There are some change in the pipes that should make the syntax for slicing lighter in OCaml 4.10 by eliminating the need of the outermost [| |] or [ ]. For instance, let a = x.%{ [|2; 3; 4|] } x.%{ [|2; 3; 4|] } <- 111.

There were a handful of concomitant improvements: * The printing of error message has been improved to display the code source responsible of the error outside of the REPL. * Some probable beginner errors (like discarding a non-applied func

The final state is a kind of thermal death where thermodynamics say that nothing happens anymore. However, thermodynamics is only an effective theory. It is false on tremendously large time scale: after a very very very large time a random

Even ray tracing does not capture all physics of electromagnetism and only works at the level of geometrical optics: any effect, like diffraction or iridescence, that arises due to the wave-like nature of light still need to be implemented

Abel-Ruffini theorem only speaks about general solution in term of elementary operations and nth-root, which is a very restricted form of solution. Numerically solving roots for generic polynomial is perfectly doable (and the nth-root alrea

I agree that graphics programming has become more and more hostile to infrequent users over the years. Comparing the setup boilerplate needed to draw a triangle from OpenGL to Vulkan is just horrifying.

> ω, which I’m prettying sure is the Greek abbreviation of “whatever” (zero or more times). Or it is the classical notation for the ordinal associated with the set of integers ℕ, aka any number of times.

This is probably a false positive with merlin, that should not affect your code itself.
