Went to an IRC chat room when I was learning C in school. Asked if you could return a pointer to something that lives on the stack. Was talked down by an all-knowing dude telling me to go read K&R again. Proceeded to write a code sample

I have no problem working twice as much as normal. What I want is to be paid twice as much (at least).

We have macros and LISP is a building material, not a language. One line of code is just enough to get something that works (defmacro infix [a op b] `(~op ~a ~b)) There are libraries for that too. Clojure: https://github.com&

Although I have never used Julia, this is something that is possible in Ruby, and I think this feature is seriously underrated – i.e. to be able to jump quickly to the definition of external code, modify it and run it. When you work with mu

Some people get high on big frogs in Arizona. Or so said the urban legend. And then a few weeks ago Youtube suggested me a video (Joe Rogan maybe ?) where the differences between ayahuasca DMT and frog DMT were discussed. In the comments so

A few remarks on methodology in linguistics (the science). A phone is a class of sounds (as opposed to their instances which are all unique) that can be reliably described by articulatory or acoustic features (phonetics) or by patterns fo

I watched a documentary about domestication a while back. Turns out there are many "corollary features" to being domesticated: for instance, ears falling down are also to be found in domesticated fox. One of the most common featur

I don't get the reference, would you mind explaining? On a related note, I've always been baffled by Coursera founder & ML fame Andrew Ng's name. How am I supposed to pronounced it?

They built other libraries on top of this [1] [2], and when compared to mobx [3] it indeed looks very similar, however I think the target ideal of having a small core on top of which one would build more complex computation is essential. S

There is a whole field dedicated to this kind of study, namely sociolinguistics (see [1] for a short summary of the seminal experiment). Sociolinguistics study surface variations in language use that cannot be accounted by dialectology only
