Its a problem that's trivial if you are allowed to allocate an array/list that's the same size as the input but tricky if you have to do the operation in place (unless you already …

IMO geometry nodes are a bit lacking atm. No loops, no procedural uv unwrapping, no compact maths expressions, bare bones standard node selection in general etc. It feels like they…

Thanks for the second link. Years ago I emailed Erik Ravn about getting copies of some hard to find Wuthering Heights albums. He mentioned that he was working on remasters after he…

To the best of my understanding, this is an accurate summation of events. With the MAX it isn't possible to have electric trim without MCAS, so if MCAS is malfunctioning pilots hav…

Winter's Gate is brilliant. I've found previous Insomnium albums to be a bit pedestrian (albeit very competent vanilla melodeath). With Winter's Gate Insomnium introduced some prog…

I'm really looking forward to VS2017 update 1. I've been following the activity in the visualfsharp github repo and some of the new Roslyn based tooling looks fantastic (albeit wit…

I suspect you have been downvoted because some people may perceive your answer as a glib trivialization of a debilitating condition ('just pop a few probiotics and everything will …

I would suggest 'Visions of Johanna'. At the other end of spectrum is 'Changing of the Guards' in which Bob Dylan seems to be intentionally parodying his own songwriting (still an …

The Mono runtime Unity uses is, I think, a fork of Mono 2.8. The tailcall op wasn't implemented in Mono until 2.10 (again, I think). The tailcall op is essentially ignored by Unity…

Currently you can't target iOS, Windows store & WebGL with F#. For these platforms Unity uses an IL to C++ transpiler which doesn't work with F#. This might change in the future (o…

I've yet to hear any reasonable defense of this often repeated assertion (UK 'special treatment'). The UK net contribution per capita is similar to other comparable EU countries (t…

I find it a little bit sad that the only thing most people know about Quine is source code outputting programs. Quine was probably the most influential post war analytical philosop…

Thanks for the clarification and great project! It will be interesting to see how things change when you get the official lineups. As I'm sure you are aware, teams often rest their…

The Wales starting lineup is missing Gareth Bale (arguably in the top 5 best players in the world). His 'kickscore' is listed as higher than any of the welsh players so I don't und…

Consuming C# code from F# works fine. Consuming F# code from C# works pretty well for the most part, although F# specific types are cumbersome to use (records, discriminated unions…
