If you have a project and the title and subtitle of the post about it are:

<punchy name>: <noun>, <past tense verb>

then please take 10 seconds to reword it.

"UptimeChecker: Baby's first SaaS, implemented with 900 unit tests"

"Andre's Steakhouse: Fine dining, cooked au sexuale"

"Dogdos: Sex toys for your dog, delivered to your door"

A lot of people will just ignore it and they won't see the valuable work Claude spent a handful of your 5h sessions performing.

No most of us are keen on developing human relationships and intimacy, but it sounds like you view women as a warm fleshlight so I hope that you and your genetic line wind up as dead ends with dry humping a robot as your greatest life accomplishment. Good job lil fella. Give that Claude session your 3.5 inches of American steel.

Honestly I think that people who want to fuck a clanker not passing their genes on is probably for the best.

This is really not that complicated a quote anyway. It is packed full of jargon, but she's talking about moving from a structuralist mindset to one that views power structures as formed contingently from their society rather than structurally from capital.

Not surprising that this philosophical philistinism is from an Anglo publication.

That vendepatria hasn't stood up to any authoritarianism; all she's done is buddy up with other authoritarians to try to obtain power. Her giving her Peace Prize to Trump might be one of the most humiliating things she could have done.

What is a critique of Russia or China in this context that isn't true of the US?

Or you could just save all that time and effort and scroll through it like a reasonable person.

Always thought this rule is hilarious because the fact that such comparisons are so overwhelmingly common that they needed to address it with this bitchy little rule (adding one link to an example per word is a classic tell that an internet moderator is spending their highly compensated moderation time Extremely Mad lol).

However, rather than understand the obvious explanation for it, that reddit and HN's karma systems encourage performative comment behavior with people trying to be epic for the peanut gallery, they make the boneheaded decision to just assume it's an "illusion". It's like Dunning-Krueger but for their theory of mind and general emotional intelligence, with the cause being obvious enough that I don't feel I need to name it.

>I joke that using Python on your modern 2020s CPU upgrades it to a Pentium 4 from 2004 running code compiled with C. And the 2004 version might still be faster.

It really doesn't for a lot of the things that matter, and people should seriously ignore your opinions if you're making these kind of fatuous jokes. Any serious person should understand what CPU bound tasks are vs what IO bound ones are. Python is used for the latter, with some C/C++/Rust bindings for the former. You are ignorant and tedious. When should I actually give a fuck? is the question that you types that build nothing never manage to answer. If you can improve some significant metric by 50x by moving away from Python, you should be fired for having been stupid enough to choose the wrong tool for the job.

To simulate a jazz legend of a different instrument, Buddy Rich: It sounds like shit. Fuck you.

My problem is that that website didn't let a small genocidal colony infiltrate and subvert its major frontpage subs 10 years ago.

To give another simple example, Israel has managed to pollute the mods of r/worldnews enough to make it a singularly active cheerleader of the genocide until the last year or two.

Do moralities expire like tomatoes left on the counter?

Yeah man

Doesn't matter if you increase the housing supply but replace the demand with one of a higher real estate tier. "Oh no all these $300k houses were knocked down to make $800k condos. But on the bright side consider how much higher the supply will be!"

Yeah, most real people are repulsed by YIMBY scum.

You're finally getting it. Russia and Ukraine are truly the same when it comes to seeking their own interests. Ukraine was happy to fund far-right psychos to go terrorize Russian citizens of Ukraine after 2014 because that's the bargain they made. Russia invaded to stop NATO/EU from ending the kleptocracy because they are horrible shit stain oligarchs.

Yes. Zelensky is a kapo.

I'm gonna let you in on some new info about Stalin...

Every person alive has had to use the restroom. What you mean is that you have a bladder issue.

I'm an American citizen who read news about Ukraine back when it was a niche thing to care about and I have Ukrainian friends who tell me how it's going. You can't imagine how stressful it is to live there and get drafted into their drone target lottery.

Remind me and other readers, what did the Tornado battalion do, and what did Zelensky do with them?

Also, remind me, when did the Ukrainian parliament last celebrate the Nazi collaborator (Bandera) during its new years posts?

Who specifically did the author's preferred posters here plagiarize?

For your sake, based on your comments throughout this post, I hope you didn't pay for any stage of your education.

Having not really used these grading systems growing up, ABRSM is odd to me in general. Has a very very low ceiling for difficulty, at least for piano. I never really know what is appropriate for what grades, especially given that the UK grading system covers MUCH more complex material.

But yes, it takes an amazing amount of arrogance to look at a simple exploration of music theory from first principles and respond with "this isn't music theory"

Man that top comment is such a combination of "sneering to show off" and completely wrong that I'm shocked I'm not on reddit.

Recommending The Jazz Theory Book to someone starting from scratch, especially someone self studying, is like recommending CLRS or TAOCP to someone who asks "I'm curious about learning the basics of algorithms and data structures, any good books for self study?" And of course that happens all the time too. Chapter 1 is "here's what intervals like major 3rd and perfect fifths are", Chapter 2 is "here's the major scale and all its diatonic modes and ii-V-I progressions", Chapter 3 is "here's how you might use the Phyrigian mode to play over a Sus flat-9 chord" (pg 48).

Recommending Schoenberg and Messiaen as steps to get a sufficient surface of topics covered for "music theory" is performance art in its own regard. Bravo!

The "runtime complexity" we're talking about is big-O. In computer science, which includes this discussion of it, that typically refers to a class of functions. Saying "this algorithm is O(...)" is the same as saying "this algorithm's performance can be modeled by a function belonging to the class of functions O(...), meaning that the size of some characteristic such as runtime, relative to its domain, is bounded asymptotically by another function g(x) = ..."

There's another level of imprecision here in common usage, which is that big-O is strictly an upper bound, meaning that Merge Sort is O(N!). What they really mean is big-Theta, a "tight" bound, in which Merge Sort would be θ(n log n).

But for simplicity's sake, let's use big-O to mean "tightly bound" like people do in casual discussion, and further let's say we're talking about runtime as the size of the function based on its domain:

There is no such thing as big-O performance bounded by a "real-life data structure". The entire point of big-O is that it is asymptotic analysis. You could define a number H, where H is the time to the heat death of the universe, and Python's sets and dictionaries would never be O(H). Because you could for your set/dict runtimes of f(n) still find a constant C and k such that f(n) > C*H for n > k. One example would be setting k to H*C + 1, and that works for either f(n) ∈ O(1) or f(n) ∈ O(n^2).

You can analyze algorithms with respect to real physical limitations, but at that point you are not talking about their "big-O" performance. So the author, despite being "top 2% of scientists" in his field, which is "software performance", seems to still be lagging behind your average freshman compsci student who crammed for their complexity analysis exam.

Asymptotic models are not a statement of how long it will take; they are classes of functions modeling the relationship between some performance outcome (run time most often, but sometimes memory or other things) and data coming in. These mappings from input to performance characteristics are not conditioned on physical limitations but are rather abstract tools for measuring that relationship.
