It would be more constructive, if you defined “anticipate”. Your dismissal really needs that to be taken seriously.

Simple proofs are often only possible, because the language of mathematics become increasingly descriptive over time. The language conveniently helps us make incredibly complicated statements by using specialized terms. Simple solution are

Why? I’m Danish, and homeschooling is imcredibly rare in Denmark, and I frankly can’t see the appeal. What is it that makes it so compelling?

The thing about bugs is their subtle influence on overall product quality. It's like building a wall; if one layer of bricks is laid unevenly, at least a number of layers built on top of it will have to compensate. Usually, this compen

Also the fact that WotC has promised over and over that these cards would never get reprints, not even non-tournament legal reprints.

I couldn’t have said it better myself. With three kids, my current side project is my day job , at least if measuring by workload. Taking on more work, voluntarily or not, will be at a significant personal cost for me. I don’t get the cons

Governments can also violate all your other rights as well. But this completely irrelevant to the post I responded to.

I did not imply that it was.

Governments could easily use private data to blackmail or silence you, even if you’ve done nothing illegal. This is perhaps the primary reason that the right of privacy even exists.

The “only valid use cases” of privacy is not to hide illegal or criminal activity. Crypto currency is a wasteful, destructive, expensive and innefficient technology that has few benefits except facilitating crimes like tax evasion, money

I don’t get why you got downvoted. A common piece of advice for building habits is to set trivial goals and to let them snowball.

Bureaucracy is foremost a tool for control, and the cost is time, friction and/or autonomy. Sometimes this control is great, as it can streamline processes, which can make employee training and automation cheaper. The problem is that t

I would be much more disconcerted if we were super special. I want to “just” be a semi-random byproduct of the natural laws and processes. I’m completely fine with that. On the contrary, I think it is sad that such a reality terrifies p

I don’t think that’s an interesting question at all and misses the point completely. We have no idea, what causes the sensation of subjective experience. Assuming that sentience is no more complex than our current level of understanding is

I don’t find it terrifying in the slightest. I find it naive. Our understanding of the world reflects our modelling of the world. Empirical science models the world in terms of probabilities, and this, by necessity , makes everything look

I would guess that it is a convention used to highlight a code dependency. “If you remove or rename this class, the code will break.”

Can confirm. IME, software that does less usually end up achieving more.

Haskell has “otherwise” as a built in constant that equals true. It reads better in some cases. f n | odd n = 3 * n + 1 | otherwise = n \\ 2

Agile is (maybe a bit oversimplified) about releasing as often often as possible. Delivering sooner, not faster. To do this, decision makers must be close to the team, and ideally a part of the team. Either managers are part of the team,

It also interprets and coerces values in formulas. Empty cells are interpreted as zero, which can be downright catastrophic, if the data is just missing.

I really enjoy writing parsers. It’s just really fun, though as the article suggests, error detection and comprehension is hard and tedious.
