If you know so little about a major, long term authoritarian dictatorship, consider this evidence you need to educate yourself.

What’s the dev experience actually like for serious Lua? I’ve only used it for some basic neovim configuration. The dynamicism and lack of type hinting in Python that was the norm when I started having to review professional code, after tra

As a mathematician and also someone who has programmed for quite awhile I think any programmatic formalism will fail at inculcating the underlying understating. My bias of course is that I learned mathematical concepts via academic papers.

It’s not about elitism. It’s that there are so many confounding factors that even a well-informed approach makes such a study comtain very little of value Comments like yours expose a particularly distasteful amount of hubris.

Ignoring latency for a second, one of the tricks for boosting quality is to utilize consensus. One probability does not need to call the lesser model 30x as much to achieve these gains sorta of gains. Moreover you have to take the purported

Just an anecdote but I was with my young child in GG park not too long ago and perhaps 50 meters from the artierial road encountered a homeless guy brandishing an axe. This in in a spot that routinely fields families.

I’d like to say, “Is this not obvious?” but I’m not sure I fully appreciated what follows until I had a sufficient level of exposure to abstract mathematics. A core element of problem solving is reduction, be it to logically equivalent form

I encounter some bogus undocumented password constraints probably half the time I create an account. Usually it is a maximal length requirement that is not mentioned in the error message. Don’t defend these idiotic practices.

I’d caution against trying to project too much. The portability is almost equivalent to the form factor itself, in many cases. To the point you’re responding to, I can actually think of numerous scenarios where my phone is the preferred dev

Your intuition is right. One would say “will have to bake their own bread at home”.

A generic homomorphism does not induce any isomorphism to a subset of B that I can think of unless it is already injective. The isomorphism you’re after is rather from the quotient structure of A mod the kernel to the image.

Do you have any stats to support this is some “huge movement” relative to whatever is considered standard practice? I ask this as an honest question since I’d never heard of the phenomenon, but am not steeped in OSS dev work by any means.

It’s a bit more nuanced. An individual practitioner might not have malicious intent, but the industry itself could largely be fraudulent. Take for example a well meaning physic or purveyor of some pseudoscientific medical modality. The very

This depends heavily on your workflow. For example I use vim almost exclusively for editing files, and drop back into the shell to use external tools (e.g., git, linters, formatters, debuggers, file tree manipulation, etc.) So my terminal e

Scientific progress almost always presents as series of iterations, not punctuated breakthroughs. Moreover, many significant advances appear nearly simultaneously. This tends to suggest a measured progress, though obviously still largely un

There’s tons of folk routinely driving EVs from the Bay Area to Tahoe / Yosemite. It’s like any inconvenience though. I used to bicycle commute everywhere that was within about a 20 mile radius. Rain, shine, or snow. This was so routin

The ticket seems to be describing virtual wrapping. Interesting that this is a strict requirement for you. I’ve personally never used this feature in any editor. I disable it when I can. Personally, I just find such “long” lines too difficu

I have the opposite experience with ligatures owning to years reading academic mathematics papers before coding seriously. I can still parse semantically dense symbology significantly faster than most code (even with years of experience) to

Sounds like you’re just not familiar with the relevant gestures? I can’t say I’ve had a single issue with my M2 trackpad.

That site is weirdly unreadable. What’s with the stupid background colors and graphic that obscures text?

What you’re describing sounds pretty much like any programming language.

As a mathematician, the least fun I have is when interacting with a CAS. The degree to which one needs to do this tends to be field specific, but the tedium of calculations seen is most undergraduate courses is negligible.

This sounds like it’s spoken from someone who doesn’t understand a lick about sql. Pandas has one of the worst APIs I’ve ever seen. Truly a blight on the data processing landscape.

This is literally the type of confirmation bias people use to justify taking supplements that have no plausible mechanism of working. Congratulations.

It’s exceeding easy to cook eggs on stainless steel or cast iron. If it’s a compelling reason to stick to Teflon this implies to me you’ve never bothered to spend 5 minutes learning to cook eggs on these substrates.
