Well, it would be a constructed language if you did it intentionally, but your point stands in that you can make a new language.

I wouldn't say I've overcome anything either but I'll throw in my two cents. Personally I have accepted a.) most of my projects will be unfinished when I die and b.) if I am just staring at an empty terminal session and nothi

It's interesting speculation. I just can't accept the existence of a spacecraft that can last 100 years without a catastrophic failure, or Ceres being reforged into a factory, or a nation of people who live entirely independent of

Is there reason to believe the stars are less of a dead end than Mars? It's easy to imagine us making a huge bet on interstellar travel, and just dying in interstellar space. Surely there's untold abundance in the stars, but if yo

You've got a good eye for form and color, your art is simple but effective (as pixel art should be). I'm in the same boat, so I'm going to buy a copy of Stipple Effect.

That animation with the fish is impressive, it's very difficult to get pixel art to feel natural and organic like that.

I've seen this and it's very silly. Every step where the machine makes an automated decision, it displays a message like, "using AI to xyz." I have to imagine the "AI" to determine how long the cycle should be

It's literally true that it is being marketed to consumers. GP was being somewhat poetic. Marketing to consumers is an instrumental goal in service of marketing to investors. The aim is to sell more stock to investors rather than more

I think it's less that being meticulous is time consuming than that, in the same way that things have different values to different people, things can have different costs. I feel like if I didn't put things in convenient places t

I've vouched this comment. I believe it was misinterpreted as suggesting there shouldn't be a black bar, which would be flaggable as flame bait. However, the black bar either wasn't there or they hadn't noticed it (it

I've seen comments like this a few times, and I think there's a misunderstanding at play. I think people who are used to using REPLs look at people who aren't and conclude that, since they don't have a REPL in their tool

Would they be profitable if OpenAI was charging enough to break even, though? Are they hosting their own models and renting their own GPUs, or is OpenAI subsidizing them by running at a loss? For what it's worth, I worked for an AI com

Upon further reflection, what's really happening in that example is that I'm using non-CSG primitives provided by OpenSCAD, so I retract my comment (at least partially).

Usually, it's fair game to use all of the information presented in an exam-style question to derive your answer. With that in mind, I propose the following solution. `print(976563)`

I don't disagree but "this requires care because it could lead to unspecified problematic outcomes" is true of literally everything. I think you have to specify what outcomes you're worried about or what's different

They also derisk deploys of application code. If you deploy a bug that doesn't uphold your constraints, you get failures rather than corruption.

To me this seems like complaining that the T-shirts in the museum gift shop are overpriced. They absolutely are, and you're free not to buy one, but that's the premise of a gift shop. Similarly, whenever I'm a tourist, it&#x2

Flexibility and constraint are both useful. (Constraint is one of the reasons to use a finite state machine in the first place.) An overly constrained system can't function, an overly flexible system can't be relied upon. You&#x27

I think it's fine to encourage beginners to engage with the internals of an API and do things that are unwise. The goal is educated pupils, not successful or maintainable projects. Let them play in the mud and get dirty. I think the id

Stylistic note, you can use `random.choice()`. If you aren't generating an encryption key, you probably don't need `SystemRandom`.

Certainly if we grow exponentially for a further 1000 years we'll exceed the carrying capacity of this planet, however we derive our energy. I don't think that's a very interesting result. By "completely wrong" do y

I can see what you mean, but if you zoom all the way in on the man looking into the camera, you can just see their left eye (right from our perspective). I think this is a buddy-system safety measure for crossing an unfamiliar, loud, hectic

That's a bummer honestly, I would encourage you not to let Internet flamewars color your decisions about what languages you might learn. The well is seriously poisoned with regards to Rust in this community. That's more of a refle
