You don't know what to say. That's fine.
You might be wasting their time. That's fine.
You might not know how to end the conversation. That's fine.
It's ok to be awkward. It's ok to be honest. It's ok to bother people as long as you take their feedback appropriately. It's ok to walk away without saying anything.
The more often that you talk to people and actively reflect on the REAL outcomes of it, the sooner you'll realize those concerns aren't shared by most other people.

Things just mature and hype isn't as cool when you heard it 5 years ago.

I've rented quite a few EVs long term and if you have to travel 200+ mile trips even 5% of the time they incite terrifying range anxiety in some (most) parts of the country (US).
If you are always or very nearly always under 100 miles a day, they're fine. Most _people_ live in that realm, but most _areas_ in the US are full of people who do not.

Think generics in Go or concurrency (effects) in OCAML or smart pointers in Rust. Not at all unique things, but having them in the language with other benefits is worth some discussion as it may provide extra leverage in context.

So rather than processing the collection, passing it to the next function that processes the collection, passing it to the next... etc.. consuming all the CPU and memory that involves, you can define steps that are applied for each item in the collection thereby having the iteration through the collection happen once.
These steps (transducers) are also composable and reusable.
I suspect you know this, consider this a basic explanation for other people reading.
casion | 2 years ago | on: Untouchable number
This really seems to assume that uniqueness is an implicit property of each integer of such sums. I don't understand how you would know know that or how to discover that other than "you couldn't get the answers we're showing you unless you assumed that".
casion | 2 years ago | on: Untouchable number
How would I know this having read the description/definition?
I checked multiple definitions for proper divisor and untouchable number before I wrote my post and I could not find anything explicit.
Thank you for the explanation btw. Still a bit hung up on how I could have figured that myself given the information presented.
casion | 2 years ago | on: Untouchable number
Why is 2 + 2 + 1 = 5 not sufficient? It doesn't say unique proper divisors. The definition of proper divisors doesn't seem to explain either.
i.e. why is 10 not an untouchable number but 5 is?
Specifically given the precise definition given, anything should be touchable as 1 is a proper divisor, and you can sum any number of 1s to "touch" a number. Clearly we're missing some implicit restriction.
