It's AI in the rule-based GOFAI paradigm rather than modern neural-network-based ML. Treat it as a review of some of the historical classics of computer science and you can't go wrong.

"Rust makes it quite hard to do things" generally as a result of that decision. Even just syntactically it's a large overhead. It does force you to explicitly manage lifetimes at every place in your code. Which is a good exam

There is no part of that's true. The restrictions in the mendaciously named "commons clause" license are excluded by the FSD, BFSG and the file-off-the-serial-numbers copy of it that is the OSD. "Keep headers" or &q

It's about 50% C-like. Which is giving people a That Dress experience answering yes or no to the question.

I've been very surprised by Rust's complexity. Some of it seems to be being hidden over time (as well as adding new features) but its syntax at any given moment is generally more complex than C++.

It is one of my favourite works of crank science, the hardback has pride of place in that section of my library. It's beautiful, mind-expanding, awe-inspiring, and over-inflated in the grandiosity of its self-regard way past the point

While the history of science emerges from and has an ongoing productive dialogue with that of philosophy, the humanities dept. status panic confection of "philosophy of science" has very little to do with this.

This is a question that is asked by everyone, up to and including politicians who will have to tackle any future such crises. Pre-Y2K I worked to fix loan systems that would have failed had their Y2K bugs not been fixed. Not getting a loan

Both the first book and the start of the second series are among the very funniest things I have ever encountered. They have a density of invention that is truly joyous to follow.

The dealbreakers with Clojure for me are: 1. Weirdly irregular syntax. 2. Java import statements and Java error backtraces anywhere you want to do real work. 3. Inexcusable renaming and name collisions on basic Lisp functions. It's muc

It's FUD time! The LGPL is hardly "restrictive". If you aren't modifying the code, and for a codec if you are I have questions, then you've nothing to worry about. Regarding license compatibility, which actually exi

The source is being shown to the public. It's not open for them to use. To argue otherwise is to confuse a window with a door.
