Oversimplifying can be great at times. In this case, the lambda-calculus model (which is the base for this type of "everything is just a function" approach) is a great model of computation because it is so simple, while being easy

Nevermind the cost of the plane, I don't understand how they aren't losing money on the petrol alone. We're talking the price of a full tank on a small car to transport someone from Barcelona to London and back (Even though t

For that purpose you might want to use magnetic tape like they use in long term archival services They are cheaper per Gio, and last significantly longer

Now I'm wondering what kind of features you end up adding to your website that need server-side code. Comment systems?

You also have to bring them back to a nespresso shop, or mail them, which is a hassle . So I'd be willing to bet most people don't do it. Some companies might, mine doesn't

Not only is the Flair very nice to use, and does it allow you to make pretty good coffee, It is also the cheapest setup I found to make espresso

Formalism isn't really the problem though. The problem is that it needs to be accompanied with geometrical explanations and intuition (especially for linear algebra). Formalism is here to help you put words on intuition. Intuition with

Weird parallel. If you're on the street it's easier to arrest you. Now if your megaphone is used exclusively to sell drugs and for some reason you cannot be arrested, then it makes sense to confiscate it?

"Bail" (as in you give money instead of being detained) isn't common in France (although it foes exist in French law).

If a court orders twitter to take down a tweet, and twitter doesn't comply, then I believe anybody that is responsible for that inaction, including Elon if he was aware and didn't act may be tried

To clarify: According to the TF1 link, the charges being brought against him are 1. No moderation and refusal to cooperate with government forces on a bunch of cases (what you are describing) 2. Tools allegedly catering to criminality (burn

Yes, but it is still very vague. Do c++ smart pointers qualify? If so, what percentage of pointers should be smart pointers? It's very easy for AAPL to make this rule say whatever they want it to

But adding a detour is easy in a car (even during rush hour - congestion is mainly on big axes). Restaurant doesn't need to be right where the traffic is.

> shops want to be where the traffic is, because they want motorists to stop and patronize them. Citation needed? Motorists (as opposed to pedestrians) rarely stop at a shop because they passed in front of it (except on very long routes)

Just have emergency services use the bus lane? And if there isn't one, your problem isn't traffic calming, your problem is the lack of bus lane

In relatively hot climates, above 100F is still a pretty reasonable temperature, not something i'd call "extreme". 0F though is crazy cold. Where i live (south-western europe), getting below ~15 F is already considered extrem
