Just a side-note: the attitude expressed in the Russian version of the website is nowhere that mild and neutral as in the English one. I personally do find it not only alarming, but disgusting to the very least (esp. the "torrent-track

No, it should not. Why it is unusual? Happens to me from time to time (not exactly three dozens, though, 20-25 attempts).

There are two points in that paragraph: - enumerable (countable) sets are more intuitive to reason about - no matter, how do you comprehend the function, you'll end up drawing it by means of composing continuous chunks > Are you co

Actually, only tree is real. "Forest" is a mental construction - just region of space with the density of trees being high enough . Play with that "high enough" variable, and a meaning of "forest" will drift.

Thanks! Seems like I'd been getting it right since the beginning, so I've missed the point.

I really didn't get the article. I mean, I've got that we have some mapping f: R -> R, or equivalently f: (x, y) \in RxR, so we could represent it by drawing on 2d plane, but no further... Author claimed, that he had been missi

Well, I feel exactly the opposite. Although, I had no chance to write gtk theming engines due to lack of neccessity, I would argue that most of the time clear good ol' imperative chunk of simple and straightforward C is far better than
