As an "enterprise" Oracle user, I'd give all those up in a heartbeat if Oracle would just support proper indexing on Json values (well CLOBS with a "is json" constraint in Oracle - bleh). Meaning that I wouldn&#x27

It's usually not really defined as the limit of a series in analysis texts, but as the simultaneous greatest lower bound and least upper bound of upper and lower sums (inscribed and circumscribed rects area), respectively. THat def is

A good def for the R. integral is: the one number which is both a lower bound of the set of all upper sums (area with superscribed rectangles), and an upper bound of all lower sums (inscribed rects). That has a lot of nice properties which

I love this way of getting data out of dbs. Before the json functions existed, I was doing a similar thing with the SQL/XML functions on both Postgres and Oracle (which had practically the same set of functions thanks to the SQL/X

Little Rock is definitely wired though. I've lived in suburbs and satellites of Little Rock (West end, midtown, Maumelle, Jacksonville). Also smaller towns, White Hall and Jefferson county outside of any town, and had decent cable int

Now I'm curious, how to tell from the light poles?

Sure, what I meant by the "obvious" way of making some polynomials is: polys = [] for i in range(0,4): polys.append(lambda x: x**i) But that actually just yields the same polynomial x -> x^3 in each element

I generally like coding with lambdas, but in Python one thing I hate is that they will capture a numeric loop index by ref and not by its current value. If you try generating some polynomials x -> x, x^2, x^3 ... in the "obvious&qu

Unfortunately for those with telescopes, there's been a planet-wide dust storm since middle of June that's made seeing any surface features difficult. It's related to it being a particular good opposition, since it's cl

I agree about the shadowing. I find in some cases I need to refine a value to a more correct/cleaned/canonical form, but a separate method to establish an all-new scope is too much and would impact clarity. In those cases it&#x27

Agree, one can even throw the routine, distracting definitions to the bottom in a "where" clause, which I always thought is a beautiful feature.

Agree and Rust's biggest benefit to me over most other languages, is being able to give ownership of a mutable structure away, and knowing at compile stage that every part of the program but the receiver loses access to make further mo

Well for the autos you need to consider that they may commonly be in rush hour traffic, too, stopped and idling quite a bit.

And Scala (via Dotty) is being re-worked to have sum types with a cleaner "enum" syntax soon too: https://github.com/lampepfl/dotty/issues/1970 (merged)

Is there anything in Julia yet or planned, that would allow to specify that "implementations" (in some sense) of an abstract type must provide certain method implementations, which would be checked before any attempt to call a mis

Not to mention that if you're like me, you'll always flip two other wrong switches on the same panel before finding the one you wanted.

> at least for vms Yeah that may be a really good upside to VMs, that they enable new OSs to have a more level playing field with the established OSs. Letting the VM layer handle all the messy details of real hardware.

The 2+ updates are really more like point releases which might add some features and/or break some things here and there, but are in no way comparable to the huge 1.x -> 2 "just rewrite it all" jump. Naming matters though,

I think the biggest reason that Julia might not satisfy your definition of "computation language" is just that Julia has a significant runtime, as a garbage collected language. So it's not really suited to writing something a

Came here to see if anyone noticed this. You can actually make a field of Z using a bijection to the rationals Q, which do exist. But then you aren't using the standard operations, but using the ones inherited from the particular mapp

Meh - Where I'm employed, in my "flyover state", I get to use the technologies that I like, some of which aren't very mainstream, and also I really like the developers I work with. Not arguing the money aspect, but there

I noticed this in the data of some scientists I work with. Another awful thing is that when you tell them they need to format the column as text to prevent this in the future, before the data is put in the column (very important!), they&#

I imagine bit errors are highly unwanted on any domain when they occur in pointers, especially on those that are written through. Some languages make that more likely than others of course with heavy use of references.

Sounds closer to type classes usage a la Haskel than what I'd call OO (late binding)?

"Crushed" is maybe a little strong. Won by a tenth, but at lower speed, runner ups were gaining and would have overtaken had it been a bit longer.

R comes to mind, where once in a blue moon a matrix result will happen to only have a single column, which R helpfully decides should be turned into a simple vector, which then doesn't have the matrix operations available anymore (like

Nuts this hasn't gotten more attention here. Looks like a big step forward for the language.

IIRC Kotlin can only do it on inline functions on type Params explicitly marked reified
