I don't know, variable decelerations seem to me to be funny but useful.

I mean constant constants, constant variables, and variable variables seem useful.

I'm not sure how would variable constants be useful.

Also, anybody knows the difference between constant constant and immutable data (constant contact constant)?

That's interesting.

Would you share the details of the hardware setup (MiniPC, USB remote control) and screenshots of your configured KDE/Plasma desktop?

... and aspect ratios. Country flags are not (almost) squared as in the OP link.

Just type > before pasting the quoted text. But you have type some text in a separate line as a place holder of your own response before you paste your quote or else your response will be part of the quote as you just said.

I'm not even American, but CNN coverage of the 1990-91 Gulf War really put them on the radar. The whole Middle East watched CNN Live coverage.

Are you thinking F#?

I believe that other than being ML-like language and being developed jointly by Microsoft Research and Inria, F* has nothing to do with F# and .NET.

... and C. But I can see why you dropped Part C. Part A and B were excellent but C not that much.

Dan Grossman is an excellent educator. You'll probably learn more programming [languages] concepts than any other beginner's course.

Just be careful when setting up Algo VPN.

Its secure defaults will probably block all other services you're running on your server and render them inaccessible.

You might even end up not being able to ssh to your server if you choose not to let Algo set up ssh configurations (because you have your own).

I would say install Algo on a dedicated droplet or backup your VPS before setting it up.

Why do think is the reason that most managers in technology are bad? I tend to think of management as abstraction. A mid-level manager provides an abstraction of the work for high-level management and at the same time is provided an abstraction of the work by the low-level managers or engineers. Assuming that my understanding is right, are these abstractions leaky? is the lack of technical knowledge the reason why managers are bad?

   I'm not going to say the M-word, someone will *maybe* say it in ... *either* case.
Just wanted to say I see what you did there. Nothing insightful to add.

Any chance you'd record the lectures like the 2012 iteration? Seems that the discussions are a big part of this pedagogical approach; and those are better captured through videos than notes/books. Also, the latest version of PaPL book doesn't seem to incorporate the mystery languages. Is there a plan to include them in the book?
