An explanation from one of the sides. There are many things in that text that could be discussed. For example, the "attacks against the education system and linguistic rights". I dare you to explain that in detail.

What is aggressive about not allowing official data to be stored in foreign servers? I wonder if, for example, the US would allow the government of Oregon to store official data about their citizens in Russian servers they cannot access. Th

The location is important if it involves data from the public administration. Nobody can avoid that "freedonia citizens registry" you talk about, but the regional government cannot take official census data and use it to fill Fred

I am not sure that would be valid. You could also use a defined constant as the limit in the Fortran program. In other words, you could argue that SIZE_MAX is part of the program, the same as the Fortran array size is defined in the program

Modern Fortran is practically a totally different language (although, maybe surprisingly, still compatible with older standards). In fact, it is a quite comfortable language to use if you need to work with vectors and matrices. In very roug

It's curious how every example you mention refers to colonies. But Catalonia is not a colony. Also, in every case you mention, there were international support for the secession, while the Catalan independist movement, in spite of its

Look, I am not a layer. I have zero experience about how to redact a sentence or how many witnesses should speak in court. And I am really surprised of how many experts you can find in Catalonia. But all these expert seem to ignore that the

We have a constitution that was voted in referendum in 1978. Most people in Catalonia voted in favor of these constitution, and Catalan parties have been an essential part of the governments we have had since then. Moreover, not even half o

I think a font like this would fit perfectly in colorForth. Combining the Shannon encoding used by Chuck Moore [1] with a similar font would be an interesting exercise. This font in particular is great. I am always intrigued by experiments

Won't this give an incorrect number of bytes for several consecutive whitespace characters? Why not using # to count the bytes instead?

I like the syntax. Being able to define a lambda with f x y = x + y or define a table with z.i = x.i + y.i looks really clean to me. It avoids the stinking loops, but it is more obvious than the implicit names used in APL&

Very honest discussion of the results. I liked it. Would it be possible to use Futhark to rewrite the APL implementation instead of the Haskell one? That would make an interesting comparison.

Your sunset post was my first introduction to GA. What a rabbit hole! It has been one of the most fascinating subjects I have got into in the last years, and very useful for my work. Thank you!

Yes, there is an in-between at which Newton laws hold. Too big for QM and too small for GR to make a difference. Fortunately, this is the scale in which we live.

That is precisely the hypothesis of the article. It looks indeed like a plausible possibility. And a scary one, because we cannot just solve the equations with total precision. From my layman point of view, it looks like a very interesting

Agreed. But we have to keep in mind that this is how science works. For example, if were strict, we could not say "there is an exoplanet orbiting that star", we could only say "there are a bunch of observations that make it s

In most cases, only one of them maters and the other is negligible: at very small scales QM rules, while at very large scales only GR is important. But in special situations, such as black holes and big bangs, nothing can be neglected and t

Although it is not exactly streaming, you can see them on-demand in tv (Movistar+ in Spain has many of them available now). So, it is not true that you have to either watch them on theater or buy a copy.

Two blocks of 4 hours of work with a break of 2 hours between them is not a bad division of time. You do not need much more time to refocus after a two hour break than after a half an hour break, but the two hours break and the larger meal
