Cool. I'd never heard of a PID controller... although it sounds vaguely related to a Kalman filter. Indeed: https://www.quora.com/Is-there-any-intrinsic-connection-betw... Thanks also for the link to wikiwand!

My understanding is that Go provides for this by a mechanism called embedding. You can place an object i:Inner in class c:Outer and then Outer acquires all of Inner's public interface. I think it's a nice idea. In general, Go seem

Hey mods: can we reinstate the no politics rule, please? I know I could just ignore these threads, but for some idiotic reason I can't seem to help myself from peering into and contributing to these pointless debates where everyone ess

Jeff Bezos is a master. The game he's playing is "talk, talk, fight, fight". On the one hand, his public utterances and announcements signal a detente viz-a-vis Trump. On the other hand, he continues to direct WaPo's att

I think this an excellent article, and mostly agree with the author's somewhat controversial thesis. Broadly speaking, I have noticed that language features fall into two categories. The first gives you some kind of new ability. For ex

So my girlfriend uses this quite often (she's German). She says she likes it because you can reasonably quickly "make your statement" and then wait for a reply, without the usual niceties that make a conversation longer (but

I came here to point out the hypocrisy of condemning Facebook's censorship tool while at the same time demanding something be done about "hate speech" and "fake news". Apparently, it's only censorship when the

I think we're pretty close to agreeing. I would agree, for example, to the statement that it is "unlikely" that the polls were systematically biased, for the reasons you've given. If I wanted to, I could of course pick h

Same noises coming from Europe -- today, it was Schäuble proffering this "lesson" from the US election. The degree to which the news in this country is censored or distorted is frankly maddening, and to my mind, ultimately self-de

Exactly. It makes no sense. The story is similar with regard to Irish cultural heritage. Actually, it does make sense if you look at it through the right lens. "Oppressed" => affirmative "Hegemonic" => ra
