  • In Forth, though, the number of results pushed to the stack after an execution of a word could be a function of the input rather than a single value or even a fixed number of values.

    Likewise, the number of arguments that a word pops from the stack could be a function of a value pushed earlier to the stack.

  • I am not a big fan of the first example. If all that a function is doing is pasting its argument into a template string, then I'd rather see that pattern expressed explicitly in a single line of code than have to mentally infer this pattern myself by reading two separately expressed cases in six lines of code.

    (It's not that big of a deal, but when reading through a lot of code to figure out what is going on, these little extra mental exertions start to really add up.)

  • Sure, but in fairness I think that the intent of that saying is not to say that husbands should not be happy but to counterbalance the trend that used to be more historically prevalent in marriages for the wife to be treated as an appendage of the husband and taken for granted. If you view your partner as co-equal then arguably this saying simply does not apply to you at all.

  • Which, in turn, is a consequence of the spin-statistics theorem.

    As for why the spin-statistics theorem is true, the answer is that, in a sense, we do not really know. This is because, although we have rigorous mathematical proofs that it is true, they rely on arguments that are very technical in nature, so they provide no real intuitive insight into why the theorem is true. (This theorem is actually really notorious for this; people have been trying for a long time to improve on the situation, but have yet to succeed in coming up with a satisfactory elementary proof of it.)

  • When I see phrases like "re-thinking" and "another point of view", I am led to believe that I will be reading about something relatively new. Instead, there not anything new here, and on top of that the person writing the article seems to barely understand the concepts involved. Finally, their English is so poor that the article is really hard to read.

  • Hey now, you should be thanking your teachers for this incredibly valuable early life lesson on the difference between what the customer says that they want and what they actually need, and which of these two you are going to get paid more for!

    Remember: the customer is always right!
