Append style programming is very interesting, especially when thinking of modelling future languages closer to natural language. This foray though seems to end up generating more problems than it's worth. For one, its not clear how thi

Apart from looking nice, I think I understood the program even less afterwards.

Climate change happens over such a large scale space (the earth!) and such a large amount of time (decades!) that makes it very difficult to really comprehend. How do you tie a heatwave to CO2 emissions from cars? All that can be given are

As someone who owned a windows phone and switched to Android, the reason was simple - no apps. Everyone would advertise the latest thing as on iPhone and Droid, windows phone literally wasn't mentioned. I can't speak to the bigger

I for one hope it works out, I like the idea of instantly loading any game I feel like playing for an hour. So what if I don't own it, it's a game. I don't any of the movies I watch on TV either.

It's cheap, and there is not enough conclusive evidence about the allegations. The US-led artificial trade war with China also gives pause when they are the accusers. If a credible EU country brought something up I'd expect it&#x2

Only thing that caught my eye is the require syntax, which is nice, but then I thought what happens if this contract fails? Its possible you'd want to return false, or raise exception, or log error, or even correct value and continue.

General relativity predicted the event horizon, but it breaks down when trying to predict what is going on in the center, as all equations go to infinity, which is likely to be more a problem with our current understanding than what is actu

As a general rule, anything javascript does should be seen as the way 'not to do things', not as something to jump on the bandwagon with. I have never dealt with a more frustrating language, ecosystem, package manager, toolset and

For me the updates always seem to reset and further reduce privacy settings. I don't want cortana or ads, and now I need to hack the registry to get rid of this stuff? What a joke.

Yeah I work roughly 45-50 hours in my financial job in London. And I'm still asked to be 'on call' at weekends. In fact some people I work with are proud to tell me they worked the whole weekend for some reason. The whole thi

To be honest this is just a repeat of two years ago, apart from now it's May not getting her way instead of Cameron. The whole thing is such a colossal failure that they need to just to give up and stop acting like this is the 'wi

I don't know, from this I can't really see the memory cost or GC impact. And the parallel statement doesn't tell me anything of the threading model. I know that I see a lot of intermediate states being created which is not so

Amazing, this blockchain technology really just keeps on giving. I have to say, it's quite entertaining to watch. It's pretty much a car crash happening in slow motion at this point. At least it provides something else to nerd jok

Behind every successful neural network is a human brain. Neural networks are a tool, an advanced tool for sure, but still just a tool. If we are looking for AGI, and assuming the brain is an AGI, then there are still many differences to res

So as much as Bret Victor is a visionary, all his ideas never scaled up to real world requirements. Additionally attempts by other groups to implement his ideas met failure, and have squandered millions of dollars by this point. I really th

As a counterpoint I work in finance and work with a group of smart people that all check their egos in at the door. It's a great place to work. We also try to turn money into more money, it's pretty much the game of life whether y
