it said he started in high school, studied architecture in high school and not college, and has no formal training in this. you seem to be massaging the facts.

ahh, sorry. that wasn't clear because i haven't used the python debugger in visual studio code and don't use python in general. i would guess my hunch that this is a python problem is correct. i use ionide for f#. i am wonder

i can and did look it up, since i hadn't heard of it before. however, that doesn't answer the question as to what the commenter meant with their comment in the context of my reply. i meant "that" as in their whole commen

that's not true. i use visual studio code and emacs, both on windows, to develop scheme that runs on wsl (since many schemes don't support windows). in visual studio, i use bash in the integrated terminal which takes care of runni

there is zero benefit. windows can now access wsl files. also, you can setup visual studio code to run bash in an integrated terminal and thus call command line application in the wsl. also, using "wsl.exe <name>", you can c

i suspect erdos' socialization of mathematics had as much to do with mathematics as it did about having a place to eat and sleep. his vagabond lifestyle sort of necessitated he frequently socialize his mathematics so as to not wear out

your comment is a little hard to follow, but here's a few specific responses or additions. > The wider ecosystem effects are not really known. that's not really true. it is pretty well known that there are major detrimental eff

yea, i don’t understand that at all. she is clearly a sociopath. when asked how he came to believe her initial intentions to be noble, he answers that if she cared about money she could have made a lot more. that is a strange and nonsensica

i have a personal, not necessarily scientific opinion on this. i think that certain minds are so above normal life that they are able to creatively push the bounds of our knowledge. now, since life is a flawed beast of chaos and disorder,

yes it is. hilbert has no claims to originating the theory of general relativity, and he had been talking with einstein before this, even inviting him to give talks. einstein already had the ideas of general relativity much earlier than whe

i agreed it was unnecessary, but i don't think it's a huge stretch. most of the stuff i have read from him has come across as someone who has made up their mind and that's that. it's like when you ask someone why somethi

while certainly cool, i have always found such robots disturbing because instead of being used to sort recycling or some other useful purpose, they are meant to actually increase the disposal of plastic and other such waste by moving produc

but isn’t implied operator precedence and using parentheses to group and control order of operations one of the things people often find confusing in mathematics, despite it being familiar?

but programming isn’t about manipulating equations. if you want programs to manipulate equations, then again, the procedure notation, in particular lisp notation, wins out.

he doesn’t make any coherent argument as to why one is more clear or preferred than the other. he simply states it and moves on with this bias. for example, when he compares 2 to 2a, i feel he doesn’t really address anything and just states

what is the deal with these startup company names that have nothing to do with anything the company does? they are just random single words with a logo directly representing that random word in a “cute” way. why not name the company sensibl

i think they must be referring to tesla factory fires happening in fall of 2018, which is easily searchable (how i found it). apparently there were reports of frequent fires before a big one.

they have a history of manufacturing problems, do they not? they may not be having them at this very moment, but it is well documented and discussed that they have had issues. i think when you're building cars in a makeshift, outdoor a

that is very worrying, but i also wonder how hard google tried. they don't have a very good track record for building and maintaining products outside of their main product space (ads and selling data).

i wasn't necessarily making a legal argument, but i agree with you. our government has stopped caring about corporate influence because they benefit from it while it hurts society as a whole.

i thought it was clear what i considered dangerous thinking, that is the assumption that apple doesn't have a monopoly in the strict sense of controlling a certain commodity or market and thus no one needs to worry about their behavior

> What does Apple have a monopoly on? i feel this is dangerous thinking. maybe apple doesn't have a monopoly on a particular market in terms of market share, but their influence on businesses, markets, policies, etc. is massive and
