Oh I thought the subject is about the modal verbs

Somehow I have an impression that I tried something and could not repeat it in SML/NJ. I can recall it was about streams and lazy evaluations, but now I think that I just misused L…

Oh yes, and I can remember the episode when he jumped while explaining some idea in order to make this moment unforgettable. Shame on me, I forgot what idea it was but still rememb…

Few years ago I took a course by prof. Dan Grossman on Coursera, there was a part about SML and I so liked it (the language and the course). Now I want to read Okasaki's "Purely Fu…

Is it a place from this episode of the 'Terminator 2' movie? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwMMpmaQPPA

What if a tip amound exceeds a worker's payment amount? Will they demand from the worker to pay?

I used DB2 hosted on AS/400 at my previous job 4 years ago. I'm sure it is still in use. (the application is quite important for that company)

Also 'grad' means 'a town' in Russian (example: Leningrad). So I can read it either Neverton or Nikograd.

How is it going? FOr advent 2018 I use scheme but after 4 stars I think that kdb+/q actually quite suitable for such kind of tasks (at least so far). I'm not very good at it but no…

I consider freelance as a side project (miserable, I know) and I'm able to devote ~15 hours per week to it. Plus I take several hours for English, coursera and functional programmi…

As far as I understood the article, there is a possibility that our brain can choose one of experiment's outcome. So basically we do not change the outcome, but select one of possi…

So we have several facts: - your attention can change an particle's experiment outcome (you choose future) - we see quantum effects on tiny particles only - perhaps gravity makes q…

I understand your point of view. Of course I simplifed his reasons too much. But still, I have strong impression that he was too 'romantic' and passionate to be a winner who would …

Sounds quite cynical considering hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians who have died because of Napoleon's ambitions.

Also I hope couple of the oldest european historians can remember that little country on the East, I forgot its name...

I completely agree it is ok to hear strange jokes and not to be offensive. But to hear 'if you can not handle a Monty Python reference maybe you shouldn't contribute' is too much f…

Can you imagine that there are people who did not watch Monty Python at all? I know it is not always easy for a western person to accept a fact that there are different cultures ar…

Do not forget about Upwork taxes: Specifically, Upwork charges the freelancer a fee of: 20% for the first $500 billed with the client. 10% for lifetime billings with the client bet…

It is risky to dump a client since the client can easily spoil your rating on Upwork.

As far as I understand, 'project_commits' and 'commits' have one-by-one relationship (project_commits.commit_id = commits.id). From my point of view it is a strange design since th…

I've written a jupiter notebook kernel for Guile Scheme https://github.com/jerry40/guile-kernel , I wonder if it is possible to set up a dedicated server using Jupyterhub and made …

But the words order is unambiguous (for me at least). I need to read about this topic more closely though.

I'm still not sure. I discussed this topic with my English teacher (he's from the UK) yesterday and he does not like how this phrase looks either.
