their designs rather than as a reference for the definitive versions of flags.

This course of events doesn't play out in math, though.

Where this goes wrong is assuming that research (i.e. the thing one does in grad school) is something that is anywhere near as amenable to "time management" as product development or engineering is. The whole point of research is

One of the reasons that Japanese is hard (for a westerner) is that all the symbols used to write Japanese text are unknown. Mathematics is expressed in logic, and that logic is most often expressed in a human language that the reader knows

> At scale, false positives are inevitable. Perhaps, but they should be treated as grave mistakes and heaven and earth should be moved to attempt to avoid them.

As long as the false positives never happen to cause great harm to you or your loved ones in particular, am I right?

What? Of course it's inherently bad! Why does the size of the community matter? Is corruption quaint if the place it's happening is small enough?!

Almost every sufficiently small unit of time here is a complete waste. However, over a longer timescale I find it useful. I kinda look at it like a webring for discovering points of view I wouldn't otherwise stumble across. And some co

This applies well to me. However, I was well into adulthood and several ruts before I realized I have an additional weakness: I'm (almost always) unable to change perspective without the help of others. I don't mean that I need to

I think they meant that the point is to show the blinking pattern (which is one very valuable piece of data when it comes to identifying a lighthouse).

Ditto. Bosses vary. Don't take blanket advice like "the boss is evil". The other part of the advice, namely that your colleagues will backstab you, is even more worrisome. I'd go so far as to say that if you don't h

I'm struggling to see how this pays off for them. The amount of base stations they'd have to put up and maintain seems ludicrous. Surely it'll be cheaper, in a densely populated area, to build out fiber (which the base statio

Of course they'll try to lure in as many as they can. What I'm saying is that their plan surely can't be to have most people on this kind of service in urban settings. It just won't work!

Care to make an accurate, precise critique? Because that's the kind that makes science tick, and the type that scientists take seriously.

I think the point is that they may well be used like that. Maybe not explicitly, but I bet you that any language has a user that uses string formatting to build, say, an SQL query that is then passed as a string to the SQL engine.
