look at the 1:10 plate. there's colonies that isn't yeast there. luckily, it got diluted out, or, maybe that plating was a bit more careless than the others. i didnt mean to imply that all of the colonies aren't yeast.

1:100 is very countable using automated techniques.

yeah, colony on this plate is likely aspergillus spp.

no. you're mistaken. the error came about because the code calculated shares to give out as an average over certain set of values but in the particular business cycle there were no entries to average. a divide by zero error would ha

luckily no gleam software ever has to interact with outside systems (software or otherwuse) that might make a choice unidiomatic to gleam. in case it wasnt clear: a zero share tx being a tombstone is a stock accounting convention , not a

gleam's 1/0 = 0 is crazy just because the author doesn't want there to be any raises anywhere. problem is, in many real world scenarios 0 is used as a sentinel value that doesn't "just" mean 0. iirc reading s

the reasons to not use macros have to do with hygeinicity? -- macros can do things like introduce code that is hard to understand, perhaps a dynamically named function, or a difficult to chase dependency or import... moreover these can mak

"Broad strategy" is your words, not gp's. you are fighting a strawman. gp is just arguing that this is happening, and it's annoying.

ruby 1.8 -> 2 was miserable, especially as the linux distros kept 1.8 and gems started requiring 2.

note: not all of these are language changes (affects substantially how you write zig) -- many are features and optimizations, true they could affect how you think about zig (inlining monomorphic function pointers), but most people will not

to be fair at this point it seems like outside of reenabling async control flow, and eliminating cImport, the remaining major shifts are in the stdlib and not as much the language. they have cancelled the "forcing const f = fn...&quot

engines only execute one JS microtask at a time, you must run it in something, that's the runtime.

is there any system where doing the basics of http (everything up to framework handoff of structured data) are done outside of a single concurrency unit?

bad science is not fragmented. let me give you ONE example. Homme Hellinga (tenured professor at Duke) claimed to have designed a triosephosphate isomerase. his grad student Mary Dwyer (science hero) recognized it was an artefact and call

in the early aughts educators loved the shit out of python because "it forced kids to organize their code with indentation". This was about a decade before formatting linters became low key required for languages.

only if you make those bids visible. the bids are held in a buffer and at the end of the buffer, it either completes a trade or appears on the order book. iirc some market tried to do this with a literal loop with a physical latency.

it happens no matter the number of people. but if you create a directive to dump more people into science than the capacity of society to produce scientists, (and there isn't an aggressive system to cull fraudsters) you will wind up w
