Very nice, but if you want to use it professionally you should consider having an alternative "clear text" version for recruiters and the like. The technically minded will find it nice but most people won't know what to do or

This must be the most unintuitive result of all of mathematics. Its very interesting what a seemingly simple axiom like the axiom of choice can lead to -- simple as in 'even a 9-year old can understand it', the consequences are ra

What GP is suggesting is that 'cui bono' isn't a good explanation in most cases. It's always good to ask the question of whom benefits. But using it as an explanation for anything and everything is intellectually dishone

This isn't a serious argument, you can write 'shitty code' in Java too. In fact, I've seen more 'shitty' Java than 'shitty' Go, since I've seen far more Java projects than Go projects. It's

I can also recommend Edward Frenkel's (the guest of this video) book "Love and Math" on the subject. He writes as well as he talks, the book is very approachable, not just for a mathematically literate audience, but also for

We all did mistakes when we were teenagers, its part of the process. It takes courage to admit that. Whats the lesson to be learned here? Never be honest in the public ever again?

1. Yes, due to Covid -- more or less, at least it was a convenient excuse. 2. Absolutely not -- got a far better job offer 3 months after and took it: Better pay, more interesting projects, hands-on experience with big clients. 3. No, being

This is definitly my favourite map app. The offline features are amazing and it has a great UI and operability. Routing for bicycles could be better, I ended up in the middle of the forest without clear path the other day, but this is more

I thought about this for a while now and I think for the class of problems GP is referring to, no maintenance will actually be needed, the tools will just be discarded re-written again -- at least in one-man projects where no other person t

Yes and if you'd continued to read the article, you would have noticed that this situation is used as an example about the problematic aspects of sexuality in our society -- its a segue to an argument, not the argument itself. > You

True, but I really don't think the article in question is that divisive or out of touch with reality. Its a simple book review, with a balanced approach to the subject

I guess some people are uncomfortable with the issues raised in the article. Alternative explanation: some users are trigger-happy and flag an article based on the headline before they have a chance to read it. ~Its un-flagged by now~, and

Just the usual political flamewar that happens here from time to time, not sure why it escalates on some threads and not on others though.

I wouldn't be so sure about that, I thought the same about XML in 2005...

You can think of it as the "static" component of a variable field. Frequencies above 0 Hz oscillate, and the 0 Hz component keeps a static value.

by maze-le 3y ago
0Hz is a constant value -- 0Hz means the electromagnetic field does not oscillate. The lowest frequency concievable would be something like ~2.2978 10E−18 Hz -- one period every 13.8 billion years. [0]: https://en.wikipedia.org&#

Yeah, we consume objects and fork children without even thinking about how that might sound to a non-programmer.

New ideas, concepts or styles often come up by remixing old ones -- I wouldn't dismiss it entirely. True, ChatGPT does not have a context or world-model to generate these ideas, and in most cases they will be utter nonsense. But in som

But there is something like reputation. Once you have a reputation for being a place with a toxic HR/hiring culture its hard to get rid of that. Finding good people is hard in our profession, and most people have plenty of other option

Not really, c^2 has the unit of velocity squared, not acceleration: [c^2] = [(v^2/t^2)] != [(v/t^2)] = [a] We can also choose natural units where c==1, which leads directly to e==m

I have just asked it the following: Suppose we have the set of all n x n Matrices denoted as M(n,n). Further we define the operation ・ as Matrix multiplication. Is G=(M(n,n),・) a group? It incorrectly stated that G is a group and has given

The main difference to optical illusions is that we are aware of them and integrate this knowledge into our model of the world, so that we can deal with them to a certain extend.
