   Does anyone know if WinUI will be supported on .Net Core or since it is C++, just a linux library. The article listed several languages but omitted F#. So I also wonder about the F# story for WinUI.

   I have been wondering about the effect of the degree of initial infection. I kind of assume the virus grows exponentially inside the body and would dwarf the initial constant. If a low initial dose affects the severity of the disease, I thi

   Out of curiosity I have no idea how to approach this. Are there indexes of websites available to the public that you are suggesting that can be searched via grep or some simple scripting? Or are you suggesting writing a web crawler to build

   When I program in C++, there are lots of things one must consider. Should this be const, public/private, virtual, should I create a class, should I first create an abstract base class, should I create a factory, should I implement the

   Clojure has a focus on immutable data. With Python, a list or dictionary is mutable and with parallel execution this can result in one function mutating a list that another is using. Or even without parallel execution one may wonder if a fu

   I wanted to clarify something. The parent poster wanted to know how the 25 million case number was arrived at. I just provided an example of how such a number might be arrived at. It is far too simplistic of a model though. I have also read

   Worldometers shows CA with 1060 cases and 19 deaths. Where does ~8000 come from. If 8 weeks is 56 days and cases go up 20% a day as they have been then 1.2^56 * 1060 = 28.8 million cases.

    This line caught my eye. my_file.open(); // Error: this may fail. 1) If this can fail, then it should be a compile error to not test the result code. 2) IMHO it would be nice if there was something like Python's with stateme

    I think self driving cars should have both high dynamic range cameras and LIDAR and maybe time of flight cameras. Input from a LIDAR system would be much more likely to detect that barrier, and computer vision via a camera much more likely

    Personally, I found LYAH to be a great book. If there are places where the book is incorrect, I didn't have the background knowledge to notice. I felt the book did a good job explaining applicatives and monads by starting at the very

    There is also this Python lens library. https://github.com/ingolemo/python-lenses I can't say how they compare, but they have some overlapping features.

    I just hope we don't get to the place where basic function names are copyrighted, like add, insert, delete, remove, push, pop, sort, map, filter, foldl, foldr. I hope library writers don't have to pull out a thesaurus.

    I would hope self driving cars have better sensors. There are high dynamic range cameras that simultaneously take multiple exposures and composite them in real time. The dynamic range in this video is horrible. An HDR camera should have mad

    SNOBOL is a really interesting domain specific language. You might never use it, but knowing a little bit about it will certainly broaden your thought processes. I'm glad somebody is trying to keep it alive.

    As far as I am aware hacking the browser via malicious Javascript is still a thing. I don't mind selectively enabling it for a particular website, but I absolutely hate how every site I go to serves up Javascript from 10 different URL

    I typically try to avoid state machines. I like to have a function like model = reduce(model, event) where model is an environment of variable:value bindings. This function then just uses (if expr/else if expr) to find a condition in w

    I think there are a few really big problems. First is that nobody really knows how to build reliable software. Well, maybe somebody somewhere does, but there is no standard established method that can be studied and is known to work. Sec

    I once had to work on someone else's function that was several thousand lines long, written in 'C'. Some of the code blocks went on for pages. The code had lots of loops and conditionals. The code was nearly impossible to u

    I wish PEP 484 put more thought into backward compatibility with Python2. Currently you need to import things like Callable, Tuple and these don't exist in Python2. It is especially odd since I am using MyPy comment syntax, so MyPy ne

    Is this a mathematically sound shuffle? It removes a random element from a sorted deck and then adds the element to a new deck. Python code below: import random def shuffle(): random.seed() sorted_deck = range(52) # [0..51]
