These classes often encourage you to collaborate - with others in the class, and also with outside resources. That is: they would encourage you to go read the paper, so long as you cited it as a source and provided a proof in your own words you had reconstructed from memory. The idea is to encourage engagement in the community and teach people to build off of existing results, a skill often overlooked in undergrad where that would have been considered cheating.

Correlations. Language and framework preferences are driven heavily by the environment in which those languages are used. My hypothesis is that firms which still use Rails are likely to be less responsive to their developers' demands and interests in exploring new technologies and thus "working in Rails" has an association of "working somewhere which makes me use Rails."

It's worth noting that in my observation their fares jump in price as the flight approaches to a higher degree than some other airlines, though not too much higher, and I still prefer this to change fees.

Its gesture-interpretation algorithm has gotten absolutely terrible for me recently, to the point that I frequently have to type out whole messages letter by letter because it will keep spitting out really strange guesses when I gesture. (It used to work a lot better, and when I revert to old versions they work great.)

If you compare it to the same product code somewhere else, perhaps. Your parent is stating they perceive the quality at Whole Foods to be substantially better, and worth the price premium. Perhaps they lack alternative reliable sources of high-quality organic produce you might have access to?

"type safe" has come to mean "statically type safe" over time in common conversation. You were downvoted because this intended usage was clear to the people who downvoted you and their perception of your comment was that it provided no value, e.g. was a nitpick.

I would note that the Wikipedia page does not take as strong a position as you seem to imply, reading:

In the context of static (compile-time) type systems, type safety usually involves (among other things) a guarantee that the eventual value of any expression will be a legitimate member of that expression's static type. The precise requirement is more subtle than this — see, for example, subtype and polymorphism for complications.

Since golang is statically typed, type safety is generally understood to mean static type safety.
