The reason I don't order from restaurants directly is because I usually don't know what I want to eat, and those third party ordering services give me more insight as a consumer as to what's available to me and at what price.

You're right, I just don't care for the author's notes on language design because they're all on syntax design, which is an impossible task to do in morsels without knowing anything about the rest of the language or how

I disagree. The syntax design should flow from the design of the language itself and whether or not you use prefix or postfix notation for type annotations depends heavily on what makes sense within the semantics of the type system. Design

The forward is also essential reading, even for those uninterested in the math. It's one of the best descriptions of a field of science I've ever read.

The fucking huevos on Forbes to publish this article alongside the most godawful CCPA opt-out flow I've seen yet... Clicking the "do not sell my info" link takes you to a page where it asks you for your personal information t

Maybe a better question is, "what does Urbit do ? Like, specifically - and using either standard technical jargon, comparison to other products on the market. Because at this point it just sounds like a techno-cult.

This interview was refreshing to read and the comment section far too toxic for the content.

I'm going to build my opinion on the software on whatever version they claim is officially supported for my machine. If they don't want to do a good job supporting the OS I run then don't support it, or call the support a bet

I need this one for design review meetings... "what does everyone think about using ___ here?" https://youtu.be/YP5-lgFaCBg?t=19 And one of my favorite radio calls of all time, "he's got blockers!"

We can't innovate against the corrupt administrators over federal agencies that are incompetent to the point of cruelty. We can't innovate against a population that has been brainwashed into distrusting scientists and experts. We

What bothers me is that they provide a single line to enter your information instead of the same form they have on your tax return. For probably good reasons they won't tell you if your input information is valid, if you intentionally

GM had 0% interest for 84 month loans on their trucks for awhile there. something is very wrong with the lending market when it makes sense to give people free money.

No, constexpr is not the same thing as template expansion. The decidability problem as I understand it is, "does the template expansion halt?" And since the template syntax in C++ is Turing complete, the answer is "you can&#x

I think the hiccup here is the notion that an open form expression doesn't have a closed form representation, which is not always the case. Closed forms exist for infinite series and vice versa. 1 - sum{k=1}^{\ifnty} 10^-k is one examp

Google is unusable for product search. It's too heavily gamed and optimized not to show you things you want to buy, but things Google is paid to show you. It makes it too difficult to get the information you want to make the purchases

Isn't it well known that C++ templates are Turing complete? Aren't most metaprogramming facilities in other languages as well?

I think the mistake in your thinking is that infinity is a value or reachable destination. It's a concept and it behaves differently than a number. Also go read Generatingfunctionology and Concrete Mathematics

Not to mention that death lags infection by 1-2 weeks, your site shows that pretty nicely (the lull in new infections several weeks ago mirrors the lull in new deaths). We haven't crested the peak in death until a few weeks after we cr

Proof never proves it only implies. People are just bad at weighing how much proof there is and how heavily it implies something. Nuance is inconvenient in policy discussion and public discourse. Science also doesn't seek disproof. It
