Went to an IRC chat room when I was learning C in school. Asked if you could return a pointer to something that lives on the stack. Was talked down by an all-knowing dude telling m…

Fighting stupidity, laziness and a misplaced love for typography in software developers

So are you fine with the idea that I get twice as much money and decision power than you, all things beyond worked hours being equal ?

A few remarks on methodology in linguistics (the science). A phone is a class of sounds (as opposed to their instances which are all unique) that can be reliably described by artic…

I watched a documentary about domestication a while back. Turns out there are many "corollary features" to being domesticated: for instance, ears falling down are also to be found …

It is not that simple

The more I read about quantum mechanics the less i understand, and I'm absolutely unable to get into a proper learning path because it requires mathematics beyond my level and for …

I don't get the reference, would you mind explaining? On a related note, I've always been baffled by Coursera founder & ML fame Andrew Ng's name. How am I supposed to pronounced it…

They built other libraries on top of this [1] [2], and when compared to mobx [3] it indeed looks very similar, however I think the target ideal of having a small core on top of whi…
