To be fair there is a grain of truth to the joke. E.g. Cayley’s theorem is sort of like that — once you get it, it feels like it barely qualifies as a theorem, it’s just a natural consequence of the definitions involved.

Well, yes. That part is obvious enough. The interesting part is how you build the mapping from time domain to frequency domain. That is the part that never clicked for me.

You might want to look into indie games. They tend to focus on simple controls and interesting, more experimental, mechanics. If you like puzzles, you might like Patrick's Parabox (sic), Baba is You. If you like strategy games, try Int

Well, Proof Theory is a branch of maths in its own right, and Category Theory also has a definite "meta-proof-y" feel to it.

Greg Johnston, author of the Leptos framework, did a pretty good video about this a few weeks ago[0]. The TLDR is (of course): it depends. WASM has no native access to the DOM, so all DOM manipulations from wasm-land have to go through JS b

The thing that makes the heap expensive is the allocator calls. If you allocate a big vector once and never resize it, there's not much of a cost.

Police got a warrant and went to service it, Mullvad explained why it was pointless, police agreed and left without further incident. It's not "a huge disconnect", it's the system working exactly as I'd hope for.

Seeing as we're in the integer world, I'm not sure logs need to show up ever, there's probably a proof path around unique prime factorisations. E.g. it's more or less immediately obvious that n and m would need to share

They always use shear-thickening fluids because they're so counterintuitive, but shear-thinning fluids are a fun example of a mixed blessing — the same property that keeps paint from dripping off a brush/roller until you apply it

Given that OP's username starts with Olivier, I assume they're French. The French name is Règlement Général sur la Protection des Données. You just get used to your native language's abbreviations.

When in that situation I tend to go ahead and factor out the similar code anyway. I almost never end up committing it, but it usually helps turn the "gut feeling" into a better understanding of the differences.

Actively harmful donations at least have an impact (Classic example: Hitler had arguably the greatest impact of anybody in the twentieth century). This donation probably won’t do much of anything at all, which is notable in and of itself

The problem isn't Scunthorpe specifically. That particular problem is just one case of a broader problem. Should we also rename the whole Parus and * Sula* genera (the tits and boobies, respectively)? Should we stop referring to fema

Oh that is nasty. For anybody who cares: `a == c` coerces `a` into a number . `a` is a hexadecimal string that happens to have only one non-numeric 'digit', and that digit happens to be an 'e'. This triggers parsing as s
