@mm4yfa Wonderful to have you here. Let me know if you want to chat or need anything.

@Charlie @freemo
Because uncharted voyages into the endless void full of monsters hell-bent on eating you alive couldn't possibly have psychological repercussions.

Because not-killing an alien species on first contact after they leave their ship is an actually commendable thing to do.

1492 was a trippy time for everyone.

2092 will likely be the same thing in a different scene.

@WomanCorn Feudalism was neither the first form of government nor even a worldwide form. Feudalism was limited mostly to medieval Europe, so it didn't really exist prior to the 9th century Europe.

Contrast this with the first governments (Sumer and Egypt) which arose around 3000 BCE, about 4,000 years earlier than feudalism, which never really made it to that region at all. They were largely monastic.

@Pat
As i recall the moth was stuck in a magnetic real with program instruction on it, not a relay.

Interesting fact of the day: The term "patching" software originates from the fact that you would literally patch holes in early hole punch input in order to fix an issue. Attached is a picture with such patches on it from the Harvard Mark I computer.

@TooTankhaMooN So mystery solved why the paper was taken down. The author lied claiming affiliation with Baylor Scott & White Health in the now removed paper even though he had no affiliation with either and there was a court ordered restraining order in place that explicitly made it illegal to claim association.

Yea but hey lets just repeat the conspiracy theory notion without evidence instead.

@TooTankhaMooN He is not a "top researcher" by any means. But he is an actual scientist with a very small minority opinion when it comes to most things COVID-19 related.

@louisrcouture I wouldnt know, first time I have seen the instance. Wouldnt surprise me considering how the dude acted.

@TooTankhaMooN How is that weird. Happens constantly with pre-peer reviewed papers when they fail to pass peer review. The paper was never released in their journal only released as a pre-published draft at the time to enable peer review, which found significant problem.

I have found absolutely no evidence to suggest the authors werent notified, if you have any I'd be curious to see it, that would be unusual.

@worldsendless A tuple is quite common in many languages and generally means something pretty similar. The python implementation of a tuple is conceptually similar to it in haskell.

@AgathaSorceress Also what you describe about python not telling you about errors until its run, that has nothing to do with interprited vs compiled. There are many reasons for that but you are probably thinking of dynamically typed vs statically typed languages.

@Gina I already have a shaved head and plenty of armpit hair... Ive got nothing to loose!

upset 

@AgathaSorceress Most any language can be run as a compiled or interpreted language. So to me it makes little sense to refer to a language by that classification. It tends to start out as one or the other at best.

@worldsendless not a clojure guy but looks a lot like how its treated in haskell where a tuple can also just be the curried version of the arguments of a method, you can uncurry as well
