    Oh cool, thanks for that.

    You’re right. Going back to my physics example, all the variables in a physics problem are actually of the same type, float. So you’d need more specific types, but that would be in…

    This makes me wonder: what if there was a language where variable names are determined according to the type, with the option of overriding with a custom name. So a variable of typ…

    Don’t do anything in extremes, including not doing anything in extremes.

    That makes a lot of sense, thank you so much for the advice.

    As a graduating senior in CS who is super interested in working in BCI, may I ask how you got into the field? I would love to work somewhere like Neuralink but it seems that most o…

    These laws exist. You’re not allowed to discriminate based on criminal or arrest record unless it’s relevant to the job (e.g. someone applying to be a delivery driver with 3 DUIs).…

    You’re blatantly misquoting the person you’re replying to.

    Really? Seems like it’d be more reliable and a lot faster to just hop in one of the hundred rickshaws on every street. Besides the fact that they’ll overcharge you if you’re a tour…

    Not the OP, but as I’d say that subjectively speaking, you’re better off going to MIT, but only if you have the passion and drive to succeed at a place like that (which you probabl…

    Every reply to you is repeating the same thing and they’re all wrong. Woe on the next great sociologist, philosopher, or artist who gets discouraged from study because “just do CS …

    It’s built off of Stopify[1], which compiles “from JS to JS” and runs on the client side. [1] https://www.stopify.org/

    My school’s JS IDE [1](“JavaScript without the bad parts”) has a history feature that is just a scrolling list of thumbnails of the code at every change. The IDE doesn’t have many …

    Solar panels and GPUs use rare metals of which there are a finite quantity, and are also mined through the use of slave labor in some parts of the world.

    They’re not really making a point that needs evidence. If you have no idea what Ethereum is, it’s not unreasonable to suggest that you take a quick look at their website before par…

    I don’t think those first two examples should be done either. In many countries in central and Northern Europe, it’s common journalistic practice not to print the names of those ac…

    With online learning, basically all of my exams are like this. I’ve heard of some people having proctored online exams, but luckily my school’s Math and CS departments seem to have…

    Hey, I just want to apologize for my reply here [1]. Looking back I realize it was rude and simply incorrect, and I regret sending it. Sorry to intrude on this unrelated thread but…

    Is it clear that Amazon delivery is worse for emissions? Isn't it better to have one truck deliver everyone's goods, versus each person individually driving to the store (which als…
