Form element? To quote the late great Douglas Adams, "Many were increasingly of the opinion that they'd all made a big mistake in coming down from the trees in the first place. And some said that even the trees had been a bad move

Well, this is going to send us down a rabbit hole but the reverse is also true: there are multiple interpretations of a given law and the judge tries to use their judgement to square the law with the facts. (Rabbit hole because I sense this

One of the points of digital assets is that the code is the contract, so whatever the code says is what was agreed to. There can be no cheating (in theory) hence no need to resort to courts etc.

What is interesting to me is how it shines a light on the regulatory framework of the non-crypto economy. If you read up on edge cases, there is a lot of people deciding if something is "fair", and my notions of fair and a particu

If you want to just code, just code. I accept you're a gifted coder, and that you're better than your peers. Good, then do exactly that. Being good at mentoring people is only vaguely correlated with being good at code. IMHO, the

I know what the halting problem is and I had to study why it cannot work. However, for L5, you just have a quote saying it doesn't work. We know it is mathematically possible for L5 to work because, well, humans perform at that level.

It would be great to see the stats on the stacks. What is the adoption of the django vs rails or whatever in the sample size? Is there a difference between companies that reach Series A, B? etc? Is there a difference in valuation? (On the t

Updates work about half the time for me on mini-conda, but they break the other half of the time. When I look up the issue, I am not alone. I end up re-installing it a lot.

I'll add this: I don't know how to design and I don't have a designer.

Feel the same way but assumed that is just because I am not a front end dev who had better ways to do it. Would like to know what is the current workflow? Suppose you have a mockup pencil drawing on a napkin, what is the next step? Create

There is this story, perhaps apocryphal, that someone asked Louis Armstrong: what is so great about jazz? Supposedly, he answered: "If you have to ask, you'll never know." Programming is not exactly like that, but every progr

To me it looked like a low-code tool to automate "processes" like Zapier/ifttt and so on. Basically a glue between apps with a little python thrown in for transformations.

I wonder if correlation is the best measure. Cointegration might be more important for this sort of trading. And might be a supplementary measure you want to add since you’re doing all the pairwise comparisons. (If I recall there is a compu

Would this work: $1 for ever (or because that might create an eternal obligation, $1 for 5 years) or some minimal amount just to verify they are real. If it is a spam account they forfeit their $1. This may create a hassle in that once in a

As many others have pointed out, something relevant like games is a good starting point. On your main question about how to make the (now painful) dev environment setup easier I have some suggestions: 1. Just use javascript 2. Just use pyth

Define dead. Some people don't think Cobol is deal. Or Fortran. In this sense the code is still run somewhere and there are still jobs to be had. But the question is probably around one's personal choices: is this the framework to

One point of view arguing for a non-stem degree is that it teaches you to read, write and think. And there is some logic to that thought. Even if you spend 4 years just learning about, say, Sociology, you have to read up on a debate, summar

I wonder how much the chord-space would shrink farther if you took out the bridge/intro where people tend to mix it up. And if you could adjust when the song shifts keys in the chorus and verse. (Although I didn't keep up with all
