This is childish thinking. Whatever we do, we cannot go back to "before". Which "before"? How do we go back? You can't regress back to a being a kid just because the problems you face as an adult are too much to h

I like how the product image is um... well-used.

I remember solving this problem before. These are both global components, so you create a single global instance and control them with a global context or function. You basically have a global part of the component and a local part. The glo

Since the original point of this chain was a comparison between the energy efficiency of biological vs machine learning, then we need to be trying to understand if the machine is more efficient than the human. You don't need to make so

We're efficient once we have the energy, sure. How much energy does it take to go from raw sunlight to a calorie your body is actually able to use, and finally to your dinner table?

I hate writing by hand the same way I hate walking through deep sand. It's extra effort for the same distance and I'm mentally way ahead of where I am physically.

#2 I expect to wind up as a huge win professionally as well. It lowers the investment for creating an MVP or experimental/exploratory project from weeks to hours or days. That ability to try things that might have been judged too ris

Public API refers to the user of the class, not the implementer. You never call __init__ directly. __new__ allows modifying object creation itself for the implementer, but the user of the class will never call it.

I find it strange to see this sentiment... how far down the stack do you go before it stops being "configuration" to you? Let's imagine building a video chat: Are you going to build an OS from scratch? Network protocols? Encr

That's what I was kind of thinking, but Apollo is also in the same graph. Seems a bit odd to me.

Am I missing something about graphql being in the same metric as redux? They're not remotely in the same domain, are they?

Hierarchies are possible with an RDBMS, but I'd suggest it's the wrong tool to model them with, unless they're static of course. Really any graph that can't be encoded in the table relationships themselves.

This sounds like a graph problem similar to the google unit conversion problem ( https://alexgolec.dev/ratio-finder/ ). You could probably do a data driven solution, but the gist is convert to and from one normalized for

Concrete makes you walk faster, no?

I don't know what the solution is, but I do know that the current system is set up to enforce the will of the minority and ignore the majority.

How can you vote with your wallet against a monopoly? Just go without? That's not a choice, it's coercion.

I've been using rust for a few weeks and I'm finding it fairly pleasant overall, but I agree on the syntax issues. I've hit some snags (in particular, graphs, but this is a common snag on constrained languages, Haskell has tr

Clifford algebra is exactly how I figured it out as well. Here's the clearest explanation I can make: Things have a "sided-ness" to them. In most mathematics, the definition of a plane ignores this sided-ness. Three points an

I'm starting to look at it from a different perspective. I don't necessarily think bad is actually bad, or a better way to put it, there's no such thing as "good" code. What I usually find people calling bad code is

Pure functional programming has this property by its nature. Anything immutable cannot be changed during another threads execution.

I agree for your personal computer. I've been using it on my PC for several months, and it was definitely a mistake. Most things work fine, but there are enough problems that it is extremely noticeable. Whether it's the mess tha

That's backwards. College is expensive because demand is extremely high. Subsidies increase that demand by making college affordable for most, but the suggestion that the subsidies themselves are the problem is plain wrong. We wanted a

If real data is signal, then fake data is noise.

by trylist 10y ago
That won't work because you'll be adding noise to your own data. You'll have trouble searching through your own data-sets for "real" stuff. If you do something to designate what's real, you're just back to

Hmm, any American would immediately understand that "situation" meant "problem" in this context. To Americans, that is direct. It's not a fluff word avoiding saying "problem", it means "problem&quot
