These are great examples, and I totally agree with both of you. However, the code most people write is somewhere in the middle, so it is a more subjective decision.

But there are other benefits. You need to make a compromise and there is no win-win situation. It is true that the 10 lines version is totally obvious for everyone, but I do not agree it will make easier to understand a complex piece of cod

It's also a fallacy that a ternary operator is some impossible to understand concept that will make the code totally unreadable for everyone but you. C programmers should be fine with the use of ternary operators for something like the

Summarizing scientific articles and writing them are not the same thing. I think this is very interesting work (although I have not read the paper and my knowledge of AI and NLP is very superficial), but the headline really puts me back.

Small correction: Castilla y Leon is not a single province, it is an autonomous community that consists of nine provinces, one of which is Leon.

Good observation. There is a nice analogy to programming here. The same that one of the main tasks of the programmer is to handle errors, one of the main tasks of the engineer is to know the limitations of the tools he is using.

It is not. Every k version is in fact a new language (and rewritten from scratch every time). That said, I guess they may implement some kind of compatibility layer at some point.

They are more practical, specially when using a computer. Besides the gimbal lock problem mentioned in another problem, Euler angles are not easy to compose. It is also not obvious how to calculate the misorientation between two rotations w

You cannot design for modern hardware and avoid bloat at the same time.

I am having problems to follow your argument. I mean, I understand what you are saying, but not how you arrive to your conclusions. You say the geometric product complicates things, but while you can derive any geometric algebra result simp

How would you define rotations using only the wedge product? It is also terribly useful being able to invert these rotations. You could make it work in some way, but it is not clear to me that the result will be simpler than a GA (or quater

Fortran has evolved a lot. You can practically use any programming paradigm with it. If you chose well a subset of all its features, you can actually write quite elegant code. I have never used it for this and do not have any example, but I

When Maxwell first derived his equations in 1861, he did it without a cross product. As a matter of fact, the vector analysis of Gibbs and Heaviside was developed to formulate Maxwell equations. The most elegant formulation of Maxwell equat

NJ Wildberger, who is behind rational trigonometry, has some radical ideas. However, I do not think there is anything wrong with his results (at least most of them, his videos are great too!) and most of them could probably be applied in a

Exactly my feelings. I agree efficiency should be improved, and I would like that total travel time got shorter, but I can accept a small margin to help them adjust if that will give me a consistent arriving time.

I think this is one of the reasons he does not release his code. K is such a small language, with a very limited number of primitives, that were chosen for the task they wanted to solve. Every user would want to change that one he never use

Not only one developer. Rob Pike, Ken Thompson and Russ Cox were fundamental in Plan 9. The early versions of Go's standard library were very based on ideas taken from Plan 9 and Inferno, and even the compilers were very similar. Altho

Probably at the point new versions of your dependencies break your code. If you have no external dependencies, you should be fine. It also gives you the freedom to have your projects wherever you want.

There are a few expected (or, better said, rumored) features that have been left out. Some of them will eventually come (views), some of them probably don't (like using the unicode symbol for sqrt). I was surprised when I saw in nsl a
