    Very nice, but if you want to use it professionally you should consider having an alternative "clear text" version for recruiters and the like. The technically minded will find it …

    This must be the most unintuitive result of all of mathematics. Its very interesting what a seemingly simple axiom like the axiom of choice can lead to -- simple as in 'even a 9-ye…

    What GP is suggesting is that 'cui bono' isn't a good explanation in most cases. It's always good to ask the question of whom benefits. But using it as an explanation for anything …

    This isn't a serious argument, you can write 'shitty code' in Java too. In fact, I've seen more 'shitty' Java than 'shitty' Go, since I've seen far more Java projects than Go proje…

    I can also recommend Edward Frenkel's (the guest of this video) book "Love and Math" on the subject. He writes as well as he talks, the book is very approachable, not just for a ma…

    We all did mistakes when we were teenagers, its part of the process. It takes courage to admit that. Whats the lesson to be learned here? Never be honest in the public ever again?

    1. Yes, due to Covid -- more or less, at least it was a convenient excuse. 2. Absolutely not -- got a far better job offer 3 months after and took it: Better pay, more interesting …

    This is definitly my favourite map app. The offline features are amazing and it has a great UI and operability. Routing for bicycles could be better, I ended up in the middle of th…

    I thought about this for a while now and I think for the class of problems GP is referring to, no maintenance will actually be needed, the tools will just be discarded re-written a…

    Yes and if you'd continued to read the article, you would have noticed that this situation is used as an example about the problematic aspects of sexuality in our society -- its a …

    True, but I really don't think the article in question is that divisive or out of touch with reality. Its a simple book review, with a balanced approach to the subject

    I guess some people are uncomfortable with the issues raised in the article. Alternative explanation: some users are trigger-happy and flag an article based on the headline before …

    Just the usual political flamewar that happens here from time to time, not sure why it escalates on some threads and not on others though.

    You can think of it as the "static" component of a variable field. Frequencies above 0 Hz oscillate, and the 0 Hz component keeps a static value.

    Comment #35465766

    0Hz is a constant value -- 0Hz means the electromagnetic field does not oscillate. The lowest frequency concievable would be something like ~2.2978 10E−18 Hz -- one period every 13…

    Yeah, we consume objects and fork children without even thinking about how that might sound to a non-programmer.
