Why people are so stupid? No one would say that "Russians" wrote this or that shitpost. What they did - they developed and successfully used "innovative" techniques of producing and spreading catchy memes along with tro

wouldn't symbolic links be more appropriate?

It does. It emphasizes that this particular guide encourages use of Python3, instead of holding onto legacy, which means that the author understands programming languages basics or at lest knows which semantic unification has been done to m

Brexit, Trump, 86% popularity of Putin, mass media, TV shows, Javascript - what other evidences are needed?

To make it positive and to amplify it (as a side-effect). BTW, "error" is a misleading term - it communicates some fault, at least in the common sense. Distance would be much better term. So, "squared distance" makes muc

In theory, one should take a look at web.py and flask first.. It will teach essentialism and minimalism (web.py) and doing the right thing in a right way (all of them and Python in general).

Where on Google Maps are these vast aloe vera plantations which are required to produce these millions of liters of products? There must be hectares and hectares, visible from the outer space.

The hypothesis that natural language acquisition "restructures our memories" is promising one. We cannot recall what has been stored using a different "encoding". There are no associated labels (which is what words are)

Well, I just got tired of hipster bullshit and memes. There is the only one way to prove something - it is to show that there are logical truth of all the statements and implication all the way back to the starting assumptions. Students lea

Life is indistinguishable from physics.

Thanks! I was too enthusiastic to emphasize that the Abelson and Sussman lectures are out of the context of Physics. Nevertheless these are no less classic than Feynman's.

While this is a true 80th level hipsterism and snowflackery, it is also a beautiful case to realize that there was reasons behind choosing Common Lisp as the primary language for AI. The Common Lisp code is almost as easy to read as the pse

Feynman gave a whole lecture on this subject - the second or third lecture of the Messenger Lectures ( much better timepass than night time TV show, second only to the Wizards Lectures and the five three seasons of The X-Files). It seems t

That is what I failed to emphasize - it must be "just right" - not too much and not too little - optimal - slightly better than good-enough.)

Are they trying to say that exercises are good to us, until it is too much? What does not kill us makes us stronger.

Sure. Time is a mere environmentaly conditioned mental conception. No such phenomena exist. Only environmental and social conditioning. It could only be derived by an intelligent observer. No observer - no time. For a photon there is no tim

Already did. I have switched to be a guide for Tibet tours (Lhasa, Kailash-Manasarovar) and high altitude trekking and motorcycle tours in Nepal, Sikkim and Ladakh. Customers enjoyed my guided tours in Jokhang and Potala. Better demand and

Perhaps, this is the case when an observer affects the observation. It appears to the instrument, created according to a model, that electrons are "like grands of sand" when they should be "fields". But how could these

Yes, I am wrong here. The professor of marketing has been mentioned in the text as a collaborator in some "study". Is that "Ayurvedic Health Coach" stuff qualifies as the substitute for majoring from MIT or Yale in Psych

That's gross oversimplification for western amateur audiences. His Holiness is trying to speak the language of common western consumer. Behind our anxiety is ignorance. Period. Ignorance is described as a veil that obscures the view of

To be honest, the very first books - The Structure of Magic - are much better than later "practical" and manipulative stuff. The notions of "patching reality" - what we call today the Confirmation and Self-serving biases
