At this point, you'd be crazy to visit the USA at all.

I'm thinking about trying the upcoming Advent of code with Raku, but I have never used it and it looks too complex to be picked up in a week or two. Any thoughts?

Well, let me tell you from experience that everything is difficult in Germany due to insane bureaucracy. I applied for student funding twice and twice I had to pay everything back due to technicalities. I would not consider founding a startup in Germany.

C is actually a huge disadvantage here for me, since I have no use for it outside of this tutorial which makes it hard to justify learning it on top of learning how a compiler works...

That just sounds like a product type with some dynamic checking, no?

> The overhead to writing C makes it a less friendly introduction to the topic if you have never written a compiler or interpreter (or parser, specifically) before.

That's true and was my first thought. C seems like an arcane choice for an introduction course.

I'm thinking about following the tutorial in Julia or Kotlin, but it would be interesting how the code looks in a different language like F#.

How was F# for the task?

What is silly is saying that everything is possible until proven otherwise. It's possible when it's discovered, otherwise it's not.

There's the HANS dataset which is used to evaluate NLI models to check if they pick up surface heuristics: https://huggingface.co/datasets/hans https://arxiv.org/abs/1902.01007

Never.

fishmaster | 4 years ago | on: Employee shortages: Where have all the workers gone?

It's not about 'compassion', it's about denying the Covid pandemic being real and calling it 'the cough'.

fishmaster | 4 years ago | on: Employee shortages: Where have all the workers gone?

"Sla- I mean, workers get too much pay and benefits, they should be happy to work. Why can't I find any workers?!"

Impressive FUD.

Many, many more people use Android than IOS.

People use it precisely because the audio is great and just works.
