Let's call BS.

It's inane to claim existence being the root of all evil, because, yeah, it's the root of friggin' _everything_.

Nothing is forced on "you" because without existence there is no "you". Or anti-natalists could just as easily be blamed of "depriving" the non-born of their chance to live. Ouch.

I, for one, enjoy life (and don't you dare tell me I just don't realise it sucks). I even like working on the hard bits, like underpaid shopkeepers and inhumane working hours, thank you.


Does this factor in the wetware upkeep during the development cycle? Development in C generally is slower than in most of the other languages.

We all do now


The Python of drawing tools.



I am not clear why the proof is so long. By induction, the first i elements are already smaller than the A[i], so it's essentially an unoptimised version of

for i: 0..n-1 A[i] = min(A[i:n])


After the first iteration of the loop (and every other one too), A[i] is the maximum of the array, not the minimum.


Oh crap, now I see it. Thanks!


> it's "Rochambeau", a name.

"Connections to the French surname Rochambeau are a folk etymology"

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/rochambeau


suggesting that you know that saying "Rochambeau" is unconnected from the French name Rochambeau is a folk etymology. Saying we can't identify any connection between this word and a person with the same name is closer to the truth.


But the same wiki also lists my spelling as correct. So you're really not contributing anything?


> Would it be possible to develop a computer from linear transformations?

Yes. The transition function of Turing machines and the working tape can be represented as linear transformations. For quantum computers, these transformations even need to be unitary.

This very standard construction does not conflict with the halting problem: you don't know how often you have to apply this linear transform to your state vector until you got your result.


The article has the wrong caption I would think ("running K3s on a bunch of PIs" would be more fitting).

Netbooting a bare metal environment is quite straightforward for the PI 3 (dnsmasq has it all) and takes around 15-30 secs.
