Define “use”. I have several email accounts that I hardly ever use, and it’s the same case for many of my peers. Most people over 45 I know have email accounts they do check regularly. Yes, more young people are aware of and connected to

I’m not seeing that. Are you by any chance on mobile?

Your results may be bad for the first week, but the better results you get later on have everything to do with Google’s long-term user-base.

It has nothing to do with the number of products, it’s what they do with their influence over the market. See AMP and incompatibilities between Gmail & IMAP, for example.

If their goal was to minimize participation and competition, then they certainly succeeded. I don’t think being unfamiliar with something should ever be outright disqualifying.

Post it when you do! Might be worth making it open-source so not only one person has to do it :P

If you need someone to tell you whether eggs are going to kill you, then you are beyond help. What you are complaining about is not academia, but the reporting on academia. Most institutions hardly even blink when a study about the health b

It remains to be seen whether most software developers value the services that Wolfram provides enough to swallow the proprietary pill.

A license that makes source code available while restricting how it can be used: https://www.mongodb.com/licensing/server-side-public-license

They’d have to use a license similar to MongoDB’s.

I don’t think OP is axe-grinding, just responding to Wolfram’s naïve sentiment of “I don’t get how anyone could possibly see any downsides to this!”

I don’t think being forced to upgrade is as much of a concern as receiving incompatible upgrades, or not receiving anything at all. Remember, Wolfram is trying to reach industry here, not just individual software developers.

Using a Mac. Can confirm that almost everything that’s actually built upon by other stuff is open-source. Even much of Apple’s development software is open-source.

How so? I know Haskell has pretty extensive type inference, but I’m not sure exactly how it relates here.

I just think it’s absurd that @Sir_Cmpwn is using the rhetoric of peace and war in a discussion about a programming language.

Does the ‘V’ stand for “Victorian” or “Verizon”? ;)

It’s not. The only caveats are that you have to mark porn as porn, and you’re not allowed to get paid for it. Source: https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/xwavkq/j

I don’t want to minimize any of the work being put into this, which is clearly not a trivial amount, and is actually quite interesting and useful for learning purposes. That being said, I have some blunt criticism to offer that I hope provi

A tempo-correct version of the default tune, which was really getting on my nerves: [:piano {:tempo 130} 1/8 :c :c 5/8 :a 1/8 :f :g :f 3/4 :d 1/8 :d :d 5/8 :a# 1/8 :g :a :g 3/4 :e 1/

I’m not really sure what you mean by “the rules for the ordering of inline side effects”. I think they’re usually relatively simple to understand, such as with postfix and prefix incrementation operators; but I’m sure there are other cases
