Out of genuine interest... is there a modern solution to this problem with PHP/MySQL? (I'm still doing the "upload to server to test" thing.... I've tried MAMP and Vagrant/VirtualBox for local dev but both of t

I think it's quite common among programmers. At least, I have always been that way too. I can go week of unproductive time then suddenly several days of immersion.

Be smart and creative, think different, and most importantly actually try stuff. Have a product in the world that people can pay you for. Don’t expect anything to happen but do it anyway. Whatever idea sets off a feeling of fear and excitem

I appreciate this view. The story our culture tells us of reward being proportional to sacrifice is well entrenched and of course a complete fantasy.

The objective of a conversation is not to change the other’s opinion, it is to understand each other on a deeper level than at the start. If the net result is a shift in opinion on either side (or both) then so be it. The idea of “right” an

Do remember though that Peterson's submissions against the bill (alongside Gad Saad if I remember right) was not really all that silly and blown up. It was the subsequent reaction where people said "this guy is a far right transph

It's a sync license that he would need (for videos). Unfortunately these are a lot harder and more expensive to obtain than mechanical licenses.

That isn't a good summary of the bill, and it didn't even mention preferred pronouns. What it actually did was add "gender identity or expression" to a list of protected characteristics to be considered when prosecuting

At this point people throw around the word fascist at the drop of a hat. Commonly used these days to mean using violence to suppress, intimidate and silence. I'm sure there was a more nuanced historical meaning once but that is being l

Can you give some examples of those many things?

Exactly, if you don't like the way Apple does things don't buy an iPhone and don't develop software for iPhones. Very simple.

ClosedUnitInterval surely describes the interval itself, not a member of that interval. The member would be ClosedUnitIntervalValue or something. This is the thing it would be nice to have a short name for. Just as we say an integer is a me

Exactly, in order to sufficiently specify the thing we are talking about we seem to need at least three words.

UnitInterval isn't a type, it's a value of type Range, specifically the range [0,1]. UnitIntervalValue would be the type name for the thing we are interested in. Values of that type should of course have descriptive names.

Right. That's the thing we need a word for :) Unit Interval Value is nice but still a bit cumbersome. I mean if we all agreed right now it were called a "poog" then we could just say poog.

You're not wrong but it would be nice to have a word for this incredibly common type of value still.

Decimal fraction can be greater than one.

by nicky0 6y ago
Unit interval is the interval between 0 and 1. We need a word for a value within that interval.

"In which basket did you put that exquisite marble figurine?" is perfectly good English. It sounds better to me that the "which ... in" version. (British English speaker.)
