it's experimenting with a feature that was added to Haskell but just never caught on. it's theoretically very powerful but it's far enough from idiomatic Haskell that it sees basic…

there is actually something rather special about the questions mathematicians focus on but the jargon and technical detail get in the way. ultimately, the reason prime numbers are …

I've found the opposite. every time I attempt to subvert the borrow checker, I eventually discover that I'm attempting to write a bug.

most of the optimizations discussed are actually kind of obvious if you know how chess notation works in the first place. like the reason the starting move "Nf3" makes any sense is…

you've misunderstood my point -- I'm saying manufacturer claims need to be verified. 10x doesn't mean all that much to begin with and, moreover, fan static pressure claims from man…

he was extremely insightful and developed new math so effortlessly. if he'd survived, a lot of math would have advanced more quickly than it did.

it also doesn't help that the fix for the increased difficulty in implementing AsyncIterator for devs (assuming the approach advocated for in the OP winds up being the one selected…

such claims without tests to validate are kind of useless. they're just taking the company at their word.

I mean, lots of animals use tools, including chimps. those tools aren't nearly as sophisticated, so it depends on how you define tool use, but the point still stands. this is all b…

thanks, I appreciate this

> "We haven't yet found a specific neural structure for recognizing faces" is far from evidence that no such structure exists. proving a negative is, famously, quite hard. an unsol…

except no such neural structure has ever been found. humans have been using tools for longer than we've been human -- without solid evidence that this tool is interpreted as a soci…

metaphors, you see, are always literal

this was exactly what the free software advocates have been saying would happen (has happened) without protections to make sure modifications got contributed back to free software …

this worked for me for a while but in the last year, I've started getting episodes even though I've taught myself to sleep on my side, breathe through my mouth, keep my airway open…

from what I've read, they're a standard practice in traditional finance/risk management circles? it's what makes the whole situation with SVB so much more mind-bending. this isn't …

the bank was already experiencing a slow run as startup funding dried up. SVB got hit by interest rates twice - once because the value of their assets fell and a second time becaus…

you're aware that barrels of oil are sold in USD and this status is what maintains the American position as the world's reserve currency, right? you're also aware of the wars, coup…

a lot of the African nations moving closer to China come to mind

those have very low limits - 10k per tax identifier

in CA, unpaid wages pierce the corporate veil and damages are owed. so there will definitely be lawsuits, including class action.
