Yeah, I wanna see shell scripts, puppet and vimrc files, C++ tricks, coding techniques, circuit teardowns, MCU hacks, and docker discussion...! (Seriously) Not WikiLeaks and censorship and vote suppression! I've been spending more time

I guess if you go through life with your eyes closed, or only listening to one side, then I can see how you'd think that. There's no place to start with someone as ignorant as you. Literally, I could list all of the ways the US le

Facts are different than opinions. When you lie you lie. If you're so distorted by Trump's daily lies, then I pity you.

The number of people in this thread defending the right to spread billionaire-funded lies, propaganda, and misinformation under the guise of free-speech is drop-dead astonishing. Like, I can see why civilization could fail on a massive scal

You asked for a "law" of equality (whatever that is) and provided an answer that proves it converges to 1. What more could you possibly want?

Hmmm... I would find this extremely error-prone. Probably due to my own issues, but flipping through multiple remote sessions in tmux in the same window would get confusing after N=2 terminals. But who manages THAT many remote sessions? See

I'm not sure if you are asking for an answer or a rhetorical question? I'll assume the former. Your terms are bit jumbled, so let's keep it simple: you're asking how to prove if an infinite sum converges and what its val

by 0xff00ffee 6y ago
Yep. Agree 100%. It is like the blue dress. I think the problem is the repeating function. Infinite things are non-intuitive and should be presented differently. Even here on HN you still see people confused about "convergence" an

You can't have a double-blind with only one side. Unfortunately the other side is unethical.

Funny, I now treat everything as a promise: all my functions are async because it keeps the interface simpler: if they don't return a promise, they are just a normal function, no harm, no foul. I see no reason to use callbacks, unless

Short answer: there isn't an easy answer. Yet. (Give QC another 50 years). Proof? Just look at all the replies you got: each one is dozens of pages of complex (imaginary) math, control theory, and statistics. The hardest part of QC is

I always skip to the async part of JS text because explaining it is a bit like handing a shotgun to a five year old. I think the folks over at risingstack have the best explanations, IMHO. I'm surprised they attempted timeouts in promi

For me the weird parts jump out in the very first definitions. I'm not used to thinking of M, C, and K as "all possible messages, ciphertexts, and keys". It never occurred to me to work from those assumptions because that&#x2

Huh. Thanks for figuring out what shows have ads! Yeah, I guess that isn't as bad as it seems if there are just a few. I didn't bother to look up what "excluded" meant.

Not true. HULU still shows ads, even with "No Ads" version. From their website: Hulu (No Ads) Get First Month Free then $11.99/month A few excluded shows play with ads. [from here https://signup.hulu.com/plans

Bringing up Perl 6? That was a low blow. ;-) I'll be dead in my grave before I recognize anything past 5.8.1. Just like how they still haven't made The Matrix 3. Sh. Quiet, you. :)

I'm not comparing functionality of Node and Python. They are different beasts. I was pointing out problems inherent with Python packaging, which you didn't even address in your fanboy rant.

I fully disagree. Open up any serious Python project and you'll find significant dependencies. Math, graphics, IO, stats, ML... anything you really want to do requires dependencies. In fact, one of my biggest issues with Python is the
