Devils advocate - it may be that Stanford is punishing the act of taking a picture and distributing it, rather than reading the book. I was thinking of reading Mein Kampf (I've never read it), but I'd never think to pose in front

All I can say is that once you get to a certain level of wealth, money really is just a means to an end. The fact that they have less doesn't matter if they get their ends, one of which in this case is substantial influence over whatev

It sounds like babbling to say 'we teach our immune system to fight diseases by showing them weaker versions'. The immune system is complicated and unless you're talking about things directly in terms of chemistry and protein

In that vein I highly recommend Foundations and Fundamental Concepts of Mathematics by Howard Eves. I think it might be a little dated, but it gives an amazing overview of the most important developments in mathematics that were relevant at

Tragic few are waking up at 7am to provide clean beds, food and water. And if they were able to use that system, there's incentive to maintain it. I feel like so many people who work fast food do so because it literally provides them w

I think we knew from the get-go that spreadsheets would be used for pretty much anything to do with numbers. That there aren't any new applications past that understates their general applicability. I agree though, chatGPT isn't a

They say C++ is C + STL. Then C is what, C++'s printf? Sorry

by mxkopy 4y ago
From my understanding C is really nonchalant about this. The resistance is mostly from the OS side. I'm sure with C++ it's more complicated, but not impossible. With Rust it gets really funny. You have to subscribe to a completely

Inb4 this thread gets carcinized - While it does sound like Bjarne is being a bit of a sore loser of some popularity contest, he's still right in that exactly memory safety is too specific of an idea to be meaningful in the long term.

I'd assume cache locality makes it worthwhile, especially if the keys are big, point to big things that need to move, or live on separate drives. To that last point I'd wager stable algorithms can imply parallelization.

I think you're confusing understanding with intuition. Which is fair; I'd say understanding builds to intuition as it's accessed more. The line is blurry at points.

The simplicity is part of the aesthetic. IMO the trilogy is more philosophical exercise than narrative, so if you weren't looking for that then it makes sense you wouldn't be too hype about it. At risk of spoiling things, I do rec

Right, the "elements of x" made me think values, but those elements really are other types. Crazy where operator overloading will get you. If there are postmodern math papers I feel like this is one of them

Something that I've found interesting is that the domain of a derivative always seems to be phrased in terms of open sets, even when the original function is defined on a closed set. It's like taking the derivative removes exactly

The rebellion would have to distribute its resources amongst an army large enough to hold a planet. At that scale, teams of dozens of people would be sufficiently motivated to kill whoever, if their reward is still some fraction of that.
