It's easier from a privacy perspective to not store and retain the submitted and rendered photos. One less thing to worry about regarding the privacy agreement.

Every value being equally likely does not mean we expect every value to appear only once. Throw a d6 seven times and we expect a configuration to come up twice, even though the distribution is uniform.

I think the word "browser" usually doesn't appear in the w3c documents. It's a "user agent". And as long as the scraper works for a user, it fits nicely.

By that argument, we should spend an arbitrary amount of time writing everything in very efficient assembler code, as long as we will ... after years and years of coding ... run the code often enough. It's not only about the number of

You could also use docbook. My gut feeling is, that if you have large documents that you collaboratively work on, there's probably a bit of a compilation process to be done and other stuff you want to do with the document. So the overh

There's a line between the discovered stuff and the invented stuff. I always love to see it spelled out in different ways. I tell my students that you can understand And rediscover the science part by understanding basic principles,

It's probably an optimization problem with multiple parameters so you're never looking for an exact solution. But as the NP-hardness of that problem goes: Say you have 400 guests on 50 tables and you probably expect multiple solut

It's arguable whether a SyntaxError happens as a compile-time check. It's true that it is raised before runtime. But a document that can be parsed according to the syntax definition is a necessary precondition to all checks of any

By that definition, whenever I create (on my own) a product that is both superior and cheaper than a competitor's offering, lessening the value of their product, it is stealing.

I did a zipper merge yesterday and the cars then were in pairs, one from each lane. But as the author also printed a newline, it looks very different.

The renderer does maybe. But it isn't saved and not used for OCR. So paperless doesn't have rotating functionality.

> Every use of operators can be considered a syntax trick That's blatantly false for strict languages, like JavaScript. For a function, all arguments are evaluated before the function is evaluated. For operators this is not true. On

The children know school math. And their blackboard is declarative and not imperative. Why would you suddenly introduce implicit state? i=i+1 is just confusing without a good and formal introduction. And once you have that introduction, you

The problem with having such a technology not being based on latex: every conference in my field (computer science) with formal proceedings needs you to send your latex sources to compile the proceedings. I think this is fine for workshop s

Not a night train, but this summer we went on vacation to Scotland from Germany and took the Amsterdam-Newcastle overnight ferry instead of flying. One major issue is one of headspace, as you sacrifice a day of holiday for a day of travel.

Renderers don't support it, but I wonder if it's generally possible to encode such an L-System simply as a self-referencing svg group.

Ideally by combustion with oxygen you get water and nitrogen. Which seems fine. Though ammonia is highly toxic and there's probably a lot of engineering involved to get this safe and efficient.

If you want people to use the official app (if there is/were one, I don't know), and use the app to upsell and market, or collect and sell additional user data, you're not interested in an open ecosystem. Just remember: they

When students send in homework through our e-learning platform, we receive all the submissions in a large-ish xml file. We read the submissions, pass it on to some (static) analysis and example execution, and write out (per exercise) a yaml

Yeah, we can't distinguish the arguments. Can't have a parent named X, I guess.

You can't formally verify that your interface to the operating system works as it is supposed to work. You can only formally verify your own functions against some specification. And where do you get a bug-free specification from?

That's a nice idea and it kind of works with the internal database. But in terms of FFI or other interactivity, you can't un-read bytes from an input stream or un-write to another process. That makes interoperability inherently im

Depending on what you do on the lhs of = you can actually overwrite this operator. It could be setattr or setitem instead of bind-to-name. Because you can overwrite = only in certain cases that are defined, by the syntax, you can't eas
