And that’s why you don’t see cooking mouse no more.

// TODO: Leave the code cleaner than you found

In recent git versions (>2.23), git restore and git restore --staged are the preferred ways to discard changes in the working tree (git checkout -- .) and staged changes (git reset --) respectively.

My point today is that, if we wish to count lines of code, we should not regard them as “lines produced” but as “lines spent”: the current conventional wisdom is so foolish as to book that count on the wrong side of the ledger.

——On the cruelty of really teaching computing science - E.W. Djikstra

The first rule of the Loaf Club…

If you are looking at learning CS in a more holistic manner, there’s Path to a free self-taught education in Computer Science!. It’s a list of courses, categorized by topics, which are exactly what a CS undergraduate would learn. It might feel daunting at first, but you can pick any interesting topic and dive in.

I especially recommend CS50P for beginners.

Also, teenagers are poorer, so any gift would carry more weight.

…or does it?

In this particular case, the server offered to pay for the meal, rather than give it for free.

One problem with exceptions is composability.

You have to rely on good and up-to-date documentation or you have to dig into the source code to figure out what exceptions are possible. For a lot of third party dependencies (which constitute a huge part of modern software), both can be missing.

Error type is a mitigation, but you are free to e.g. panic in Rust if you think the error is unrecoverable.

A third option is to have effect types like Koka, so that all possible exceptions (or effects) can be checked at type level. A similar approach can be observed in practical (read: non-academic) languages like Zig. It remains to be seen whether this style can be adopted by the mainstream.

You would expect that from the author of The Dispossessed. She’s an anarchist (Paul Goodman leaning) through and through. She also wrote the preface to Murray Bookchin’s The Next Revolution.

Bingo!

The paper only says it’s a collaboration. It’s pretty large scale, so the opportunity might be rare. There’s a chance that (the same or other) researchers will follow up and experiment in more schools.

You think adults are prettier?

There’s always next time.

Well, it depends on your definition of truth and it could be the absolute truth by definition. A theorem is absolutely true in the same way that “a bachelor is an unmarried man” is categorically true.

Sorry I wasn’t being clear. AC is used for connecting within areas of densely populated cities, e.g. British National Grid. If we are talking about really long distances (> hundreds of kilometers), HVDC is indeed preferred.

I was talking about a trend of some factories replacing AC from power grids (possibility generated in nearby cities) with DC from solar panels on their rooftops. So it’s a long distance compared to that.
