In what universe should such important public health decisions be made by elected officials largely ignorant of basic science, whom also represent also represent some of the most uneducated and misinformed people alive? There’s a reason, fo

I’m not sure that thread supports your point, tbh.

It’s so laughable that we care about whether a generated string contains some temporally relevant profanity. We truly are still barbarians, and will be viewed as such by history.

There’s a big difference between trust in a process that has so consistently yielded results vs something like faith or political adherence. It’s about the foundations upon which those results lie more so than the belief themselves, and als

I don’t think spirituality has anything to do with it. It’s about community first and foremost. We are social creatures after all. That is, unless we are going to conflate spirituality with anything even remotely related to existential rumi

Weird, since it’s not really relevant.

At a deeper level currying is just a specific application of the Hom-tensor adjunction to the category of Sets. In particular the curried function is equivalent to the original. Partial function mappings is a restriction, and inherently not

I agree. The modern hip thing to do that many consider as “having character” is to wax hyperbolically about one’s most likely pretty janky code. I see this a lot with neovim packages and it’s rather annoying, though I can appreciate the ent

Because we do? Most people are not chronically dehydrated, despite what a vocal minority would have you believe.

Don’t be daft. The intent and result are identical. It’s not “very” different at all. It’s nominally different at best, but almost equivalent in practice. It’s intellectual dishonesty to suggest otherwise.

I think the comment about types takes a rather narrow view of Python use cases. Sure, if you’re some lone sysadmin using Python as an alternative to bash to implement some questionable ETL pipeline comprising a bunch of random scripts runni

This rhetoric sounds eerily reminiscent of the double standards advocated by practitioners of so-called alternative medicine (SCAM) pseudoscience.

This is something I often wonder about. In my own experience the perceived productivity gains in prototyping often come with externalized technical debt that lead to an overall loss of productivity. Notebook-driven development tends to prod

I’m not familiar with the work in question, but this is a common theme in academic research. Sometimes there’s a kernel of an idea published by one individual which is later rediscovered independently (or not) and developed into a much more

Sinograph is the term I’ve seen used in many introductory texts on Japanese. Apparently it was added just this month to the Oxford English Dictionary. https://public.oed.com/updates/new-words-list-march-2021/

Suggesting calls for social equality are somehow analogous to concerted disinformation campaigns strikes me as exceedingly intellectually dishonest.

Focusing on the death rate as a singular statistic is highly flawed. It’s akin to not taking into account health externalities when discussing the coast of energy sources. COVID-19 has pretty severe morbidity that make it absolutely nothing

The same argument is made for not adhering to the XDG spec for user configuration files. The result is you have no real sense of specific locations for config files, shared static data, and app-generated data. If an app follows the spec you

Exactly. Boundless free time is often equivalent to no responsibilities. Im not sure how this piece ended up on HN.

Except that’s entirely the denialist straw man. It’s not we’re going to face a cosmic ray style annihilation in 10 years, but rather that we’re cavalierly approaching tipping points that will likely have repercussions for 10,000 years.

It’s really not though. The standard understanding is that a 750ml bottle consists of five 150ml (or 5oz) glasses of wine. Calling that amount a “glass” perhaps is unfortunate, but it is convenient and well understood by most. But then agai

Or perhaps the “hardcore” texts are just poorly written?
