AFAIK they are treated as discrete, ie you cannot break it down more. that may change, but they are viewed as discrete

state machine: you have a state that you can describe. you get input, you transform the state, you maybe output something. state transition can also be viewed as input. so i believe that everything is a state machine. everything

not sure if serious or trolling but this sounds like trolling. the reason we use threads is that they are a higher level abstraction that helps us keep the cognitive load down and focused on the layer we care about.

for my own clarification purposes: why is finite vs infinite an issue? IMHO, i don’t believe we have truly infinite state unless we’re talking about mathematical abstraction.

i know it to be truth. if you go down deep enough (talking elementary particle deep) everything is discrete.

i can extrapolate even further and say that everything is a state machine. humans are a state machine, plants are a state machine, reality itself is a state machine. we don’t see it like this because of the sheer complexity, but in the end

the wine part was a joke. especially because fruit flies definitely appear to be attracted to fruit, wine, etc i believe you are underestimating how capable humans really are. all of us can learn to do math and i’m talking serious math not

yup. we have indeed. it’s a tweet instead of a blogpost.

but can it do math? can it paint? drink wine and muse on its own brain efficiency?

either you have really really smart kids or you maybe are exaggerating a little. I learned mtg as an adult playing with a friend and each and every game we would get into a situation where it wasn’t clear how/when to apply the rules -

it’s puzzling to me since I don’t understand who is going to replace the teachers. how is this going to work? also I feel like the priorities are totally wrong. on one side we invest in things that don’t matter or are harmful. on another we

yes. mtg has less physical items but they more than make up for it with rules. if you want to have a laugh look up the full official rules.

not wanting this is valid. but at what point do you stand up and not let yourself be bullied? I think a half-decent lawyer can make a proper argument that this is not a benchmark.

probably this will rub some people the wrong way but, it amazes me how people put fiction before their well being.

if you think this is ridiculous you should see how it’s licensed for cloud instances and the shenanigans played around “virtual” cores.

by rantwasp 6y ago
people have known this things for quite a while (ie as as far as perf goes oracle is not worth it) and there is a reason why oracle includes that in the license. also, this comparison would not register as a proper “benchmark” as it’s not e

i tried atom but it was atrocious when it came to even medium size files. vscode loads huge files without blinking. atom would just freeze

by rantwasp 6y ago
sure. the point is that it’s not a fork of atom. if you use leftpad you’re not a leftpad clone

counterpoint: i pay for intellij because it’s great. eclipse can be free forever but that does not make it less of a dumpster fire.

that’s a false dichotomy IMHO, price is one thing you look at as a customer. If the value you derive is greater than what you pay for it you should definitely pay the price for the product. people don’t use vscode because it’s free. they us

as far as I know no. Both Atom and VSCode use Electron but VSCode is something MS build from scratch.

by rantwasp 6y ago
seriously now. Microsoft built VSCode. It’s their fault that they managed to build something successful?
