I'm pretty sure APL (if not APL, definitely J) also does this too and APL was designed as a common "mathematical" language for expressing computation.

I'm a huge fan of Michael Penn's intro to various subfields of math videos, like the one on vertex algebras. He does a great job of balancing definition with motivation so that it doesn't feel like wading through a meaningles

Imperial Japan was something else, truly. I just finished Dan Carlin's six-part Hardcore History series called "supernova in the east" which covers a lot of context in an attempt to help people like us understand the zeitgeis

No, it's more than just words. Would you want to participate in a profession where roughly 50% of your colleagues go behind your back to spew outright hatred at your ethnic group? Do you think you have a right to know about such behavi

The paper explicitly claims that it doesn't identify users, merely links posts to IP addresses which belong to autonomous systems that are owned by universities or other elite institutions.

Sorry if this sounds harsh, but you need to have a little more empathy for those aren't part of your "white boys club." Don't you think women and minorities need to know if their colleagues are posting their horribly sex

How does one even begin to refute these claims (assuming they're not completely nonsensical and baseless) without you simply calling them one of the "mind-controlled" or one of those doing the controlling? Anyways, post some

Racial homogeneity doesn't necessarily explain why you don't get mugged at night. A mugger doesn't see race; a mugger sees money, or lack thereof on their own part. Threatening someone with violence is their path of least res

It's impressive that this appears to be done entirely with HTML and CSS. The humor, however, is opaque to me. I do have a lot to learn from this though, and I will be reading the source.

I don't think you're aware of this but the individual you're responding to has a vendetta against Nix. Watch and you'll see shallow dismissals of Nix on every thread here by them. From what I can tell, they tried it once

The frontend uses Karax, which is my favorite frontend/SPA library in any language. It is an absolute joy to use, even if it's a bit rough around the edges. https://github.com/karaxnim/karax

On the contrary for me, playing around with nix and nixos is how I procrastinate everything. It's incredibly effective.

When a measure becomes a target, it becomes useless as either. What is "productivity"? Does your definition accurately encapsulate all externalities? I'm going to tell you the answer: it doesn't. Stop using productivity

The "this will require violence" argument makes no sense. If you live in the US, everything you have is the end result of some horrific violence. Inferring a need for violence to achieve some ideal is a completely useless analysis

The TI-Nspire CAS (computer algebra system) can do very complicated symbolic antidifferentiation, like ones that you'd do by hand with repeated integration-by-parts. It can even solve many kinds of simple ODEs!
