Maybe modern languages don't have tuples because modern programming language designers don't have any|much|enough experience with tuples? If I wanted to play with tuples, what language(s) would I have to use?
"Another role Nathoo takes on with founders and startups is an accounting advisor. She’ll ensure that every company incorporates in the state of Delaware, and if they haven’t done this, she’ll help with that process. Y Combinator and most investors will only invest in companies that have been in incorporated in Delaware, and many founders don’t know this. Nathoo says that of the current class of 47 startups at Y Combinator, only one company’s incorporation documents were problem-free when joining the program."
If Kirsty were willing to publicly share any part of her accumulated knowledge in this area, I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one to appreciate it.
I heard once that the circles-on-circles construction of the motion of the bodies of solar system when Earth is taken as its center is merely the Fourier transform of the ellipses that describe the solar system with the Sun as its center.
Unfortunately, I never saw the actual derivation, so that idea is basically hearsay.
By "extreme acidity" do you mean in your gastrointestinal system or elsewhere? (I've heard people talk about blood-level acidity before.) Was there a test that let you track/monitor acidity as you made changes?
Squeak Smalltalk bootstrapped itself (back in 1996) by implementing its virtual machine in Slang, a subset of Smalltalk that can essentially be pretty-printed into C.
Does anyone have any insight into how Galois made the mental leap to his solution? Everything I've read says (or implies) that his solution came completely out of left-field--i.e. it wasn't really related to anything that had come before him.
And along those lines, does anyone know of an English translation of Galois' paper?
One thing that might help is to prioritize "end-to-end", happy-path work highest. Once you've got the bare-bones, end-to-end functionality working, go back and start filling things in.
