Many sincere Freemasons exist. -
@Oktokolo: .i la .varik. cu tolnei le gerna je zo'e
VARIK dislikes the grammars and whatnot {N}. -
@stop: "Sketch" is the new, hip abbreviation of "sketchy". God forbid the use of a 2-syllable word.
-
Within reason, people who really care about fair treatment tend to not draw attention to such stuff.
A damn fine rant is made. -
Haskell is most bitchin'... but APL is nice, as well. Consider looking into APL. ;^)
-
In computer programming, the importance of reasoning is arguably greater than or equal to the importance of knowledge.
-
Additional context is needed.
-
@mcalis: Beauty and efficiency are GENERALLY not mutually exclusive. But dummies can ruin anything.
-
@ltlian: "[P]lain" stuff CAN be good, but jokes are always nice. ;^)
-
Percussive maintenance is often a legitimate thing.
-
Both choices are just awful.
-
Dealing with lusers is always a pain in the ass.
The pain in the ass is generally metaphorical. -
@lbfalvy: A fair point is made; these comments are not the content of a style guide. A relatively decent re-write is as follows:
VARIK generally uses terribly uncommon words only for comedic effect.
Exceptions include uncommon words which suit problems extremely well. -
@vintprox: Adverbs are frequently used. But the adverb is not a "one-size-fits-all" solution; there exist various types of ambiguity.
[An example of a stupid question is "what is [THING]".] -
@lbfalvy: Terribly uncommon words are generally used only for comedic effect.
Exceptions include uncommon words which suit problems extremely well. -
@lbfalvy: The passive voice is occasionally useful; the passive voice draws attention to objects and whatnot, as opposed to subjects.
-
P.S. This rant does NOT imply that "uncanny" is a four-syllable word. _Some_ sanity remains.
-
@c3r38r170: Symbolic stuff is also often used.
-
@Oktokolo: "[W]orm-eating troglodytes" refers to the men who believe that HTTPS is _always_ essentially necessary.
-
Some people are dumb. Uhhhuhuhuhuhuhuh.
-
s/"https" implies that k/"https" iff k/g
-
@Lensflare: The comparison is accurate.
-
@RememberMe: I strongly like machine learning but prefer fully understanding the solutions of problems and fully optimising stuff over saying "eh" and tossing databases into neural networks.
I apologise for any apparent hostility. I could have worded things a bit better. -
@Nanos: The troglodyte is revealed!
-
@Oktokolo: A fair point is made; "laziness" may not be the most fitting term.
Unwillingness to (think about the underlying relationships between data attributes and create formulas which describe these relationships) is a powerful thing. -
@RememberMe: Let there exist sensor outputs $K$. $K$ is a set of sets of sensor outputs.
Additionally, let there exist a desired output set $J$.
If $K$ can be processed to accurately predict $J$ and $K$ is sufficiently simple, then pure logic and a bit of subject-related knowledge should yield a relatively terse formula which calculates $J$ when given only $K$. -
@Oktokolo: Such men exist. Laziness is one hell of a drug.
-
Remember to use the debug tools... and good old common sense.
-
@Oktokolo: "Low-dimensional" is used such that for all low-dimensional datasets, a low-dimensional dataset can be reasonably visualised as a graph.
This information should have been made clear relatively early.
