I listened to them the other day, and I can't say I find them interesting additions to the Bach repertoire, certainly not in comparison to works that date to just a few years later.

Now you can run it on more platforms.

The consensus is that your comment is way off-topic.

Yeah, go ahead, query the file system.

Idk. It's hard to hit The Netherlands in particular, since trade is with the EU as a block, not with individual countries.

There's no difference between for (x of a) stmt; and a.forEach(x => stmt), except for scope, and lack of flow control in forEach. There's no reason to prefer .forEach(). I don't see how it is "more functional."

Unless you need the index, you can write: for (const x of iterable) { ... } or for (const attribute in keyValueMap) { ... }. However, loops often change state, so it's probably not the way to go if you can't change any variable.

The author does have a point about making incursions so normal we no longer react to them.

They are absurd abbreviations. The first distinguishing letter comes right after auth, so ... let's hide it?

Another physicist who thinks he can solve problems in a domain he knows nothing about with linear approximations. There's an xkcd devoted to this problem, even using computational linguistics as an example, IIRC.

I'll repeat it again: you don't always want a relational database. Sometimes you need a document-oriented one. It matches quite a lot of use cases, e.g. when there aren't really interesting relations, or when the structures a

I don't see how ad-blocking is unethical. There are companies that make money by placing ("out of home") ads in the public space. Not looking at those would then also be unethical? Priests sermoning on "thou shalt not hi

YouTube had a $10B Q3. I cannot imagine them spending $10B on servers and staff in three months.

You could try to use profiles instead of private browsing. It keeps things separated.

I got the HP15C Collector's Edition, because I always lusted after those HP calcs, and never could afford one. People in this thread asking: why? Well, many of the calculators on screen are simply worse, or copies of decent calculators

I visited Rumania around the year 2000. I remember being surprised by the sight of a whole bunch of similar Dacias at the end of a (muddy) street, in various state of disrepair. The person we visited explained that people were repairing the

Benefits after job loss are not UBI. Really weak clickbait attempt.

It's pretty tangential, but > It’s not clear to me how a specific next friend is established - what if the god has a lot of friends? reminded me of Pratchett's Small Gods. If you needed a random book recommendation, this is it.

What's the point of saying that it is "very well suited to all applications that are concerned with money" and then write 3.6028797018963967E+143, which is obviously missing a few gigamultiplujillion.

They're not the same thing, although visual migraines can appear at the start of a "real" migraine. It's a distortion of vision with glitchy geometric patterns that pulsate and move a bit. Here are some attempts to recre

It looks like visual migraine to me.

Vegetables aren't "carb-heavy". And we don't need to recreate blindly the circumstances evolution had to adapt us to. E.g., our bodies evolved when the population was much smaller, but I don't think you want to argu

Not all things labeled "processed foods" are bad, it seems. There are enough scientists that say the distinction is often hypocritical (example from an article: a factory-made carrot cake is labeled UPF, but a home-baked one isn&#

I can't read the link, as the post has been deleted, but even when everything in a text is factually correct, it still can be misleading. Fact-checking by an LLM is however not acceptable to many. They have no responsibility, and Grok

Sorry, but that's a bit of hyperbole. Candy Crush may be NP complete (in some sense), but that doesn't make it hard to play.

Software freedom, at least for end users, is a smokescreen, too. I can revert your argument: "you want more ransomware because of a few OSS enthousiasts?" What we need is a way to curb the excesses, such as high entrance barriers
