The key value is that it’s a visual tool with native usability affordances addressing the needs of novices as well as power users — we have too few of such tools.

In what way do you think this is useful over parentheses?

The article is about Russell and Whitehead’s Principia, not Newton’s.

Everyone doesn’t seem to know that, because tests are often cited as a way to ensure that AI-generated code is correct.

Also weight. While the 11 Pro Fold apparently is a bit lighter than it’s predecessor, it’s still 239 grams. I miss the days of the 113g SE.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-based_numbering , e.g. “computer programmers might use zeroth in situations where others might use first ”.

I would assume that for most foo.ai domains, foo-ai.com would also be available. So it’s more about naming preferences, and sometimes lack of imagination for coming up with an available name.

How traffic cameras are used arguably is a big deal.

I’m talking about how a programming language specification specifies the semantics of the programming language. It usually does not specify the time and space complexity of its basic operations, be it function calls or arithmetic operators.
375.
by layer8 2mo ago
Any function call can fail due to resource exhaustion (unless the language specification includes a mechanism to guarantee success, which hardly any language does). The specifications of the semantics of a programming language are usually s

The point is that the compiler has to deal with it and has to check if the function is exported or its address is taken. So it’s a problem when implementing the compiler and adjacent tooling, you can’t just add it naively. You also have to

Well, if the model that page uses also falls under the EU act, the output will just be watermarked differently. ;)

Publishing changes the incentive of how you write, because you’ll care differently about the quality and content of the writing, since people might read it. That’s valuable for a writer.

Programming language semantics as in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantics_(programming_languag... is usually decoupled from space complexity. An interpreter or emulator is considered to preserve language semantics e

The details of how a stack is managed isn't normally part of programming language semantics.

It's possible for calling conventions where the callee is responsible for stack cleanup before return.
383.
by layer8 2mo ago
If the callee is an exported symbol, the compiler has no choice but to adhere to the calling convention. For the C model of translation units that's the default, only local (declared "static") functions are exempted, and usua

> But if we go only 15 years in the past, to 2011, we find the same price per GB of DRAM as today, so that affordable computers had only 16 GB of DRAM. Uhm, in 2011 4 GB RAM was the standard for PCs (some were still sold with only 2 GB),

You could have a scroll-down bar on one side and a scroll-up bar on the other side that work that way (given the lack of left/right click options). That could be pretty intuitive for touch.
386.
by layer8 2mo ago
When the calling convention is such that the caller owns the function arguments, the callee can’t remove/replace them on the stack, but has to keep them across the tail call. In turn, it means that the callee has to clean up the argume

Not in the sense of formal programming-language semantics, usually.

It’s precisely not the semantics of the program that will crash the program, but the behavior of the language implementation. It’s similar to when a program in a GC language fails with OOM because the language implementation uses a no-op

Might as well give up on CSS and just use brutalist HTML in that case.
