My (perhaps naive) thoughts on this are - suppose a 16k-packages-in-one-directory solution were just as fast as a 16k-packages-sharded-by-prefix (the CPAN solution), then the former is conceptually simpler and so should be preferred. And th

I'm not who you're asking the question to, but I dislike DrRacket because (when I used it last year) it took too long to load (iirc, intellij started up faster and they have to support a lot more features)

Clearly the question then would be, why is the Federal Cigarette Labeling and Advertising Act of 1966 not unconstitutional, since it "compel a company to convey a message it disagrees with"? (I don't know the answer and could

Are you referring to JSXTransformer? I thought that was deprecated?

Hey, a lot of companies I interview with use coderpad, which I'm guessing you're competing with. It does seem like your product has more features than them, but my guess is that it is not enough of an improvement to make companies

Hi Jared and Trevor, I'm building games and tools for language learning. While talking to users, I asked them what language learning tools they wished existed when they were studying in the past. A lot of them talked about a tool that

> A bit more consistency doesn't have to come at the expense of terseness and expressiveness. Yeah, mathematicians are often ambiguous out of laziness, because they have no incentive to make it terse+unambiguous, and making it terse

I see. While it is probably true that the number of people who use it for AC circuit analysis and other applications for which the rotation analogy is appropriate is rather large, complex numbers are not "fundamentally about" rota

I'm not arguing that bypassing the WSJ paywall causes damage to WSJ - I'm personally not sure that it does. What I'm arguing for is that if for some reason WSJ needed to prove in court that a paywall-bypassing tool causes the

Hey, I'm doing a pure math/CS double major so I can probably answer your question. I honestly prefer notation to be as terse as possible when reading/writing proofs. Oh either case reading notation is a tiny part of the effor

I used to write a lot of python, and the hard part is that as you write code you're pulling in more and more external libraries, and sooner or later one of them will be incompatible with python 3. Then if you want to continue using pyt
