I like it as an optional feature. Some people enjoy it, some people don't. Turn it off by default, but let users choose.

I get that, but why is / "over"?

Is that not a pun on the use of "/" for division, and how it's often expressed in spoken English? It might still be a weird sense of priorities, but an historical one rather than a new one.

And on cloud hosts, you might end up with the same MAC address on what you thought should be 4 separate "nodes".

Those high school teachers are, just like everyone else, primarily individuals responding to the incentives and costs with which they are presented. Infantilization might be a long-term symptom, but don't make it sound like creeping mo

I've never regretted spending time up-front on architecture and design. Of course you aren't going to write the entire program from scratch in your head. But iterating through stages of written descriptions, diagrams, actual code,

Writing a "how does X work" post is a good way to learn about X. And when X is very popular, lots of people will be writing and sharing those posts, both for their own study and just for clicks.

I have experienced this as well, mostly among people who did not grow up with a lot of money but managed to make a lot of it throughout their adult life.

I feel the same way for the most part. However I cam imagine a kind of meta-learning foundation model that basically has a huge internal library of micro-features, and when you put a sequence into it, it matches those features against the s

It's a bit of an anthropomorphism ation. I don't believe it has any formal meaning here. The idea is that there are certain kinds of underlying signals and patterns which are common to a wide range of time series data. So if a mod

If that's how you frame it, then I stand corrected and I apologize for my incorrect criticism.

Having a legally-legitimate drop-shipping / e-commerce business sounds like perfect cover for international drug smuggling and sex trafficking, as well as providing a convenient tool for laundering small amounts of money.

Why do all these tools pretend that knitr / R Markdown never existed, and that they have invented some novel concept? I looked through the docs of Quarto, Jupytext, and now Codebraid, and none of them mention prior art. There's a

As far as I understand, the SBCL compiles each function separately, and can fall back to very slow codepaths in doing so. Getting peak performance out of Common Lisp takes some effort.

An effect similar to this is what ultimately drove me away from pursuing an advanced degree in economics. I kept seeing what were supposedly great innovations in our understanding of economic theory, which were mathematically elegant and co

You're entitled to your opinion of course, but not everybody has the same sense of aesthetics as you do, and the whole point of the article is to prioritize usability over any one person's opinion about what looks pretty.

It's not officially part of the Neovim project. However they distribute it with the Windows installer. Neovim-Qt and Neovide both work the same way, one is not more privileged or official or well-integrated with Neovim than the other.

Theoretically you could support the same RPC API from a completely different text editor, and thereby use any Neovim-compatible frontend . That sounds like a nightmare of course, but it's technically possible.

I am a pretty big terminal user, and I still use a graphical front end (specifically Neovide and Neovim-Qt). If you are happy with the terminal, you're right, there's no "upsell" here, but if you're happy with somet

It sounds like it's not deprecated, they've moved it out of the config file and into a Vim global variable. That's probably meant to be a feature, in order to work with changing color schemes.

Isn't that just the same as any other program? If you group your projects into workspaces/tags/virtual desktops. If your workflow is already entirely terminal-oriented with something like Tmux, then yeah, this won't real

Too bad there's no such thing as a rooster stud, otherwise "rent-a.co.ck" would be a great domain name. Not sure what else I'd use it for though...

I find that comparison interesting, because I don't think of Airflow as particularly data-oriented in terms of its features and core functionality. I tend to think of Airflow as "Cron + Make", with any "data-oriented&quo
