Concrete Mathematics was recommended to me as a fresh grad by my first mentor, and it had a profound impact on how I approached problems and improved my mathematical literacy immensely. It is probably the most approachable "high level&

Academic research and education is normally focused on silo'd content and not holistic system design. To use your example, a parser that gracefully handles bad input is a completely different region of study than simple parsing/gr

Chat history is pretty important for your HR and general counsel if there's instances of misconduct or abuse. Discord doesn't support the same level of chat history/logging that businesses (of all sizes) care about.

Saved chat history is the big one. Discord is not suitable for business comms without it. Other than that: - shared channels between workspaces - threads - private messages within a workspace, instead of globally - decoupled accounts from w

It's sort of a "least bad" option. As in harms the least number of people. Schools are already struggling to handle incoming class sizes, they don't have the bandwidth to increase any throughput by holding older students

It kind of makes sense, $2 trillion of the stimulus wound up in commercial banks' deposit slips because people who didn't lose their jobs had nowhere to spend it. It's not surprising to me that people saw the markets tank, re

Anecdotally, most of my friends who kept their jobs felt guilt or shame for taking their economic impact payment when they didn't "need" it as much as someone else.

I did briefly. The CMake integration is... quite strange. It kind of has to be because of how strange the compilation model is for a JUCE project, where all your includes depend on having the same set of preprocessor definitions.

Very few C++ UI frameworks deal with accessibility or platform UX standards like zoom (ctrl +). You have to use platform/native APIs directly, or frameworks that seek to model them (which usually are not native). It's not unsurpri

The DSP module in JUCE isn't production quality, and the audio I/O integration in RtAudio is good enough for even professional use cases. JUCE is really painful to use if you want to integrate it into anything modern. It's ol

Wealth transfer/vacancy taxes are one proposed solution. There's a guy running for mayor in Berkeley that wants to impose a wealth tax for example, and his scheme to prevent people from moving is to charge massive exit taxes to ge

After MD v Wynne, I think they'd have to give tax credits to income tax paid in other states if they tried that.

Instant coffee isn't even that bad . And that Korean whipped coffee has been making the social media rounds, it doesn't take much in resources or gadgets to make. I wonder if it's maybe a cultural thing. Where I grew up in t

> fact Feinstein won on the back of a bunch of "republican" votes, cast strategically in a "blue" state where a traditional candidate wasn't likely to win Except de Leon carried the red districts. Not Feinstein.

CA has a blanket primary, which means that all candidates from all parties take part in the primary and then the top 2 compete in the general election, regardless of party affiliation. Feinstein wiped the floor with everyone in the primary

To Californians, Dianne Feinstein is one of the cosponsors of the bill in the Senate. It really grinds my gears seeing our senior leadership from California take actions that directly harm our interests, both towards our peoples' freed

I think it's fairly naive to say build times get long "only if you mess with the type system" whatever that means. It's pretty easy to tank your compile/edit/debug cycle just by adding or removing things to a h
