The point is that the ability to extend the syntax of R leads to chaos and mess (in general) but when used correctly and effectively in the tidyverse, improves the experience of wr…

Python: easy things are easy, hard things are hard. R: easy things are hard, hard things are easy.

Those are minutes not seconds.

The reason you see a lot of scratches on Duralex glasses in cafés and canteens is because they are so old, having lasted an order of magnitude longer than other glassware.

Right, yes, exactly.

Your answer proves my point. You explained why 70kb is bad by pointing out that 3000kb isn't particularly outlandish.

This is exactly the point. There was a fifteen year period where the best way of finding out what something meant in a programming language was to Google it. Pre-AI, post the predo…

Unless you're part of the demoscene or your webpage is being loaded by Voyager II, why is 70kb of source code a problem? Not wanting to use well constructed, well tested, well dist…

Why should I change my name? He's the one that sucks.

Why would you expect fries to cost the same in California as in much poorer states (most of them)?

I mean, if 50% of the population vote for something, arguably it is middle of the road.

An easier way to evaluate sum i/10^i is by squaring sum 1/10^i If you multiply term by term every term has coefficient 1 of course. There are n terms with exponent n+1, made from t…

On an 8 digit calculator the common variant of this was 12345679 * 8 = 98765432

You might as well say that US English and Canadian English are different languages. Geordie English is closer to Edinburgh 'Scots' than to RP English or US English or Indian Englis…

Australians, Jamaicans, African Americans and English-speaking South Africans do not have their own Wikipedia, despite all these dialects having more legitimate demographic and lin…

You are of course right, thanks.

The background here is that Scots is not really a language. Try asking a Glasgow taxi driver who addresses you in 'Scots' whether he knows any English. Robert Burns wrote in Englis…

I don't think that's the case, how can you turn a bar of length two but still have it fit within the width of the bar of length three?

The default security settings only got to be the way they are after more than a decade of exploited windows xp machines breaking the whole internet.

Obviously this is not what the posting history of a state-sponsored disinformation actor looks like.
