Taste is subjective yes, very novel insight. Python is a hacky language that was never designed other than laying it's eggs against the grain of what we seem to mostly agree is godo — e.g. functional programming and composition. Big te

I'm curious what the story is with (if I have it right) V8 dropping sea of nodes. Is it an argument against sea of nodes or just that it isn't pulling it's weight for them at the moment

1) It doesn't actually work 2) It's worth more to your career 3) Selling a strategy to a hedge fund as a stranger is, unless they hire you, probably a good few months of umming and ahhing and paperwork.

Who was in charge before Orban? Is there a parallel with biden being a ~ vegetable by the time he left? (not being sarcastic fwiw)

How else do you think we pay for (say) about half of all social housing in central London to go to those born overseas Or even just the bizarre notion of having best part of half of zone 1 be social in the first place.

I'm not assuming, I asked; they wouldn't call themselves english anyway. Almost no one does anymore anyway, I don't.

Similar tale with propaganda and stats with asterisks missing about the MiG-25 leading to the requirements for the F-15 being very high.

They have the best infra, lots of good properly cleaned data, and market access. I don't know if rentech ever make markets but one way to make a _lot_ of money in finance to provide liquidity while also have good alpha models. The fast

It genuinely looks like an AI generated Wes Anderson film. He needs to go to Siberia and relearn what made him great.

I don't even mind the runes I just don't get the impression from the docs that anyone has a clear feeling about how to actually use them e.g. forget the toy examples, suppose an alien has given me clump of minified business logic

I think I follow but IIRC my problem was something like that the getters and setters had to be quite "flat". if they weren't they would recursively infect everything top-down and then not work anyway because of boundaries in

Software projects don't usually have the luxury of a violent but intuitive dictator running the thing. Obviously a mega budget tv show is going to be run from afar most of the time. Software can be like this, e.g. if you were building

I also like svelte quite a lot although I was/am genuinely a bit confused as to how to join svelte to some external [state machine / business logic]. I ended up with runes basically infecting the entire codebase, but presumably a

I don't think we'll go quite that far but I can easily imagine a revival of a world in which the Internet is just a box in the corner of your office, and the church, driven by AI slop everywhere.

well to do anything new in a C# project one typically ends up making a class inside a new namespace, if I just want to write a solver with no state it's quite jarring and distracts from otherwise a pretty good language that I like work

When I dream I don't think about public static class IDream OOP is a scam, a useful scam but still a scam, it is in no way easier or better to force _everything_ to be a class P.S. not a functional programmer at all - except in dotnet

Maybe one day they'll bite the bullet and let you write a function without extra 10 keywords and a sprinkling of nouns I really want to like C# but there is a reason why it has no ecosystem outside of enterprise and gaming slop

At this point I'm fairly convinced that the effort one would spend trying to typecheck a python program is better spent migrating away from python into a language that has a proper type system, then using interop so you can still have

I like this type of flow. On tensor notation: Tensor indices aren't bad (a good notation should guide a calculation and they do) but I can't help but feel they're far too error prone. What are the alternatives? Penrose diagra
