Thanks jerf for your thoughtful reply. tbh I was trolling hn for the very first time in 14 years and based on the response I have a natural talent for it. Who knew. The multi-core …

The brief blurb about how GIL came to be, in light of Python’s success as a language and a tool, makes me question my s/e belief system. Things like this are like when good things …

Interesting how the nth term index for n-Sonos non-integral is itself monotonic. Intuitively it seems it doesn’t have to be. (Handwavy looking at the n-S() behavior as hitting a ‘c…

who are these “most people”? Everyone in Iran, including the Shah, wanted Iran’s oil nationalized. It was the economic consequences that tempered others. The Good Dr. had to go hat…

Your story about operation Ajax is just that - a story. Iran’s PMs were all elected by parliament and the one before Mr. Mossadeq was assassinated by Islamists allied to your “demo…

They are denied education, freedom of movement, and freedom of conscious. It is not slavery, as you are correct to point out - it is a regressive reading of Islam and its insistenc…

Rigor is not the only variable, agreed. The issue (again) is that the other variables are many and they are non-linear in the main. (For example, the variable of ‘competence of dev…

No, the point does not remain that “research” “shows” anything. Seems there is agreement that ‘meaningful experiments have never been done because it is too complex and expensive’ …

[This is just data - I’m sure it was “abnormally hot” in many places, but NYC was not one of those places. Believe it or not, 2000 and 1960 were just randomly picked out of a hat a…

Last week of September in NYC was the coldest I remember this time of year. Rainy, windy and cold.

well, if this cult doesn’t work out for you there is always reddit.com with less “limitations” ..

OP’s author is a prof. of religious studies and has a book on Hebrews so possibly his point of view requires the preeminence of Hebrew alphabet. I also found some of the reasoning …

Re your edit, if you re-read my op you should find we’re in agreement regarding the press’s standing and its causes. Numerous assumptions are embedded in your optimistic analogy of…

That is a very odd historic analog to pick but deliciously ironic in that you apparently (?) missed the bit in the OP about “few powerful” interests controlling the labeling of dat…

> To clear space for the new church, Hugh Stubbins and Bill LeMessurier (he pronounces his name “LeMeasure”) set Sure, repeat his name n times and then ‘oh, by the way, it’s pronou…

So a jumble of chair legs is “NVIDIA burger” and it did say GPU was a “bun” so it thinks the flat thing (chicken?) is some sort of bread. If GPT-4V was “aware”, it would say “it’s …

Great tip, thanks!

Pulsar is a very interesting architectural case study. The cost of the greater clarity and flexibility is the greater management burden. The server-side functions are nice (and rem…

It’s not apparent as a dilemma until the said architect has spent years -convinced- that the grand edifice is “good architecture”, and finally matured as a practitioner. Only after…

It is not odd, it is basically accurate. You are making a fetish of the S-C interaction but the essential matter is that Kafka is designed to store & distribute logs, whereas Rabbi…

There is no “trick”. It’s the language spec! That go func can take arguments. Just add the argument for clarity. The “trick” here is saving the declaration in the go func’s signatu…
