This is a misleading statement. There is consensus that there are no traces of gene editing in the virus. But this statement is not equal to "it wasn't produced in the lab".

As a systems Erlang designer who worked for 2 of the biggest Erlang companies in the market, I can assure you that Erlang/OTP is not some magic pixie dust that suddenly makes all the distributed systems problems go away. Playing is one

To commenters who compare work of programmer with the work of civil engineer: There is an explanation to this discrepancy. Risk = probability of fault * cost of fault. Programmers usually work with the data. Data has a pretty very unique pr

This was a showstopper for me back when I decided to go with posteo.net instead. Well, better late than never, hopefully their service will become useful for more people.

There is another positive side effect of limiting customization to reasonable levels. Default Emacs shortcuts are hidden everywhere. Most importantly, bash understands them, as well as many other REPLs (erlang, ghci, julia, ...). Developing

As far as I know, in Swedish å does not have any ambiguity and is always read as "o" (as in "ocean"). My point is that different people pronounce things as they are used to, reflecting it in a writing system leads to com

That's not what you said in the original post. Also I would appreciate if you stop downvoting my posts, as I believe input from a native speaker may be valuable to someone.

This diagram doesn't show semigroup and monoid. Although these structures aren't used in physics much, I find them very useful for understanding groups.

I specifically mentioned in my post that problems related to _proof search_ are undecidable. Coq's tactics for proof search are unreliable. They rely on timeouts and tend to fail ("omega can't solve this system"). So you

This argument has been risen and dismissed in this thread already, no need to repeat.

No. In CIC I can prove that, say, some property is valid for _any_ natural number. Your "memory is bounded" argument is invalid, as formal proofs can go beyond that.

...Also I think you don't realize that formal inductive proofs can easily reason about programs operating with unbounded memory.

This technically correct comment would be actually useful, if it linked a fully automated prover, that is capable of proving any property of a program that fits in N bytes. If you remove infinite tape, you go from undecidable to "just&

I have long since learned that dismissing languages based on their syntax is very punitive, as novel and powerful languages very often come with unfamiliar syntax. Syntax is the least difficult thing to learn. Things like type system, appro

Very true. Two years ago I fully switched to qwant and DDG, and never looked back. It's not because these two engines are great, it's because Google's output is as good as random.

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity. By delaying the response they made their bottom line sink exponentially deeper.
