The article seems to me just a regular criticism, not her saying she could do better? Counterpoint to your view on critics. A discerning audience is equally as important to a thriving culture as artists. If critics just clap their hands whe

Where did anyone say a global ban or even national? I personally do not see it as "an incredible economic opportunity," I see it as a massive gamble that won't bear fruit, but that's beside the point. If localities want

"totalitarian" for a democratically elected representative government to ban something? How? If other counties or states want them fine, godspeed, take them. We'll be just fine without them. - Lifetime resident of what might

I'd say Farsi is too. I'm finding it easier than Spanish much to my surprise.

"people, universally, want the best product available" Maybe I'm not a person, but I almost always pick one of the cheaper if not cheapest option. Rarely, if ever, do I care enough to get the best of anything...

No, this guy (the writer of the article) has no idea what he’s talking about. I say this as someone isn’t even on the left. He sets a false dichotomy to protect himself from criticism. Zoning/building codes being too strict and monopol

RStudio is still a web app. It's GWT with QtWebEngine whereas this is Electron. Not too different.

You should read a bit more beyond Wikipedia. It’s a far, far more complicated and interesting story than you’re portraying it to be. The Catholic Church actually initially funded Copernicus and was interested in his findings, but this was t

He/she isn't used to it. Any R, Elixir, or F# developer would be right at home with this syntax.

Any chance you remember the name of the SQLite course?

Why? The first 4 government functions he dismantled or took over are CFPB, NLRB, USAID, and Treasury. Weakening, removing, or taking control of any/all of those directly benefit him. Either way, it doesn't matter what his motives

Pretty much everything you said here doesn't align with history. And if anything, Catholics are more inclined to agree that the Bible is a product of human writing and translation because they don't agree with the Protestant doctr

It’s an entire book length of material, but in short, for built up areas drivers are forced through street to design to be higher alert to their surroundings. EX: chicanes in the road, speed tables, brick roads, narrow streets, small/t

Agreed. But I don’t think economics is off the hook here either. To me it’s the social science that best masquerades as a “hard” science while still make huge jumps in logic that are rarely justified in the papers I’ve read.

DC might not be the best comparison here as far as American cities go. I - and most people I know - walk around the city year round and I live on the top of a pretty steep hill.

I haven't found this to be true at all. In fact, I'd say the majority of studies I read - even from prestigious journals - is fraught with bad statistics. I have no idea how some of these studies were even allowed to be published.

I can attest that the frequentist view is still very much the mainstream here too and fills almost every college curriculum across the United States. You may get one or two Bayesian classes if you're a stats major, but generally it&#x2

Keynote is awesome. Last I checked a few years ago though Numbers was nowhere even close to Excel. No dynamic array formulas, Power Query, lambda functions, VBA, etc. All are pretty essential if you're doing anything beyond basic spre

Except that's not what I'm saying and it does in fact matter what's under the hood if you're looking for a scientific, causal explanation of organic intelligence. I know that AIs are useful, and that they can be logicall

I believe you, and LLMs are no doubt useful, but "under the hood" it's still just predicting what the next token should be based on the provided context. I take it he's saying that no, there isn't really a ghost in

If you're genuinely interested in this below are a couple things you could read to help get some background. Its actually a pretty fascinating history. Judging by your phrasing, your interpretation of antitrust stems from Robert Bork a

Dependency Injection Principles, Practices, and Patterns by Mark Seemann. Examples are in C# but it's a great book about OOP in general.

F# has something called Fable. It originally just compiled down to JavaScript. Recently they've added Python and Dart.

The whole high rise situation in almost every U.S. city you described (i.e. small central cluster of high-rises) is more a result of insane zoning policies, not traffic safety. High density and peace and quiet really aren’t mutually exclusi

So many, I like reading how other people write code. R - sf package is a clean example of functional OOP Python - pytudes (Peter Norvig’s notebooks) Haskell - Elm compiler. I could mostly understand what’s going on even though I barely know

Oh definitely agree on both parts. And yeah that's what I meant by the last point. I couldn't care less about politics or the federal government, the outer neighborhoods are where the "real" DC is at in my opinion.

I've lived in the area my entire life, and DC proper for around the past 7 years. I love living here and am without question biased but I'll do my best to give you some objective advice. - As others have said, it's a very tra
