And yet the current title ("Peter Naur's view of programming") now contains even less information about the content of the article. It may be less "clickbaity" -- I certainly am less inclined to click on it, but it

How often is "something more to the story" solid technical reasons vs something like kickbacks and bribes?

Honestly, that's minuscule compared to the flows involved.

Yeah, I was going to say that this makes the exact opposite point that he thinks it does.

I never said it didn't. It's the way they combine and interact that differs.

In standard quantum mechanics, collapse absolutely is an axiom. I really have a lot of sympathy for the Everettian no-collapse position, with effective collapse caused by interactions with the environment. Nevertheless, the measurement pr

In addition to the sibling comment, tmux has the per-pane option 'alternate-screen'. You can set its default with 'set-option -g alternate-screen off'

That last 10% matters. I absolutely need split windows, and being able to switch what is in the sub-panes easily. That's what require nesting. The fact that it also doesn't have my preferred behavior for multiple clients conne

It probably technically does, in a horrifying Turing-tarpit way. I actually did try to get the behavior I wanted out of nested tmux invocations and a hairy mess of scripts. There was no 'next-session' command (though now it looks

That would indeed by very unnatural. Fortunately that's nothing like what the Schrödinger equation says. The basics of quantum mechanics are: 1. Any system can be described in a linear "state space", whose basis vectors (roug

I hate tmux because the way it handles switching windows is terrible. The model is switching between windows, each of which can have some layout of panes. This is approximately never what I want for a long-running thing I can detach from

What wag decided on that acronym that exactly overlaps a far more prurient one?

Deadlines are usually tied to specific things. "Being productive" only requires getting one of any number of things on a task list done.

Or possibly it shifts half an hour 4 times a year. There's lots of room for experimentation and variability.
381.
by wnoise 6y ago
Yes, but why is the goal to make _everyone_ shift? I want a diversity of schedules so that commutes, errands, etc, are all more spread out.

by wnoise 6y ago
Feel free to argue that your employer should have different hours in the winter. Don't make the rest of society alter their schedule and complicate timekeeping for that though.

ARP I'll give you (though even there it's only actually in the binding of IPv4 to ethernet-like lower layers. IP over e.g. PPP doesn't need it). DHCP isn't inherent in IPv4 at all though. You want to throw it in, bec

It's not an explicit argument. Most arguments people make have lots of implicit steps and subarguments though. This is one of those cases.

I don't have a book recommendation handy. It's "just" a combination of two neat techniques. Get books on each of those and understand them each, and you have the combination. GA has been well discussed here, so, the ot

A point is the intersection of two "generic" lines in an ambient 2-d space. But you can have coincident lines which intersect in a line, or parallel non-coincident lines which have no intersection. Further, in 3-d, the majority
