Yeah, I wanna see shell scripts, puppet and vimrc files, C++ tricks, coding techniques, circuit teardowns, MCU hacks, and docker discussion...! (Seriously) Not WikiLeaks and censor…

> Repeat after me: all technical problems of sufficient scope or impact are actually political problems first. How does a "fat pointer in C" or "devops for ML" become political? I'…

I guess if you go through life with your eyes closed, or only listening to one side, then I can see how you'd think that. There's no place to start with someone as ignorant as you.…

Facts are different than opinions. When you lie you lie. If you're so distorted by Trump's daily lies, then I pity you.

One side wants to help people, the other side wants to punish people. It is very clear from your post history that you are the "I got mine fuck you" breed of conservatism that has …

Yes you can. You're just one of those mentally wounded MRAs who wants to burn everything down in the name of Trump. You are literally bringing up "death panels" as an equivalent ar…

> I always want to emulate my seemingly-more-efficient colleagues Heh, well put. Me too. I come to HN looking for... well... "hacks".

The number of people in this thread defending the right to spread billionaire-funded lies, propaganda, and misinformation under the guise of free-speech is drop-dead astonishing. L…

> you don't think there's any need for a way to determine whether two real numbers are equal. You are putting words in my mouth. And you clearly do not understand the answer. I gue…

You asked for a "law" of equality (whatever that is) and provided an answer that proves it converges to 1. What more could you possibly want?

Hmmm... I would find this extremely error-prone. Probably due to my own issues, but flipping through multiple remote sessions in tmux in the same window would get confusing after N…

I'm not sure if you are asking for an answer or a rhetorical question? I'll assume the former. Your terms are bit jumbled, so let's keep it simple: you're asking how to prove if an…

Yep. Agree 100%. It is like the blue dress. I think the problem is the repeating function. Infinite things are non-intuitive and should be presented differently. Even here on HN yo…

You can't have a double-blind with only one side. Unfortunately the other side is unethical.

> I say this as someone who passed 2 semesters of graduate QM. THat's funny because my EE math concentration was on advanced calculus. I took two semesters of a-calc and got A's, b…

Sorry, I do not.

Funny, I now treat everything as a promise: all my functions are async because it keeps the interface simpler: if they don't return a promise, they are just a normal function, no h…

I think you're going to point out that I'm about to demonstrate non-JavaScript nuances, but here are issues I've encountered: Let's take a great of example of where promises are us…

Short answer: there isn't an easy answer. Yet. (Give QC another 50 years). Proof? Just look at all the replies you got: each one is dozens of pages of complex (imaginary) math, con…

I always skip to the async part of JS text because explaining it is a bit like handing a shotgun to a five year old. I think the folks over at risingstack have the best explanation…

That confused me as well. Did you find it? (And the chapter number ordering doesn't reset with sections, not a big deal, just odd)

For me the weird parts jump out in the very first definitions. I'm not used to thinking of M, C, and K as "all possible messages, ciphertexts, and keys". It never occurred to me to…
