Well then someone somewhere with some mainframe got so angry they decided to write a manifesto to condemn kids these days and announced a fork of Qt because Qt committed the cardinal sin of adopting C++20. So don’t say “a problem literally

In my experience developers as a whole are very stingy, even though they complain about companies not donating to open source all the time, and complain when companies do donate but the amount is too little for their liking. (For instance,

That’s ironic. Firefox once had scoped CSS which no one else picked up, so it was removed. Now it’s the last mover. https://caniuse.com/style-scoped https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/552

The Nobel Committee doesn’t represent the field of physics. I talked to a few former colleagues (theoretical physicists) just now and every one of them found this bizarre.

No, you can easily get non-discrete lengths with simple metrics like the Euclidean metric on an integer grid.

It shows that the language is highly dynamic and you can patch anything? The .pth mechanism allows the party controlling the Python installation (site) to run some init code before any user code, basically an rc mechanism. Nothing more, not

It’s indeed NP-complete if edge lengths are integers or otherwise discretized. But the general traveling salesman problem has no such restriction, so you can’t finitely enumerate in the general case.
