I have been programming for over 20 years, most of it in FP land. ML is tractable, a beautiful prism through which one can peek at Computer Science as a subject, but it has a frustrating lack of _practical_ tooling and beginner-friendly community. For anything outside basic I/O, you will need to dust off compiler-specific extensions, most of them last used on "Un*x Workstations".

Just look at the Basis library. Safe to say it's nowhere near Racket, Scala, Clojure, Kotlin, ...

Or more likely, some imaginative fanboy wrote it. Like much of the espionage / military / conspiracy articles. There is a heavy demand for literature that makes people feel knowledgeable and significant.

Not a recommender system or anything that intelligent. This is basically a keyword search of the paper titles. Even something as simple as term-frequence analysis would place the two papers far apart.

On the other hand, making citizenships "sticky" can dissuade people from some crimes BECAUSE they're citizens.

In the war of terrorism, U.S-citizens caught fighting for Al-Qaeda/ISIS are tried for treason (potentially carrying a death penalty) while foreign fighters could be afforded the luxury of the Geneva Convention rights.

And yes, I am a naturalized US citizen.

She brings back the child-like wonder and joy of early "tuts" of hackerdom. The old "asciiz" were tutorials written by people who both _enjoyed_ programming, and found it mischievous.

That's still not how recursion works.

They would be mutually recursive if Fallout's was a reference to Dune, and Dune's a reference to Fallout.

This is just a simple reference, perhaps indirect, but not recursion.

I'm from Somalia and I can assure you the Colombian experiment is being watched with a keen eye.

We too have murderous killers reformed to some sort of tribal elders.

Our violence, much like yours, has been mostly profit/power-driven. Except ours got tremendously worse with the introduction of Jihadi ideology.

I pray to FSM for the safety of both our nations. Stay safe, and may Colombia and Somalia stay safe. Con todos mi amor, hermano/a!

Blind devs would be perfect for certain problem spaces, like security-sensitive work or expert-witness type research.

It's the exact same thing.

For example, Suez Canal is called "Qanat al-Suez" in Arabic.
