I am not hand waving it. This line was commented ad nauseam when the book was released and is the one people who have no idea of neither what in the Greek text nor what’s in the translation like to discuss. As it’s far from being the most q

The complaint - which I definetely share by the way - is that for all the critical acclaim it got, Emily Wilson's translation strays so far from the actual text, it is not really a translation anymore and is actually closer to being a

At this point, the EU has the worst of both a free market based economy and a planned one. Profits goes to corporate owners when they exist and losses are taken up by the general public through subsidies. It's very comfy for our corpor

I am not sure myself. The past two decades have shown that banking is a sector which needs to be tightly regulated and bankers can never be trusted to not do utterly stupid things if there is even the slighest hint of profits. Honestly, I w

It's even easier to not do the study if you are going to use bogus data anyway.

Unsurprisingly, highly regulated sectors like banking where entering is extremely hard display cartel like behaviors. There is no incentive coming from the competition so why would anyone lower the net interest margin. In this context, I th

There is little point of doing a study based on BMI when what you want is body fat. BMI is imperfect. It’s fine when you want to give people a quick metric for them to assess their fitness by themselves. People who are extremely fit with a

Given the delay to get cars right now, I'm guessing Europe has significantly less "bog-standard" fabs that you think it does.

R&D is a significant part of what you have to amortise. I'm guessing they are going to pay the machinery significantly less than if it was brand new. Part of it might even be relocated from another fab. Yields should also be better

Anyone has a link to some communication from the university of Maryland which is not written by a teenager? They must be one if they spent time trying to reproduce the material.

It can generate elegant and efficient parsers for LR(1) grammars. > I tend to prefer hand written parsers, either via a combinator library or fully manually. That’s common with people used to languages which provide poor parser generator

I will take any of the dozen of sometimes very large compilers written in Ocaml above rustc personally but to each their own.

It is definitely very legible here and at least as legible as the Rust equivalent. It’s actually a lot more legible than the Rust equivalent here to be fair. The Ocaml program is mostly matching followed by a chain of operations. It’s far r

by brmgb 3y ago
Personally, it’s not so much that I disagree. It’s more that Ocaml has a top notch ecosystem for compiler writing. That’s probably by far its strongest point with library like Menhir having few equivalent in different ecosystem. Not that th

I think it’s your inexperience talking here as programs in both languages here use mostly the same naming conventions and abbreviations, the main difference being that Ocaml is its usual terse and to the point while Rust is well far less te

China knows that and doesn’t want to annexe Taiwan through violence. They would much prefer Taiwan to join with minimum damage. That’s always been their play book. It is flexing right now because one, there might be a window of opportunity

That doesn't make sense here. Mainland China and Taiwan economies are already extremely integrated and most of the richest Taiwanese are actually fairly close to the CCP. That's my grip with the coverage of the situation in the US
