Others have refuted the "--someone not famous" part of your shallow dismissal so I won't go there, but also my understanding from the post is that "few people know about" is because the book isn't published yet

In case you missed it, this paper as I understand it is not about proposing a new "one true bnf" to become the new standard, it's about making meta-specifications for easily writing down a formal spec of how the language gram

Just as we can tie our shoes without studying knots, many people can feel iambic pentameter without having any idea what the term means. Many can't, too, or can but only vaguely. Still, those people are still on par with chatgpt when i

When I clicked I had the vague sense that I had seen "code at the speed of thought" elsewhere, and a quick google showed that it's a pretty common thing for people to claim, especially about editors or related features. Maybe

The useful thing about mathematics is that it gives you tools to prove that your solution will work for all problems of a certain class. Hacked together code usually doesn't have that property, and if it does then it just is mathemat

The point of risk management isn't that you never have any losses, it's that your losses won't be large enough to produce a crisis (e.g. where you can't honor withdrawal requests). If the other party is also managing the

I agree, and would add that this is exactly what the OP is saying when it talks about this being a communication issue. Saying "a branch is just a ref" is the right attitude for talking to git and making it do what you want it to
