I now use "ASCII em-dashes" by using two hyphens -- like this. Or--if you prefer no spaces--like this.

I cannot understand what you're trying to say at all.

Ok but no one here actually implied that they think like this.

YouTube already supports that natively these days, although it's kind of hidden (and knowing Google, it might very well randomly disappear one day). Open the description of the video, scroll down and click "show transcript".

In that case, how come they "left in the first days of the job" because "they saw what they were going to work on and peaced out"?

I seriously doubt saying "big blond haired baby who likes burger and fascism" instead of "Trump" would have made a difference for these people.

No, it's both.

The purpose of high school is to give you a wide foundation on everything.

The purpose of an undergraduate degree (in math) is to give you a wide foundation (in math).

In a (math) PhD, you are generally hyper-specialized in a very, very narrow area (of math).

What?

This doesn't "need to" exist, it's just a funny parody that someone made.

No, and this is where this formal notion of basis I mentioned unfortunately diverges from what is perhaps more useful in practice.

You can represent any function f: [-pi, pi] -> R as an infinite sum

    f(x) = sum_(k = 0 to infinity) (a_k sin(kx) + b_k cos(kx))

for some coefficients a_k and b_k as long as f is sufficiently nice (I don't remember the exact condition, sorry).

This is very useful, but the functions sin(x), sin(2x), ... , cos(x), cos(2x), ... don't constitute a basis in the formal sense I mentioned above as you need an infinite sum to represent most functions. It is still often called a basis though.

The set of all real->real functions is still a vector space.

This vector space also has a basis (even if it is not as useful): there is a (uncountably infinite) subset of real->real functions such that every function can be expressed as a linear combination of a finite number of these basis functions, in exactly one way.

There isn't a clean way to write down this basis, though, as you need to use Zorn's lemma or equivalent to construct it.

GP's comment was about accepting this actively vs passively, not about being complicit.

Is there any reference to pigs being possessed with spirits that predate the New Testament?

> This might be okay for consumer apps, but maddeningly, the same doctrine gets applied to enterprise applications as well. I've literally heard non-techie employees of a Fortune 100 company ask for their legacy green screen terminals back because the new, flashy SPA was slowing them down.

Applying general design principles without taking actual use cases into account is the worst.

A common one is putting heaps of whitespace around each cells in a table. Visually appealing, sure. But unusable if I need to look at more than 8 rows at the same time.

I feel like this is kind of pedantic - if your definition of the word "political" renders their point moot, then clearly they must be using a different definition.

But I understand what you mean. The problem is that 99% of online discussions about politics are not about how it relates to anything else. They are usually the same 5 conversations rehashed over and over again. And for some reason, they are aggressively derailed in that direction.

I once had to solve a captcha in a foreign language because of that. Wasn't something obvious like motorcycles either, it was something like "click on all hamsters" in a grid full of various rodents.

You're right that discoverability is not really the issue.

However, I still agree with the GP that if you are not on the Play Store, you lose most of your installations.

If someone has already discovered your app and can't find it on the Play Store, they are more likely to assume that it's not supported on their phone, unavailable in their region or whatever. Even if you explicitly tell them to just download the APK, most people will not do that. Keep in mind that the average user probably doesn't even know that you can install apps from outside the Play Store. Or even if they guess that it's probably possible, they might well perceive it as complicated and sketchy.
