wow, this was very enlightening! I was wondering if you could elaborate a little bit on what you mean by: > as you're locally specifying the args without any further IFS interference I know that IFS = Input Field Separator. But how

Wow! Glad to be part of your journey in discovering linux. I have been amazed by linux since my teenager years and it still has so much more to offer. May we be blessed to be amazed for the eternities of our mortal lives.

> There are no two Russells What? Okay, I really didn’t realize that it’s just one Russel. I mean if you read the first paragraph and don’t have background in philosophy you would assume there were two persons named Russel after reading

I was halfway through the third or fourth paragraph and thoroughly confused which Russel is the author talking about. I don’t understand why the author mentions the first Russel if the article isn’t (mainly) about a comparison between the t

Sounds like your dad was a lot of fun! I “cheated” my uncle by telling him I already know how to drive and took his stick shift to the neighboring ground to play on my own :)

Taking the television example a bit far - one can imagine that one company makes radio, other makes ~telephones~ cellphones, oven, etc. These are all electronic gadgets that are used for different purposes. However, most if not the entirety

Which option is cheaper depends on how you tax/incentives the system. We tax cigarettes so that it becomes expensive and puts pressure on the system to reduce consumption (in addition to raising awareness etc. which is not the point he

I really liked the last quote: > It’s worth also pointing out, based on the title of this slide, that Intel still believes in Moore’s Law. > Just don’t ask how much it’ll cost. I once got an opportunity to ask something similar to an

Ohh no! Human to human connections are far too important to maintain in today's glocalized world.

This is not a substantive comment. You could’ve taken a bit more effort and provided some thoughtful comments on how meditation can help you be in touch with your emotions etc. Simply saying meditation equals watching your breath doesn’t he

I would like to agree with you, but I am not sure I understand how internet has been weaponized. Can you please elaborate on how the internet is/can harm?

Small nitpick : Hindi not Hindu. The former is language which one can learn. The latter is, depending on how you ask, is a (group of) religion(s)/way of life. On the other hand, let’s compare internet to nuclear fission. Clearly lot be

Not much, I actually learnt RoR before I got into Ruby. The basic syntax is simple and you don’t need much Ruby magic to get a typical CRUD app up and running in RoR.

Isn't this dependency injection though? As in, the caller must manage the buf() dependency on it's own - promoting performance and other qualities like code reuse. For example, the caller might have a library that manages creating

I would like to read more about this many eyes hypothesis (and its falsification). Could you please share some links for the same?

Depends on what you mean by wings. The word wings here has multiple meanings, with commonality that they both are involved in flying. However, they differ in their operation, i.e. one thing flaps the other doesn't.

Thanks, I finally found in your reply what I couldn’t put in words to my family and friends. Is there any quantitative or qualitative evidence to improve (make stronger) point #2 ? Edit: I am talking about attention when I said #2

Could you please tell us how rust is better at functional programming than OCaml? Your comment appears unsubstantiated to me. I am not sure how you reached the conclusion of equating learning OCaml with learning BASIC, but I would be happy

Thank you very much for your answer. It gave me a lot to think about. To answer your question - I have been told by my peers and teachers that I have “potential”, some pointed out that I am exceptionally good at grasping new concepts. From

I think the defining characteristic if machine learning system is that they get better as they experience more (see more examples). The question then the ask is two fold (a) do de-nosing techniques improve when they see more samples? (b) do
