In Portugal it is part of the standard curriculum although in my time they were poorly motivativated and besides solving some classes of quadratic equations no other applications were mentioned.

If it doesn't matter I will just pick the cheapest to run (the static ones).

We also use technology to care for the people in medicine and it requires pretty advanced science and engineering. Doesn't that shred your argument?

OP was talking about this: https://www.math.uwaterloo.ca/~hwolkowi/matrixcookbook.pdf

Look into some examples of the section 2.4 "Derivatives of Matrices, Vectors and Scalar Forms"

I took it in good faith I just think that:

- the overregulation narrative conflates two different problems

- and that you minimized too much the consumer benefits of EU legislation

I think the overregulation problem olis less that we have 200 EU regulations and we need to hack and slash 100 of them and more that we have 100 national regulations 25 are exact transcriptions of EU directives, 25 are transcriptions with tweaks and the other 50 are national scoped regulations and what we need to do is to make them uniform so that companies don't have to deal with 27x75 problems.

I'm a bit burned by politicians using the overregulation narrative and then not specifying a single example of a meaningfull rule that they would get rid of. Usually what is left in the air is that worker rights and consumer rights should be cut.

Do you believe I can't get a list of 20 effective pro-consumer regulations drafted by the EU out of Gemini?

This was an half usefull joke. I can still make it with the exterior unit off for an extra 1 or 2 degrees with just the interior unit blowing during the day and the use the AC to cool during the night when it is more efficient.

In any case where I live fans are not a meaningfull stopgap measure.

You can use your AC as a fan when it is not too bad.

> A very personal view but many developers/engineers fail to see the overall picture. And yes, I was there and I went through all of the mistakes.

What is failling to see the overall picture? I hate this overall picture mysticism. I bet that if people where given the same role and information as the CEO they would be able to see the overall picture.

  if our agent wants to book a journal entry to cash accounts for a client, it MUST provide receipt and directly link the transaction from the clients bank feed
And that rule is encoded in the CLI?

So you still have CLIs but they have I presume an help command that describes the capabilities right.

Could you give an example of an accounting guardrail you created?

Sorry to bother but is there hope we are going to see Practical Math for Programmers published any time soon?
