If you make your window small enough to hit the tablet/mobile breakpoint, it collapses into a vertical layout, which is much more pleasant. I honestly cannot fathom what would possess a person to make horizontally scrollable columns li

This was a very nice exposition. Two notes which helped my understanding: 1. There appears to be a typo in the gluing axiom. The second half of the hypothesis should read res^{U_i}_{U_i ∩ U_j}(s_i) = res^{U_j}_{U_i ∩ U_j}(s_j) i.e.

Just use the code to build a source-code auto-completion model, then wire the model up to your text editor and write new source code.

A 2013 estimate of annual meat subsidies puts them around $38bn[1], whereas a 2019 industry estimate of annual sales sits at a bit over $217bn[2]. You're free to make your own judgement as to what constitutes "heavily," I sup

It solves the problem of being able to teach you about some interesting mathematical objects and algorithms for enumerating them.

Maybe it's different in your country, but in the USA, meat production is heavily subsidized by the federal government, and the environmental externalities (carbon and otherwise) generated are not exactly priced in, either.

In the US, we could have built cities and suburbs which did not necessitate owning an ICE vehicle (at least for the majority of residents). We could have pushed the development of electric cars, which were certainly plausible in the 90s. We

It would seem that, as the writer and enforcer of regulation and other such things, it's the government that decides. In "free societies," perhaps that equates to democratic control, but again, that's clearly distinct fr
