why quote C? I read about Forth people doing that, is that it?

That may be a valid concern, but isn't that how we learn about all things? Generalize "chairness" from many examples of chairs we've seen? I feel like visualising is really helpful while getting to the point where you ac

About the math: I don't think it's just you. I'm pretty sure math is easier for everyone when visualised. So there's no need to introduce a theory of "learning styles" - it's just that some subjects are be

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I feel like bank transactions aren't always commutative. Consider: balance = 0 balance += 100 balance -= 50 You can't swap the order of addition and subtraction, because that would mean withdrawin

could you point me to some resources about the "virtual machine" you mentioned? sounds very interesting.

GPL countdown something?

how about just "auto release GPL?"

Thanks. I did some research and found out that, indeed, my vague understanding of quaternions was wrong. I remember skimming the Wikipedia article and seeing this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quaternion#Quaternions_

Okay, my wording wasn't the best here. 3d doesn't "have" 2 planes. But, for some reason, you can look in any direction in 3d by turning in two planes. Test it yourself: turning your head left-right is rotation in one pla

===== EDIT: this is mostly wrong - see jblow's reply. Sorry for misleading you into thinking I know what I'm talking about :D ===== I think of it like this: a complex number represents a rotation in a plane. You need two "coo

I don't think you (the viewer) could earn anything meaningful in that system. Afaik adsense gives the website owner profits on the order of ~0.01 cent / ad view. So "a small percentage" of that would give the viewer basi

That "randomness generating" still seems like it would be easily done locally, and it'd reduce server load. But maybe there's some more advanced mechanisms we don't know of.

I've seen the app load something (and hang up while doing that) between pokeball throws. That seems like evidence that it's asking the server about something after each throw / once every n throws. Checking if a throw resulte

Why does the author refer to this unknown robot as "he"? What use could a gender be to a nonhuman superintelligence?

GP is obviously aware of that way of using 'man'. That's why they're asking people to stop doing that. Besides, a dictionary* simply describes the way we use words - those ways can change. Language is not set in stone. *

I don't have references on this, but if there's a meaning that's used 99.999% of the time, it probably influences the way we perceive the other meanings. So the typically used man=male meaning bleeds into the man=civilizatio

I had the same idea while reading Nilay's article, but I still have a nagging feeling that there's a hole in this logic. Not sure where though...

Channels sound pretty similar to Observables/Streams/Signals from the reactive world. Weird that they didn't mention it.
