But a synchronous function can and many do make network calls or write to files. It is a rather vague signal about the functions behavior as opposed to the lack of the IO monad in Haskell. To me the difficulty is more with writing generic c

This is function overloading, you can do the same thing in C++. In Python you type this using the overload decorator from the typing module.

Would you care to elaborate which device it is? 12 years old means it at the most could have come with Honeycomb when you bought it. Has the base OS been updated since? It is great that you bought a device which presumably got OS updates fo

It is not a matter of the age of your hardware but your software. Ipad mini 4 got its latest OS update in 2023. The problem is that in the Android ecosystem it is unfortunately common to only have a short window of OS updates from the relea

But usually these other devices can also update their software , it is quite unique for the android operating system to run old and unupdatable software. Or they should if they are web facing. For security reasons at least.

But would you version it by storing it as output in an ipnyb file where it is overwritten if you rerun that cell? I would store the data in a versioned database or as separate data files in the repository (possibly stored in git-lfs). And I

If for some reason you really wanted to compute Fib(n) for ridiculously large numbers of n, you would probably use that [Fib(n), Fib(n-1)] = A [Fib(n-1), Fib(n-2)] for the transition matrix A = [[1, 1], [1, 0]] and thus [Fib(n+1), Fib(n)] =

When I was a kid and trying to learn LaTeX this happened to me all the time on the library computers. I do not think I have a point, you just made me remember some fun and dreadful moments.

I think your point is valid and important, especially considering the average user. However in my experience it worked surprisingly well with a long word based master password. Since I only needed to remember 1 password that I then used dai

I am not a cryptographer but to my understanding, the number of PBKDF iterations is really only of concern for weak (low-entropy) passwords. If you know that your password has high entropy (>128 bit), for example because you generated it

If I recall correctly it is the standard libraries(such as libstdc++) that need this exception and not the compiler itself.

I had the same thought about the 200% thing. Actually I think it is either empty boasting or a difference of terminology. I understand giving 100% to mean: I give as much as I possible can. Giving 200%(or anything above 100%) sustainably fo

But this is exactly what happens when you fine a company. Unless you fine the company enough for it to go into bankruptcy in which case the shareholders are protected by limited liability and the creditors take the hit instead. But the bank

Does it? The opening poster specifically wrote: “we need to produce less, consume less” that is not just non-geometric growth but negative growth. So in this case the opposite of live small can simply be zero growth, or further exponential

It does not make everybodys lives easier, it makes your life easier by easing the support burden at the cost of making the lives of those who have to live with those policies (marginally?) harder (or more annoying). It is quite a bold claim

If you come from a pure math theory first background I would advise starting out with Björks “Arbitrage theory in continuous time”, I personally found the lack of rigor and superfluous examples in Hull frustrating and found Björk much more

I am sorry but I cannot parse your first paragraph, so I do not understand your point. Thus I have written a general reply to your link. I do not read any clear recommendation for or against Bitcoin in the link you have given (maybe I did n

For those who find the existence of such analytic functions intuitively "wrong", note that it is essential to this example that though the second derivative is positive, it is positive and decreasing towards 0. If the second deriv

Is it really true that you can measure distance in seconds? I think light-seconds are different units from seconds hence why they measure distances, similar to how Watt-hours and Watts are not the same unit. If a second was a measure of dis
