Indexing by zero has a huge positive impact on the correctness of complex operations like joining intervals, that nobody trusts themselves to write anyway and always pack behind a well-verified library.

But I think the reason we have it is because C maps it almost immediately into memory offsets.

So many questions…

Does it use some high-distance sensor fusion, it only prints things smaller than those builtin rails, or it just assumes wheels never lose traction and fails on every print?

How is the adherence of a random household floor? Does it require some kind of wax or it fails on every print?

Again, how is the adherence of a random household floor? Can objects be removed after printing? Because if you expect models to be correct on the first try, you’ll fail on every print.

I’m sure I can fix a “why?” somewhere among the questions, but the “how?” is so interesting it would only waste space.

It’s a way to provide standard configuration for your programs without one configuration interfering with another.

Honestly, almost all alternatives work better. But docker is the one you can run on any system without large changes.

I’d avoid breathing any of it in

The powder can settle on your food just like if can settle on your lungs.

I’d recommend not using the same microwave you use for food to dry died desiccant.

Ok. That is a very compelling use case. I guess over some size they become a non-brainier.

You want to minimize wight and vibration on the printing head. And everything that deals with pellets adds a great deal of both.

In theory you can manage to melt the pellets in a static machine away from the printing head. But you will get a lot of new problems getting it where you need and switching it on and off as needed.

Once upon a time, there existed a news protocol that would tell you about new things appearing, instead of waiting for you to check.

Then we got spammers.

Doesn’t wifi have its own retrial protocol? It’s been a long time since I’ve read the standard, but I think it’s almost lossless from the POV of TCP.

Depends on how you define “letter”, but they are definitively not alphabetical. They are ideographs.

I’d say that “alphabet” has no relation to the things on that string.

But yeah, it’s the Unicode Consortium that knows something about it, not Swift.

None of that is “Python”. You want to learn a language and automatically know everything there is to know using Math?

It would be much better if it stopped missing the version of the code you are working on and locking while starting multithreaded code.

People only discovered that multi-layer non-linear neural networks work at the 90s. It’s not really reasonable to equate perceptrons with the stuff people use today.

When you enter an apostrophe, and the site returns a 500 response stating you are trying to attack it. (And yeah, it’s always 500, not 400.)

is the first in the history where companies own the country

Hum… You need to learn some history.

But i still think C++ has more footguns than Prolog.

They are different kinds of footguns. The C++ ones keep security, ops, management, suppliers, customers, and the public up at night; the prolog ones keep you up at night.

Ouch.

I’ve once decided that “hey, software interaction is logic, so prolog should be the best for complex protocols and UIs!”

Quite soon I understood that no, “complex protocols and UIs” are a problem all by themselves, enabling them makes them worse, and enabling them with prolog makes them even worse.

Up to this day I’m stuck trying to make data quering more “programming-like” than the restrictive thing we have with SQL. I’ve backtracked a few times already after noticing that I just designed prolog again.

But fear not, at some point one of us will finally find that problem domain for what prolog is really suitable. I know of an entire company betting on using it for describing access control rules, maybe they are up to something!

I have been wondering that lately…

Hum… I’m not sure I wouldn’t make that same mistake.

Stuff like history, art, and how a fucking analog clock works

Well, I don’t exactly disagree… but one of those things is completely different from the others.

I would agree more if we were talking literally about “how an analog clock works” instead of the convention to reading them. But it would still be a niche knowledge that you can take from Wikipedia if it ever becomes relevant to you.
