   I had no alternative in mind. The topic at hand is security and bloat, and C/C++ might be leaner apps in practice but they are generally going to have memory safety bugs which is a security problem.

   I never mentioned rust. I’m just saying C and C++ have terrible memory safety.

   Unfortunately that comes with the baggage of terrible memory safety. I do agree with the sentiment though, that deps should be taken with more consideration.

   Proportions of things frequently follow beta distributions. I think of it as the normal distribution of the domain 0 to 1.

   I think there’s probably already enough information out there to see how pedantic the typical audience is here ;)

   I assume you mean the Pythagorean theorem, and by description you mean equation?

   Automate pushing an update every week with no changes other than a bit flipping back and forth or something. If they want to set up stupid shit then they get to get stupid shit

    It’s easier to do MCMC when the distributions at hand have nice analytic properties so you can take derivatives etc. You should also have a very good understanding of the standards distributions and how they all relate to each other

    Normal is overused for sometimes sensible reasons though. The CLT is really handy when you have to consider sums

    The 'just' doesn't belong in front of 'fork'.

    I thought this was a joke at corrupting the data intentionally

    I had a couple of classes in USA uni that worked quite similarly. The professor said we can take the quizzes if we want, and if we didn't then the later quizzes would constitute more of your grade. The ultimate play was to only take th

    I believe this is a fundamental limitation to a degree.

    I don't think it's an odd assumption at all! The lines between shell, exec calls, globbing, etc, are very blurry if you don't already know how it all fits together.

    Might be more accurate to say "Linux doesn't know about PATH, but your shell does"

    I think what he’s saying here is you can’t skip the basic math step to arrive at good performance. Staring at profiling results will lead you to a local minima

    That is not a _justification_ - merely an _explanation_ of how we got here. I fully agree that a historical understanding of how we got to where we are is essential for understanding why we have what we have. However, it's critical to

    Perhaps, but the hard part about CAD to me isn’t the interference, but rather the specification of the geometries and the dependency structure. That’s the hard part that’s hiding in the background. It’s kind of like getting stuck on the syn

    I’d argue there isn’t a social justification for the shit show, but rather just social reasons

    There is no real technical justification for the absolute shit show that is the modern C toolchain

    The closer and deeper you look into the C toolchains the more grossed out you’ll be

    autotools is a complete disaster. It’s mind boggling to think that everything we build is usually on top of this arcane system

    Good try! That will be staying private so you can’t hard code a solution ;)

    I’m not sure that CAD interfaces are terrible, it’s just hard work
