Isn't the point of the pumping lemma to express the idea of language regularity _without_ referencing finite automata? The equivalence between various classes of languages and different subclasses of Turing machines isn't discussed until later in the formal languages course, so this is essentially arguing in favor of overhauling it entirely.

False | emn13 | t2_1p64 | Come back in 20 years, and see how many mailing list archives are still readable, vs. say, this reddit thread.
Or even: how usable email is, despite the fact that it's terribly designed, and all economic incentives align against it. Given how much its competitors stack the deck and overspend, you'd think email would have been dead for a long, long time.
There's nothing wrong with software-as-a-marketable commodity. But proprietary interchange and especially closed platforms are a huge, huge economic drain. They exist solely because they allow leverage, and are one of the few ways (another notable one being network effects) a software producer can gain that leverage - software being, after all, eminently copyable, mimicable, and editable. But it also means we are doomed to reinvent each wheel millions of times. And I'd wager that there are software wheels that have been reinvented well over a million number of times. And of course - many in subtly incompatible ways.
So: *commercial* would be fine. But *proprietary* is a hugely wasteful disease that results in software turning into the dreck it is today. It should be illegal to try and keep software interchange proprietary - let alone actually protect that in law; in the same vein it's illegal to commit accounting fraud, or that public companies need to report various results private companies do not, or to pollute the environment. Yes, I get it: it's a boon to the person doing it. But it's just a mess for everybody else. And you know, even software producers consume a hell of a lot more software than they produce.
Obviously... this is a pipe dream, but even baby steps matter.

False | emn13 | t2_1p64 | Honestly: I don't know. But it smells like developers trying to be too clever and implementing features they have no real use case for. I mean, autocrlf was set to false by default in... 2007 *(!)*, so somebody must have realized this wasn't the brightest of ideas.
But the feature still exists, and many docs recommend enabling it. And once enabled, it'll persist in your home dir, and people don't wipe those all that often. Not that anybody really explains why you'd want this - except maybe because I really want to edit the linux kernel code in notepad? I don't know.
So although autoclrf is off-by-default, it's likely still enabled in a significant minority of cases, and even where it isn't: `.gitattributes` makes it easy to turn back on, and although it's documented what it does, it's not intuitive. I sure wouldn't look twice at a line such as `*.html text` that appears to suggest html is text. I mean, it is, right? Except what it actually does is reenable line ending normalization. Because you know, there may be some dev living under some rock that can't deal with files with either line ending? And we better mangle our repo, just to be sure?
And then there's git-merge, which is highly configurable, but - I *think* at least - will eat utf8 BOMs for fun. Though maybe it's just one of the merge engines, who knows.
Because although line ending inconsistencies are a largely theoretical problem, encoding misdetections are not. So that BOM? Might be relevant. Might have avoided exactly the kind of mangling that the git release notes suffer from.

The MMU made the biggest difference, because your Unix could have modern protected memory. 32-bit Unix could run in 4MB then, and there was paging, so the difference in 4MB and 128MB is just speed.
Sure, the prices were different, but by comparing the 68k Suns versus 68k Macs and Amigas, it's clear that the important difference certainly wasn't the processor architecture or model.

False | phadej | t2_4qmwn | Because the derivative of regular expressions behaves very a like other differential operators (there are many, in different fields):
It's not an abuse, but very clever making of a connection between similar concepts.
The connection which helps building an intuition.
---
Some rules of derivation (of regular expressions).
Empty regex (unit of union, think *0*):
∂/∂x ∅ = ∅ or ∂/∂x 0 = 0
Empty string (unit of concatenation, think *1*):
∂/∂x ε = ∅ or ∂/∂x 1 = 0
Union (think *plus*): derivate is linear:
∂/∂x (r | s) = ∂/∂x r | ∂/∂x s
or
∂/∂x (r + s) = ∂/∂x r + ∂/∂x s
Concatenation (think *times*, juxtaposition), has fancy transformation over `r`, otherwise
resembles the chain rule (google for *regular-expression derivatives reexamined* for explanation of ν) :
∂/∂x (rs) = (∂/∂x r) s + ν(r) ∂/∂x s
Also deriving single characters, resembles partial derivates of coordinates:
∂/∂x x = 1
∂/∂x y = 0 x ≠ y
---
TL;DR differential operators are not about calculus only. I'd say, everything *linear* and admitting *chain rule* are differential operators (for some reasonable concept of *linear* in the domain).
---
To your complain about notation, some authors write `∂ₐr` etc. The derivation variable is important. OTOH, everything is a function (also regular derivation, from function space to another), but having handy notation, is ... handy.

False | Kache | t2_3gl2m | Assuming you're intimately familiar with programming using regexes, how about these examples:
Any language matchable by regex is composed of a finite set of defined substring combinations or infinite loops (`*` and `+`) over those finite combinations.
Consider the language of basic arithmetic made of only `0123456789+-`. You'd be able to write a regex that identifies `353+664-89999900-32` as valid and `+4+`, `5--9`, and `1+2-` as invalid. You'd be able to write one that'd work for _all_ possible basic arithmetic expressions, as I've defined it -- one that "fully captures" the language.
On the other hand, HTML has this infinitely recursive structure and syntax rules about tag matching, where you could write a regex that matches parts or subsets of valid HTML, but not all possible valid HTML. You wouldn't even be able to do it for a SimpleHTML variant that only had `<div>` and `<p>` (and their closing tags).

False | Firewolf420 | t2_jebka | As a side note the easiest most general understanding I have of it is:
Something processing a string can only have so many states (finite states). Via the pigeonhole principle, there must be some length of a string which, when exceeded, will cause the machine to need to repeat (loop) states in order to process all of it.
We break the language defined by a rule, by showing a string supposedly in the language is not able to be looped over at all without breaking our original rule. Because pieces will repeat in ways that cause the resultant string to not be in the language. ^(E.g., a string that needs to be of the form xy which x contains only zeros and y contains ones ends up looking like '00010111' if you take '000111' and repeat the middle two characters once. Making it not in the language.)

This means that for example x^2y^3=xy^3x=y^3x^2
so there are two ways d/dx can chop off an x from your term and you have to take the sum xy^3 + y^3x = 2 xy^3. So if you write it down correctly you can get derivatives of polynomials this way.
For an example a bit closer to the OP, this notation used for derivatives of cyclic words in noncommutative algebra.

Regarding Feynman, the entire premise that everything can be explained is wrong. This has been shown formally, in case you are wondering. It's just a statement that he made in order to make people who don't understand things on his level feel better about themselves.
The reality, however, is that most people will have absolutely no fucking chance to understand the world around them.

I definitely agree on keeping PRs to a single scope. That's been a pain point for my team, especially since we just moved to a much stricter lint configuration that sometimes requires unrelated style changes to pass the automated tests.
Some teams might have different views on some parts. For example, my team encourages opening a PR early and progressively improving it alongside an ongoing code review.

False | eliasv | t2_786hb | Do not speculate or add hooks for extension ... That's easy enough when you're working in a closed world where refactoring cost is low and only your own to bear. When you're designing systems that will be used by third parties sometimes there's a certain amount of extensibility you need to work in from the ground up, because retrofitting as and when needed will break all your users too. As much as a lot of people would like to pretend otherwise, because it is very difficult to do right, sometimes speculation is an important part of design. | null | 0 | 1545741591 | False | 0 | ecimebb | t3_a9e0a5 | null | null | t3_a9e0a5 | /r/programming/comments/a9e0a5/programming_a_problemorientedlanguage/ecimebb/ | 1548050152 | 5 | t5_2fwo | r/programming | public | null |

False | awj | t2_198ad | I guess it depends on the efficiency you’re looking for.
At a machine level, yeah it’s inefficient. This JIT will only be valuable on machines with lots of cores (to support the JIT thread) that run code over and over again. That said, JITting code run infrequently or on low powered devices is a bit of a niche use case.
But, at a language level, it gives you access to a lot of optimizations without the man-decades of work other platforms sink into developing and maintaining them. It works reasonably well across platforms, and Ruby runs on a *lot* of platforms.
I can understand the design decision in terms of management of language development resources. We’ll see how it proves out in user experience. I’m honestly not aware of any precedent to inform expectations on how this will play out. | null | 0 | 1545742001 | False | 0 | ecimng0 | t3_a9dkji | null | null | t1_eciiy14 | /r/programming/comments/a9dkji/ruby_260_released_thank_you_everyone_who_worked/ecimng0/ | 1548050264 | 9 | t5_2fwo | r/programming | public | null |
False | zeroone | t2_3782z | I never encountered emulation stutters or slowdowns. I kept the rules as simple as possible. And my PC has pretty high specs (it's about a year old now; so, it can't be that super).
Since the emulator can rewind time and the bot operates in realtime, not only was I able to get instant feedback, I was able to repeat segments of play to see how minor tweaks effected things. The process was really fun. I was playing through the game indirectly, a kind of challenge that I never experienced before.
