    I doubt they (still) have such capabilities.

    As always, a good start would be to provide exceptional evidence for each of your exceptional claims, instead of casually stating them as facts.

    Some criticism from the scientific community: * Not peer-reviewed * Not published in a journal (but self-published on a personal website) * Questionable filtering excludes high-qua…

    Semantic analysis is a broader term that (for languages with a type checker) includes type checking. https://cs.lmu.edu/~ray/notes/semanticanalysis/

    It uses heuristics to derive semantic information from the parse tree without doing a full semantic analysis.

    What's "dumb" about Anycode is its semantic features such as "go to definition", code completion, etc., not its syntax highlighting. Alas, Anycode is a separate project.

    If you're concerned about the long term effects of the vaccine, you should be double concerned about the long term effects of the much more complex and much less understood virus.

    Many vaccines require three shots. A key difference is that the timespan between second and third (booster) shot is much longer than that between first and second shot.

    You'll pay a hefty fine if you don't get vaccinated (and that fine will eventually be enforced).

    People betting on Ivermectin instead of vaccines, masking, social distancing, and proven treatments is extremely dangerous.

    None of them are official, and I bet they make major simplifications (the one you just linked to is for Java 1.4). I doubt actual language/tooling implementors benefit much from th…

    > but for example Java has a formal semantics. I don't think that's really true. The Java language specification is entirely prose. The book you linked to was written by "outsider"…

    I own both a MBP (2019) and an Asus Zephyrus G14 (2020). While the latter is good value for the money (I use it for gaming), chassis, screen, sound, touchpad, fingerprint sensor, a…

    You are comparing a high-end MacBook to a mid-range Asus. Build quality costs money.

    Right. It would be more accurate to say that he is using an unproven treatment and is putting himself and others at risk by not getting vaccinated.

    The insanity is to be more afraid of unknown risks of vaccination than known risks of infection and the risk of relying on unproven treatments that are harmful or ineffective.

    Keeping an open mind that an unproven (for Covid) drug might eventually be proven effective is one thing; relying on an unproven drug or spreading unproven claims is another.

    It's called "horse medicine" when people take Ivermectin tablets intended/dosed for horses.

    It was running on specialized hardware in the cloud. But Stockfish and Lc0 have long since surpassed Alpha Zero.
