I originally used Guttenburgh to get Hamlet and coded the Quanta method in Python and it did not work. I then moved to Algorithm 1 in the paper and got Copilot to (mis) convert it …

It seems that if you have a table of valuesthat is acceptedby OEIS by submitting the anti-diagonalised form of your original table, THEN, you can only search for sequences within s…

Yep. Fun, weather protection, and small - just too pricey at the moment.

I don't want an electric Suv - I need an electric Carver for £5,000 and a car share of something larger and more luxurious for less frequent long trips.

Python is a scripting language. It allows me to develop a right answer in record devopment time and with a high degree of confidence that the result does what it needs to do. If, t…

"People don't use...". They did and they will and you will have to read and understand and maintain that cruft for years to come.

Lingua franca "language used as a means of communication between populations speaking vernaculars that are not mutually intelligible." Javascript is too Web focused. Python and C a…

Stick to a detailed comparison with... Shell !? So that's the context for universality he's touting.

The articles structure makes it difficult to comprehend.

Code is helped by being readable. Saying your code is going to "look like sh£t anyway" seems rather defeatist, and an _excuse_ to write unreadable code.

Oh my blog isn't giving an analytical solution, if that is what you want to do, it is simulating the problem to find a solution. (The video does do an analytical solution though).

The solution of "working out loud" needs to be expounded.

Even so, Go seems less succinct in comparison on several tasks. Such differences will most likely be magnified in larger programs.

Go does seem more verbose than Python. Rosetta code tries for idiomatic solutions to common tasks, here's one such completed in both Python and Go: http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Bitc…

You can say that, but it doesn't make it so. Go here: http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Category:Go for many examples of more succinct Python with better commenting than the Go code, for…

Not a recipe for learning to write idiomatic code in any new language. (I mostly hear of C++ programmers that really only write C).

There seems to me to be an overlap between Matz's typng ideas and some of the "static" typing generated by Julia: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhlVHoeB05A https://www.youtube.co…

I've asked for more info on that so I can see what needs fixing and if these non-zero-exit values appear for me.

My apologies. I didn't know it was a technical term.

Ouch. Onboarding? You can't communicate if you make up words as you go along.

Without due scientific process to back up TDD we are left with such arguments having equal validity as TDD. Without a scientific proof of TDD being superior then we are left with m…
