But a synchronous function can and many do make network calls or write to files. It is a rather vague signal about the functions behavior as opposed to the lack of the IO monad in …

This is function overloading, you can do the same thing in C++. In Python you type this using the overload decorator from the typing module.

Would you care to elaborate which device it is? 12 years old means it at the most could have come with Honeycomb when you bought it. Has the base OS been updated since? It is great…

It is not a matter of the age of your hardware but your software. Ipad mini 4 got its latest OS update in 2023. The problem is that in the Android ecosystem it is unfortunately com…

But usually these other devices can also update their software , it is quite unique for the android operating system to run old and unupdatable software. Or they should if they are…

But would you version it by storing it as output in an ipnyb file where it is overwritten if you rerun that cell? I would store the data in a versioned database or as separate data…

If for some reason you really wanted to compute Fib(n) for ridiculously large numbers of n, you would probably use that [Fib(n), Fib(n-1)] = A [Fib(n-1), Fib(n-2)] for the transiti…

When I was a kid and trying to learn LaTeX this happened to me all the time on the library computers. I do not think I have a point, you just made me remember some fun and dreadful…

I think your point is valid and important, especially considering the average user. However in my experience it worked surprisingly well with a long word based master password. Sin…

I am not a cryptographer but to my understanding, the number of PBKDF iterations is really only of concern for weak (low-entropy) passwords. If you know that your password has high…

If I recall correctly it is the standard libraries(such as libstdc++) that need this exception and not the compiler itself.

That is good news, thank you! And I apologize for spreading incorrect information.

Interestingly the FSF also requires copyright assignment for contributions to GCC, Emacs and some other GNU software.

I had the same thought about the 200% thing. Actually I think it is either empty boasting or a difference of terminology. I understand giving 100% to mean: I give as much as I poss…

My understanding is that under current EU market abuse regulations trading on inside information* that you overheard on the train is still insider trading. Sharing inside informati…

No GP is arguing that since the blockchain cannot solve any of the mentioned problems, it does not provide any real benefit. The dispute for companies today are seldomly about whet…

Assuming you are allowed to transfer into the base layer. Most currencies and finance have a similar decentralized base layer: Cash. However in many jurisdictions your ability to t…

It does not make everybodys lives easier, it makes your life easier by easing the support burden at the cost of making the lives of those who have to live with those policies (marg…

If you come from a pure math theory first background I would advise starting out with Björks “Arbitrage theory in continuous time”, I personally found the lack of rigor and superfl…

I am sorry but I cannot parse your first paragraph, so I do not understand your point. Thus I have written a general reply to your link. I do not read any clear recommendation for …

For those who find the existence of such analytic functions intuitively "wrong", note that it is essential to this example that though the second derivative is positive, it is posi…
