In a circle, you're in an accelerating reference frame and in theory your body can't tell the difference. The amount of exercise you would have to do to even begin to remotely keep up with earth's gravity is insane. Separatel

That's an interesting question, how does the YJIT perform using the original code? Does it find the optimizations that it results in the same gain such that you don't actually need to personally know the optimization?

I'm pretty naive so please forgive it's a stupid question. To me, what the parent comment is saying is that even though the benchmarks are cool, it's not super helpful to the every day person. Because if you can't chat w

Hidden Figures is probably the most well known glimpse into why women knew how to code at the start. It was considered menial and pure task oriented to actually execute out the equation.

I recognize that and am starting to wonder if that's actually humane.

by irjustin 3y ago
The nihilist asks - why does that matter for having kids? Is it humane to subject the vast majority of the future human race to taxes, inflation, menial jobs, so we can satisfy our curiosity?

I'm not advocating suicide or anything of that form. I'm asking, why should the majority of the world have kids given that life is largely a struggle and in so many places of poverty an extremely difficult one?

I'm late and not sure who will read this, but I've ended up at the "why do we have kids?" question. Honestly speaking from someone who has 2 beautiful little girls and very squarely middle class life with all its ups and

You have to show that you were already working on it independently which is effectively establishing prior art and you are literally it. How do you do that? beyond my pay grade.

Not sure if you have kids, but I am guilty of this. I used to think exactly like you, especially leading up to the birth of our first. You see in restaurants the parent glued to their phone and the child happily doing whatever. It is sad, e
