The article is hard to follow for me, but if I understood it correctly, this is not true: > That is just not going to happen in (classical) reality, though. Because once you properly set the initial state of the ball (force=velocity=0, o

There's a common way people from scientific communities (such as HN) look at the world - there's a "real world" out there, and in order to improve our understanding of things we should approximate (discover the rules tha

If I remember correctly, when you learn a new language after age 10, the brain encodes the new language in a region adjacent to the one where your mother language is encoded, which means that any localized injury on this part of the brain m

Yes, there is JSDoc[1] which allows you to add type annotations in comments, that can then be used by some tool. The VSCode editor is able to leverage the TypeScript engine even with vanilla JS to automatically infer types and also supports

The graphs about languages seem very weird. Let's take a look at the "Which languages do developers prefer by age?": Python: 84.6% C: 54.0% C++: 48.2% Java: 48.2% JavaScript: 47.6% ... Ruby: 21.0% Why is Python so far ahead o

Notice that your first and last example are somewhat simple to explain conceptually, so they should also be simple to build by composing the right building blocks: "Play" gives away the fact you're looking for a song or list
