Yes, both apply regardless of depth (as long as it is finite, I imagine).

I don't think this is right at all. Digital computers express non-continuous functions, and they sometimes use those to approximate continuous functions. For example, for a function f(x) defined on R with f(x) = -x if x < 0 and f(x)

It's incredible to me how widely this is misunderstood. The universal function approximator theorem only applies for continuous functions. Non-continuous functions can only be approximated to the extent that they are of the same &quo

I think it's more that Japanese speakers just don't have those types of sounds in their phonetic repertoire. Some may be able to pronounce them, but most will not (and may not even notice the difference). Every person has a certai

I don't think this is strictly a technical problem, at least not when it happens in international contexts (it's inexcusable for your own country's authorities to not be able to record your actual culturally-specific name). T

I think that's still a very surface-level element. Nothing of the details or the actual tone of the stories generally survives. The atmosphere is rarely oppressive in the show, it's typically clinical. The Ushers themselves are ge

As a Romanian as well, I was quite surprised to find out that Mihai Eminescu was one of the people who translated Poe's work in Romanian. This was especially surprising given how much more modern Poe's work felt compared to Emines

I would say Fall of the House of Usher is at best surface-level related to Poe's writing. It mostly references character names, a few poem lyrics, and some plot points. But it doesn't have anything of the actual soul of his work,

I'm not sure what you mean. What does UDP have to do with acceptable service? If you want to prioritize certain kinds of traffic, you either to do deep packet inspection, or you trust IP-level QOS info (which you probably shouldn'

Yes. Though, to me it seems that the article's explanation is the ELI5 of your equation, not the other way around...

Is there anything in the design of UDP that constrains what QUIC would have wanted to do? If it used a different ID in the IP packet, would it really change anything about the UDP headers? I would say UDP is such a simplistic protocol you c

While trimming fat from excessively complex web pages would be nice, HTTP over TLS over TCP has some very clear fundamental inefficiencies that need to be addressed sooner or later. The biggest one is that there is just no reason to negotia

Interesting to see he is very clearly against what IBM Red Hat is doing. Not surprising, since it was the obvious thing to say about it (they are trying to prevent you from using the full rights given to you by the license). Still, nice to

Instead of doing something like `export A="64:ff9b::"` and then using `ssh $A1.3.3.7`, it's apparently much easier to install a new software package and do `export LD_PRELOAD=/the/new/package` and hope it doesn

I would honestly be shocked if UPS didn't have different agreements with big shippers.

Given that this is a new form of cold fusion, this is merely bad science and will not "solve" anything. Shameful for NASA of all places to spend money on such a hoax.

The fallout from a dirty bomb would be relatively easily cleaned up with showers and a few hoses on streets and buildings. The people close to the blast would also inhale some radioactive dust which will be a much bigger problem, but most o

I don't really write C too much, but I thought `if err = functionWithErrorReturn() { handleError(err) }` was a somewhat common idiom.

Even if Go allowed both capture-by-value and capture-by-reference, this issue would have arisen when using capture-by-reference. For example, in the following C++: auto v = std::vector<int>{1, 2, 3}; auto prints = std::vector&lt

In a for-in-range loop, the variables are read-only inside the loop body, so there is no way to skip this. I do agree that there are reasons to modify the iteration variable in a C-style for loop, so I am surprised that those loops are bein

This is a bug related to decoding what the user believe is a protobuf file but actually is a length-prepended protobuf file. The article would complain about whoever wrote that file, not about the code that is reading it.
