Do you really want to watch a seal swimming for several hours? The video on top of the page contains some snippets.

I was expecting something about a native American philosopher from before time. On the other hand, the title actually is quite American.

Is there a way to statically type check a Julia program? It would be really nice if the compiler threw an error on obviously wrong code.

While option types are nice the much more light-weight approach of kotlin would suffice to solve this problem.

if lush were uncontroversially a lisp, I would have used it for at least one side project. IIRC things weren't that clear (back then when I stumbled over it) when looking at it in detail, which is why I decided not to use it (but don&#

Almost every language can do tail recursion (in most languages it will blow the stack though) but not every language does tail call optimization. This is a requirement for scheme but it is not for common lisp and many other lisps. So, I don

I think we have to distinguish between languages that use s-expressions and lisps. Almost all languages have some sort of preprocessor that make it look like lisp but that doesn't turn it into lisp. From what I vaguely remember, lush l

Are you questioning random samples? Seriously? The notion of representativeness is flawed and often does not work well in practice, i.e. it often leads to biased estimates. Unless there is a good reason for not doing a random sample (mostly

So you can configure your notebook as you would like to have it but you cannot select a non-US keyboard layout?

Erm, could somebody explain to me why I shouldn't understand this as an argument pro go given that it is about as fast as the fully optimized versions of zig and rust?

Wild life would totally benefit from nuclear power. This is often overlooked by environmentalists. Look at Tschernobyl. It's like hitting the reset button and removing humans (a bug, not a feature) from the equation.

Did they control for any potentially relevant confounder like age, education etc.? No? That said it would be interesting to do a follow up study and check how these social party tigers who liked to drink and to do sports ended up when they

Sorry for that. I said it's a nice hobby. But its heydays are over. Words don't have the magical feeling anymore they once had unless it comes to manipulation and betrayal.

"It’s not enough to sit down and read through the textbooks here once [...] I’ve learned a pretty foolproof method for studying philosophy: read everything four times." While I enjoy a close read as the next guy, I really have dif

In the present case, replication didn't fail because of statistics but because the experiment was impossible to reproduce. If it fails to replicate certain statistical outcomes, things are more complicated.

It is wrong to believe just because a result cannot be replicated the original result is wrong or fraudulent. It can be totally normal and is to be expected that a replication study fails to yield the same result just out of chance etc. Som

It's not much more difficult. Many hosting companies provide installers like e.g. cPanel that allow you to set up a Nextcloud instance within a minute.

i had some of these problems with earlier versions. removing the database (after making sure everything is on sync) usually solved the issue. but that's years ago.

The title made me think this is about reading and writing poetry. Unfortunately, the focus is on reading. I don't think you can really appreciate poetry if you don't write some. Only when you write poetry, do you begin to see and

What's the advantage of vimwiki w/ markdown over just markdown + gf (or a lean hyperlink plugin)?

Similar experience, similar conclusion but I ended up with a system around todo.txt. A note gets an todo entry and a reference to a note (in markdown). Updates sometimes get a new todo entry w/ link to the same note. Some notes are str

no, it's not elitist. I assume a human does the last decision. this human doesn't care about the content of the video (like you do) but has to make a defendable decision in limited time based on limited information.

In a sea of bullshit videos, the minions who screen this stuff probably have difficulties to distinguish some phd (in what field?) choosing the wrong channel and bullshit. Anyway, the original statement was that there are no trials - this i

where do you expect to find stock analyses that were written and published with no afterthought? All these authors have some sort of hidden agenda, don't they? Sometimes you find a useful hint at the start of some hype though.
