I do too, but this is a conference, I doubt code was provided. And even then, what you're describing isn't review per se, it's replication. In principle there are entire journals that one can submit replication reports to, wh

you have completely missed the point of the analogy. breaking the analogy beyond the point where it is useful by introducing non-generalising specifics is not a useful argument. Otherwise I can counter your more specific non-generalising an

but i suspect you're talking about tail-recursion rather than TCO specifically. Otherwise the only sensible answer is, why on earth wouldn't you want that if you could have it for free? so as for tail recursion examples, one nic

Peer review is as useless as code review and unit tests, yes. It's much more useful if everyone including the janitor and their mom can have a say on your code before you're allowed to move to your next commit. (/s, in case i

This is true, but here the equivalent situation is someone using a greek question mark (";") instead of a semicolon (";"), and you as a code reviewer are only expected to review the code visually and are not provided the

I don't know about real world "examples", but the beauty of tail-call recursion specifically is the theoretical insight that they have a one-to-one mapping with an loop-based equivalent formulation, and vice versa (which is g

That's not an e-ink device though, right? I was trying to find an e-ink tablet, amazon kept recommending me the magic notepad from xppen. It looked good, but I wasn't sure what that cryptic "x-paper display" was. The wor

If the authors are reading. I notice you used a "Soft IoU" for validation. A large part of my 2017 phd thesis [0] is dedicated in exploring the formulation and utility of soft validation operators, including this soft IoU, and the

Strawman, and bad one at that. The dating example is an example of the Shirky principle. The others are not.

Slightly off-topic, but I really hate this trend that now every developer / researcher / engineer also needs to be an actor (typically cringy one) pretending to be quirky for the camera while trying to act unnaturally excited abou

That's true to some extent, but it's also true that the side-effect of the protocol is that it results in a very different community. It's a bit like saying that the camping experience has nothing to do with not having access

Yes that's a site that I like because of the random site function, not geminispace as a whole. But just click past that.

Interesting outro. Interoperability is presumably one very big reason for this protocol. As for why, all I can say is, download Lagrange, go to gemini://bleyble.com/cgi-bin/random, and see for yourself. It's one thi

Ironically, sometimes the only thing that will get you doing the thing is explicitly not doing the thing (but also no other thing either), until there's nothing to do but the thing.
