I can sorta see that. An exit code is an exit code. But exit codes, like words, have meanings. Sometimes that meaning is a boolean value, as is the case in e.g. GNU Coreutils conditions: https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/coreutils.html#Conditions
Yes, it is used consistently in GNU Coreutils: https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/coreutils.html#Conditions
false: do nothing, unsuccessfully (returns 1)
true: do nothing, successfully (returns 0)
test: check file types and compare values is documented as “returns a status of 0 (true) or 1 (false)”
What you’re saying is irrelevant. In the real world, when an exit code is a boolean, 0 is true.
Every time an exit code is a boolean, 0 is true. Shell scripting would be very annoying if this were inconsistent
Not quadratic in the length of the input. Assuming replace is linear this is also linear
There are non-standard models of arithmetic. They follow the original first-order Peano axioms and any theorem about the naturals is true for them, but they have some wacky extra stuff in them like you mention.

If you mostly play Souls games, I have to lean towards E33 due to the real-time parry mechanic. Both games are amazing and you won’t regret playing either.
Which is really a roundabout way of saying a tensor is a multilinear relationship between arbitrary products of vectors and covectors. They’re inherently geometric objects that don’t depend on a choice of coordinate system. The box of numbers is just one way of looking at a tensor, like a matrix is to a linear transformation on a vector space
I’ve been using a reverse proxy on a Hetzner VPS pointing at my home plex server for years without issue. Maybe this only applies to people running the actual Plex software on a Hetzner VPS?

What I described isn’t necessarily functional. This is just a principle for ensuring objects represent clear and well-defined contracts. The idea is that to mutate something, you should own it; that means interfaces / public APIs, which can be called externally, should take immutable arguments. You can still mutate instance members internally because those are owned by the instance. If mutation is really necessary between two objects then it should be coordinated by an object owning them both.
That’s a footgun sure but at least you can avoid it once you’re aware of the problem.
I never write function signatures with mutable interfaces. It’s always IEnumerable, IReadOnlyCollection, or IReadOnlyList; otherwise, use a concrete type. The latter is typical for private/protected methods that are called with instance members of a concrete type rather than public interfaces. If you want to mutate an object, you should own it. Public methods are invoked with data not owned by the instance.
For example, a lot of extension methods in LINQ have a signature IEnumerable<T> --> IEnumerable<T>, and internally the first thing they do is call .ToList(). The interface makes minimal assumptions about the input data, then puts it into a concrete type you can manipulate efficiently. You can similarly define a method for IReadOnlyList and explicitly make it mutable via .ToList(), rather than use IList and check .IsReadOnly. Both ensure correctness but the former does it at the type level, at design time, instead of relying on runtime checks.
C# is old and full of oldness. But it’s also an excellent language that can be written beautifully if you know how. And there’s lots of great code to learn from in the open-source dotnet core runtime repo and related projects.
Somebody, sure. There’s advertisers on porn sites. Just not the same ones on all the other sites, and they don’t pay the same. It’s a different market. Any company for whom all-ages content is a significant part of their product is gonna want the non-porn advertisers
Those ideas don’t really solve this problem though. Advertisers and payment processors would just not service these “adult content” sites. So all the popular sites wouldn’t allow adult content.
In the context of differential forms, an integral expression isn’t complete without an integral symbol and a differential form to be integrated.
The mathematician also used “operative” instead of, uh, something else, and “associative” instead of “commutative”
I dunno if you’re joking, but yeah there’s IDE plugins that do this. GitHub Copilot grabs context from files in your edit history and you can tell it to edit, refactor, “fix” etc. selections. The more complex actions, the less likely to succeed, though.
Highly effective unless the universe really does revolve around you.
