This basically is how tables work in k. Tables are defined as a list of dictionaries, but in fact stored as an array for each element (ie. each column of the table is an array, but each row can be read as a dictionary).

An interesting option that I've not seen proposed yet would be to accept go:embed comments before importing a package (obviating the need to write the assets package in my previous example). So, assuming your assets are in the reposito

Besides the precious four bytes we would save for each pragma, what's the advantage of using "@" instead of "//go:"?

The best way to do this with the current proposal is to write a simple go package in your assets repository and import it. Something like: package assets // import "github.com/me/myproject/assets"

Maps are part of the language. The standard library is written in Go. There are a few special packages (unsafe, reflect, ...) but maps are not one of those cases.

In nabla9's example, S would be the "vector discrepancy". If you want to minimize the discrepancy of s and X (NB. s and X, not S and X, I think this was a mistake), you want this vector to be as small as possible. In other wo

I used acme for years with a laptop and no external mouse, just using the trackpad (and trackpoint). I never missed more buttons.

There are many good papers that would not fulfill your requirements. I agree that ideally they would go through several revisions until every detail is fixed, but rejection levels would skyrocket. We would not have many great papers. I am n

Enforcing higher standards is way more difficult than you think, even impractical most of the time. Having consensus and enforcing it is not trivial. Requiring from every PhD student the level of quality of 3blue1brown is extremely naive. Y

It's explained in the announcement. Perl 6 was already renamed to Raku, but calling the new Perl version Perl 6 would be confusing, so they are directly jumping to 7. They even show other examples of version jumps.

The LHC has not been a failure. First you complain about the lack of experimentation, then you complain when they perform experiments. It is normal in science to formulate a theory, design an experiment, and then having to discard the theor

Many of the oldest users (me included) have just moved from the more general subreddits, where those shitstorms happen, into more and more specialized subreddits. But I miss the old reddit too.

I also agree with you, but I think there are good reasons teachers face this more than other people. Everybody has been educated, all we have been exposed to the work of educators. All we have thousands of hours of experience of how the edu

None of the two examples you showed would apply to the proposed non-numeric base 46, since 0 and 1 would not be allowed. Although it is true the potential risk may be higher, it is easy to find counterexamples where this potential risk does

I would not call awk an array language. Arrays are essential in awk, but it lacks array operations. For example, in an array language, you add two arrays a and b, element by element, with a+b, while in awk you need a loop. Moreover, you do

Fair enough, and apologies accepted. I agree that many social studies lack rigor. And, unfortunately, it also happens quite a lot with more technical topics in which it is much easier to be objective. I get easily triggered when science is

Science is not a faith based system. If you doubt about the rigor of some study, by all means point the errors you find. In the meantime, I will trust those scientific studies more than subjective opinions in hackernews comments.

The term you are looking for is "tacit" or "point-free" programming. Array languages are another example.

I have tried both workflows. I used a (very) customized dwm for years, and use windows nowadays. Windows works, but dwm is really dynamic. Screenshots don't do it justice. With windows, once I have a large number of windows, working in

by yiyus 6y ago
The way dwm works, you have a main window and you have a stack. It is normal to have windows you are not using in the stack. The small window is indeed not very useful, but it is still more than the icon used in other places.

It depends, Europe is quite diverse. For example, practically everything is paid by card in the Netherlands, but cash is used in Spain. Although in these covid times, everything has to be paid by card everywhere I know.
