Could you please tell me what exactly is "uncivil" in my comment? Oh and by he way, I could not care less about some stupid "ban". First, it's not like I need anything from you or this site, second, I don't thi

It is the head of a private equity backed business. That he also happens to be a dermatologist is not the key - unless you think he would have complained if he were only a dermatologist and not a big-business owner? From the NY article: &

How much time you spend depends on your data structures. If the easy default options are good enough you don't need to sweat. We make heavy use of disjoint unions, and while the simple case here too is easy, some things that we do - al

Same here. I have been using Flow (mostly) and TS (occasionally, including counter-checking problems in Flow to see what TS does in a similar case). Overall I would not go back to the time without a type checker, however, I too am mystified

Quoting a self-proclaimed mission statement as "proof" of anything, really? And no, you did not think this through, or you are just grossly uninformed. Example: https://youtu.be/ZTC_RxWN_xo Private business only

You actually make his point stronger: Given the difficulty, there are far too few people in it. Instead, people flock to the easy stuff. That's because who pays you if you don't get results within a few years at most? Which is har

That is an insane price. Here in Germany I last paid 70 Euros on top of what insurance pays for (which is the very basics - and yes, they pay for amalgam fillings) for a composite fillings. Which one exactly I don't know but it was wha

But whether or not the incoming signals ever lead to a new action potential depends on so many factors (spacial, temporal, chemical, biological,... and it's all dynamic on many levels) that can all be called "analog" and are

Wouldn't one use two-photon microscopy? Patch clamp is quite limited in comparison. There also is the combination of both methods - not surprisingly, they write how hard it is in a living brain (the clamping, the two-photon microscopy

You are not saying anything that I did not already respond to. I know trees, I know priority queues, I completely understand the data structure. What's the point of being able to assign some completely made-up and arbitrary name to it?
