A decades old national train company is about as far from a startup as can be. That's a really strange comment.

Nobody outside of tech circles actually cares about how facebook's parent company is called this month. It's still facebook, it's still google, it's still twitter. Not meta, alphabet or x.

> But cock is as universal a swear word as you will find on this planet. It's not, though. Come to France, say "coq" - people will wonder why you're talking about roosters all of a sudden. Holy Anglo-centrism, Batman.

A press release isn't an academic document, though. I don't really see how academic style is relevant here.

I am extremely skeptical about the idea that 10% of the population has a phobia of serpents severe enough to avoid learning a programming language named after a kind of snake .

"Coq" is also the first letters of the creator's name (Coquand).

Completely different beast. Raspberry pis are full blown computers. Arduinos are microcontrollers with a little supporting circuitry. Even a pi zero beats a standard arduino out of the water.

You do realize that B1 is lower intermediate level...? This isn't exactly the flex you think it is. Besides, learning a language isn't about exams or certifications. It seemed to me that we have very different ideas of what learni

Really? Try to pronounce "ecole" (I'm omitting the accent on purpose). Does it sound like the end of "café" or the first sound in "mère"? It's impossible to confuse the two. I'm really curious as

I must say, I'm really skeptical of all these apps. I've tried pretty much all of them (well, not literally all of them, but a lot). I've had to move/travel quite a lot in my life, and I tried to get a "head start&q

Why give the possibility to the user of deleting a customer, in that situation? Having orders pointing to inexistant customers sounds rough.

Where did you learn this definition? It's the first time I hear something like this. I very much doubt that it's a generally accepted definition.

I'm talking about the author of the article, Lipton. Not Barbeau who is the subject of the article itself, not its author.

No, that looks wrong. Take c = 2, for example. You seem to be saying that p^2 ought to be a solution. But D(p^2) = 2p (because D(p^2) = D(p) p + p D(p) = p + p = 2p).

It is, indeed, not differentiation in the sense you're used to. Here it just means a map that satisfies the Leibniz rule, (fg)' = f' g + f g' or D(fg) = D(f) g + f D(g). Maps with this property are usually called "d

The article also contradicts Wikipedia, e.g., the article claims that Barbeau introduced the derivative in 1961, but Wikipedia gives several references to Shelly's definition of the derivative in 1911. You'd expect an emeritus pro

Memorial service? What are you on about? In all likelihood, nobody here had met the guy, and HN would hardly even be on his radar. Picture yourself at a coffee place discussing some celebrity's life event and maybe it won't be so

You must be joking. I write and receive emails containing lists, hyperlinks, or blockquotes all the time. I don't need the last flexbox technology, but some formatting is important.
