They also don’t have to act on callables, see @dataclass for instance.

I understand and agree with your sentiment, but just don't buy the uni-tasker type lego. They make plenty of sets where most if not all of the parts are general and can be used for undirected play.

I’m up voting because I want to hear this side of the argument. I guess your point is that most people’s experience isn’t that bad, and they owe their parents.

Sure, so it can just be a matter of balancing how they treat you and your family vs basic decency and the benefit of merely maintaining contact and having them around as grandparents for your kids. Everyone’s experience and tolerance is different.

I don’t think we necessarily owe our parents. They made the conscious decision to have us and raise us, that ought to be a reward in it self.

I certainly will the best I can for my kids, but I don’t want them to think they owe me anything. This is especially true if I am (unknowingly or unconsciously) treating them or their family very badly.

It’s relatively expensive, depends on your income level. Chicken beef and goat are common. Folks in the country have better access than in the cities.

Threadrippers are not really 'workstation' CPUs, they are HEDT CPUs. More Apples-to-Apples would be to compare to EPYC CPUs.

Same here. Dataclasses and type annotations are fantastic, not to mention f-strings.

tried this outside of QGIS? pip install rasterio, etc.

We heavily use GDAL/rasterio/numpy at work with no real problems.

Google's 3D models are based on aerial imagery, which is higher resolution, and suffers from much less atmospheric interference.

Ha, Dr. Blecher's webpage on HN! That's great.

I did my PhD in math, in large part because I enjoyed his class on advanced linear algebra so much, and later on real and functional analysis.

> Some thirty or so years ago, Bessel functions were included in the syllabus, but in our day they are out of the question. > Teaching a subject of which no honest examples can be given is, in my opinion, demoralizing.

I don't get this. Differential equations theory is about proving existence and uniqueness of solutions. If you have to use numerical techniques to actually compute the solution, then that's perfectly fine. After all, even if the solution is explicit, like sin(x), or especially a special function, then we still need to use numerical techniques to actually evaluate that explicit solution.

> You're taking juicy green or red beans that visually resemble cranberries, and turning them hard and black to the point that they nearly resemble charcoal.

The beans are treated and dried before roasting. Before roasting, they resemble dry legumes more than anything else.

I generally agree with your sentiment. I think there's an important distinction to add. By and large, people don't fully expect their mobile devices to be general purpose computing machines in the same way that their PCs are. What I expect from my phone, primarily, is convenience and usability.

Of course, at least on android devices, it's not at all uncommon to install custom variants of the OS (CyanogenMod, etc.), so it does happen.

> But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.

If you have machines over to which you can turn your thinking, why would you still need to enslave other humans?
