The metaphor backfires because if everyone runs red lights they will collide with one another, as well as with those going through green lights.

It wasn't abelist but I don't understand the analogy with schizophrenia.

That's interesting, because I've noticed the exact opposite between VSCode and Sublime. What version of sublime are you using?

1-2 loads of laundry every day for 4 people? How small is your washing machine?

What is the point of that comparison?

B to F is a fifth; that interval is called a diminished fifth (one semitone less than a perfect fifth like B to F#).

As someone who has had to move often for work and school, renting has been pretty good for me and my partner. What would the alternative be?

The schedule / lifestyle of an academic is almost opposite to the 9-5 'just a job' the OP is looking for.

Sure, but data.table also fits those criteria.

Yeah the storage size was a real clincher for me, as much as I appreciate a SQL database. Re: concurrent reading and writing, for my use case the files are immutable so that isn't a concern. But I agree, I don't think pure parquet

In common usage does OLAP automatically imply data that is too large for a single node to handle? I'm wondering if a lot of OLAP workloads couldn't be handled with some parquet files (or some other column based storage)? I realize

I think you're missing the point of the article (and the material you included). It's not that the method of inference is that interesting, its the fact that the game is able to make use of that inference at all. Every thing e

I'm missing something here. Why would hammer use be declining?

You think that young people don't use hammers?

I'm not clear on the point here. You can make an application that handles arbitrary SQLite files, (for example: the SQLite shell, or a GUI database broswer), or you can make an application that only uses SQLite files with certain conte

I'm genuinely curious what you mean by this. Of course SQLite imposes a file format... That format is a SQLite database

I think the pedestrian experience of 4-way stops is pretty great - you always get right of way. Pedestrian experience is probably the one downside of roundabouts.

As an avid mountain biker, I can tell you that the high-end for mountain bikes is definitely not titanium, it's carbon fibre. Titanium mountain bikes are rare, probably even more than road bikes. Every major brand uses carbon fiber in

I think what you're missing is that a big part of the design of traditional music notation is that it is intended to be read easily and efficiently, even sight-read. The musician reading the score knows the intervals that apply in the

On a piano roll the black and white keys are equally spaced. Two adjacent rows are always a semitone apart.

How are accidentals obfuscated on a traditional score? They are explicitly marked. It's on a piano roll that they would be easy to miss -- they appear the same as any other note. Similarly, key changes are explicit in sheet music but h

Just because something is easy to measure doesn't mean it's a valuable metric. You can make the same argument about LOC.

As someone who used to log lifting in plain text files (copied from a notebook) I think this is a really good idea. To avoid all of the comments from people asking about GPS tracking, I think you should make it clear that it's primaril

No, tying knots isn't an application of knot theory. To learn about some applications of knot theory, you could read the textbook in the OP.

by mb7733 6y ago
I think learning and tying knots is cool too, but just a heads up, the mathematical knot theory discussed in the OP is not related to that. It's a branch of topology that studies the possible shapes and transformations of closed curve

Good point about symmetry & unimodality. You could easily construct a bimodal example where the method fails entirely. In my previous post I said "doesn't assume any distribution" I meant it doesn't depend on any pa
