>>> can you cite or estimate more accurate stats? No, sorry. But I don't know if the stats would fully capture what I think the difference is. Like, I remember a case of a cop who shot a teenager who was running away from him

It's just one fairly small thing on a long list of problems with how people drive in the US. Last time I checked they had about 3 times the rate of fatal accidents as the UK. There just isn't any requirement to learn how to drive

Yes you're right. But then you're doing that by analyzing the implementation, not treating it as a black box. Personally I think we (software developers) should do more of that - i.e. take implementation details into account when

I try to think of counterexamples to everything. So this function takes a number...does it work with any number? Is there one that can break it? Or such-and-such a function returns a dict, but does it always return that type? Is there any

I only skimmed this and it might be very well written, but there's a pattern I see a lot with vectors that I think should change. All over the internet we have these introductions to LA that start this way, with vectors as arrows or li

Kind of. But your conclusion is also kind of backwards: code is full of errors because it's not written very mathematically. It usually has side effects. Also, mathematicians are trained to think very carefully about the types of objec

NRA membership has been in decline for a while. Meanwhile gun ownership is through the roof, especially first time owners. Huge numbers of them identify as "liberals" and wouldn't be caught dead at an NRA convention.

Good question, but how sure are you that we don't see it? Lots of people got covid and don't experience long covid symptoms, so your argument is just as good at proving that covid isn't the cause as proving that marks aren&#x

US visas are not about where the company you're working for is based. They're all about where you are located. If you're in the US, then you can't do unauthorized work for any company, no matter where that company is loc

Are you sure about that? Can you cite some documentation/info from an immigration attorney? Most people out there seem to be under the impression that you can't do this. It's certainly the general rule that people on nonimmig

No idea what the answer to this is, but for the sake of one data point: my employer let 25 (out of 150) people go, of which 2 were SWEs, and a few more were from the data science team. Beyond that, it was product designers/managers, cx

There's a very famous book called Stick and Rudder that does a good job of explaining this. A plane stays up because of Newtonian reaction. The Bernloulli principle and its associated airfoil shape should be thought of as an efficient

Bernoullis principle isn't necessary though because there are planes with symmetric wing sections that fly just fine, not to mention the fact that planes with conventional wing sections can fly upside down. The article should probably

It sounds like your approach is ok, but here's a few things I have picked up from experience: * Always give an overview - a complete, but low-resolution version of the whole picture. Identify key parts of the picture by name and use th
