One thing that I have seen in the Julia ecosystem, where multiple dispatch is pervasive, is that function names can get away with only being verbs. Without dispatch, you often see an approximation by baking in (Hungarian notation) the name

In case your point is that using "less" instead of "fewer" for countable nouns is an example of unclear communication, let me disagree with the point.

Julia is unique in using multiple dispatch pervasively. It did not invent multiple dispatch, but it certainly popularized it.

You did not have to do it every single time. There are many changes you can make that are handled correctly by Revise.jl

The factory pattern in Java exists because a type / a class is not a "first-class" concept. You can't pass around a class so that it gets constructed at some other point. Python (which I believe inherits from Smalltalk)

I believe this is where the "Ambiguity Function" comes in. For a given waveform, it tells you the ambiguity between Doppler shift and time delay.

I think you underestimate the scale of data these models are trained on by many orders of magnitude.

There is no good syntax to specify what part of an arbitrary image should be highlighted.

I agree. Graphical animations (even to highlight text, tables, figures) is such an essential part of communicating in a slide show, and I have not found a tool that achieves both separation of content and style while allowing convenient des

IIRC, forward error: the error between the given answer and the right answer to the given question. Backward error: the error between the given question, and the question whose right answer is the given answer. Easier to parse like this: a

If x is the interval [-1, 1], the typical implementation of IA will evaluate x-x to [-2, 2] (instead of [0, 0], and evaluate x*x [-1, 1] instead of [0, 1]. Therefore the intervals become too conservative to be useful.

I really wish the Spintronics chain was compatible with Lego Technic chain and gears.

> For a twice larger "spin resistor", then, the equilibrium torque would be twice as large, and intuitively, the chain speed would be half as fast. For the twice-larger resistor, the torque is the same, and the speed is half as

The only reason, in my eyes, to use CSV is to have easy interoperability with spreadsheet software. If you want streaming: https://jsonlines.org/

No, it can't be. This function has compact support, the Gaussian clearly does not. You get a Gaussian by repeated convolution of the same function (and normalizing the width). The equivalent question to what I asked is what's the

I'd like to know what function this converges to: rect(x) • rect(x/2) • rect(x/4) • ... Where • is the convolution operator. Unlike the series in the video, 1 + 1/2 + 1/4 + ... converges. So this function has compac

What important property of DFS is missing if you just replace a stack with a queue?

What I don't understand is how much technique assumes of the local oscillators on the recording device, which also vary.

I don't see how radians come into the discussion of torque and energy, both of which are N*m in SI. That discussion has to do with the failure of SI to notate the directions of vectors. When it's torque, the N and the m are at a r

Because I didn't see it mentioned yet, this is the same feature that makes the small-angle approximation of sin elegant: sin(x) ≈ x .

Everyone should have fun all the time is not really a realistic goal, period. I don't think playing games is universally fun either. Games can be quite boring. Games do often promote the concept of winning and losing, however.

GCC is less opaque (less of a black box) than these language models.
