Racket does too. (when (0 . < . x) (displayln "positive")) Although in Racket you could also add your own syntax.

Do you have the magical ability to see, hear, and otherwise perceive reality ? It's one thing to have sensory perceptions, it's another to consider them all somehow connected, and it's entirely another to do so while ruling

Statistics is just one way to get a correct answer, no? Or it may not even be a way to get a correct answer at all. It seems more of a checking mechanism to filter out answers which are not correct. A scientific hypothesis is correct or not

Who's to say a small number of successful-since-25 entrepreneurs just keep making successful high growth companies every 5-10 years until they're 55+? Maybe they do it more frequently on average when they're older than when t

This is more of a problem with statistics than with focusing on outliers. Per your example, if something has 0 explanation for whatever has 99% of influence, it is just not a useful explanatory mechanism. That doesn't mean there isn&#x

The point is getting a few hours of productive work in some enviroments takes more and more and more effort that it seems impossible to even keep trying.

There should be 0 problem with not being able to share publicly if it was not meant for public audiences. They really can only have one or the other. Experts can email each other.

My favourite example is "fact" vs "factitious". The word "factitious" actually means bogus, make, made up. Whereas "fact" means quite the opposite. However they both come from the same latin word &quo

Considering that BMJ made an entire article objecting to FB fact checking BMJ for public audiences [0], I really have to disagree that the article was only meant for expert eyes. Given that, a few disclaimers and limitations to help quell p

Would it be so hard to state the limitations of their investigation, and clearly explain that a few key misconceptions are incorrect? Based on their original censored article, it seems like they're heavily invested to make things seem

Yup. I'm not sure how many non anti vax people who comment in support of BMJ actually read the original article. If you are them please reveal yourself and explain how you found nothing wrong with the original article. Most of these co

This post has 2 goals. One, to de-mystify Lisp/Racket macros as they were pretty hard for me to learn. The macro is explained step by step. Two, to show the coolness of a compiler which can query the DB. I'm here to discuss. Would

How is it n^2? I can see how the DB would need to scan the index from the left side to arrive at the correct offset value O(n). But once it gets there, it should be able to load 15 rows from primary storage. (FWIW in postgres the primary ke

The curious part is why postgres can't estimate that the size of the active runs<>stacks join will be very small. A core part of query planning is estimating the best join order using a dynamic programming algorithm. So roughly,

Depends if materialization helps. As a silly example, if the CTE materializes 1/100th of a table via table scan, scanning 1/100th of a table N times may be faster than scanning the entire table N times.

This is the general concept of math: to prove one set contains another set. In some cases you prove set equality by showing each side contains the other. A simple example of this is: all even integers are divisible by two. That's two s

One, why waste $50 on a complaint which won't have any effect? Two, the bureaucracy actually should help with the real moochies. In Ontario Canada tenant protections are crazy and it can take 6+ months for a landlord to evict a non-pay

In Ontario,Canada you can pre pay for repairs, but you aren't allowed to deduct those amounts from rent. Here, you would need to front $500+ or whatever to have the work done, and then pay $50 for a Landlord and Tenant Board hearing bo

Would they get any more than the status quo? I suspect the extra support may translate to decreased profits for landowners. Tenants would have more time and money to file maintenance issues and represent themselves in the legal system, whic
