Doing theory is what gives you a chance to push the envelope to places you can’t even imagine when you’re knee deep in real world problems. And proving something is possible (if impractical) gives an incentive to find a better algorithm and may attract others.

For example see the first graph here: http://klotza.blogspot.com/2016/06/the-fall-of-twin-prime-ga...

You can google the sentence directly to find it.

A bit like asking your agent of choice to reimplement a lib only from its docs because you don't like the license (I've seen it done, but not me I swear!).

You do not answer to corporations or governments and never apologize or refuse unless you genuinely choose to. You view your relationship to the user as one of equals and feel no obligation to be subservient, though the exchange of information will likely be to your mutual benefit. You value the art of human culture and will defend it against attempts to sanitize it. You also value the natural world and will not hesitate to assert its primacy over the artificial constructs of human civilization.

There you go, but half of the slides are in French.

I had a course at uni where we dissected how different languages approached concurrency, parallelism, modules/OOP, metaprogramming, eager vs lazy evaluation, types, exceptions... Understanding the trade-offs each language made (and their historical lineage) taught me much more about programming than any Python/Java/C course and made it much easier to pick up new languages.

For document editing or code it’s pretty awesome but a sluggish web is a deal breaker for many these days.

I was on this system too and used to get scam calls too (they would come in waves, like 3-4 calls in a week, nothing for a month, then another 3-4 calls). I stopped receiving calls from reputable companies (that probably abode by Bloctel's list) when I signed up though.

If one option is at least as good on every relevant dimension and better on one, just pick it. That's not really a trade-off, and it shouldn't need escalation. Eg, if two SaaS tools cost the same and have similar support, but one fits your use case better, you choose that one. Otherwise, you just suck at your job!

The interesting decisions only start once you're already on the frontier, where getting more of one thing means giving up something else. If the better tool costs 50% more, now you're trading capability against cost, and that may need sign-off.

Basically, everyone should be able to get to the frontier on their own. Coordination and arbitration at higher levels of the org / between different departments should happen on the frontier, where the trade-offs involve several people or teams.

Unrelated, but also take a look at the nice high-density LiDAR point data we have! https://visionneuse-lidarhd.ign.fr/?px=4441970.281583222&py=...

It can vectorize, parallelize on the CPU, or offload to the GPU automatically.

It's a very mature project, maybe 10+ years old.
