@krinkle met him a few times in my life. Not only an amazing researcher, but a great person. After Wirth passed away 2 years ago, the next big loss for computer science.

@eloquence I am very impressed with the Godot engine quality, though I have experienced a single crash and some intermittent strangeness with the volume controls. The game itself feels very unbalanced, inconsistent and the number of options are a bit overwhelming - feels more like StS1 with tons of mods installed. Sometimes less is more.

@wilfredh for me they are two very different things. := is assignment in an imperative programming language, leading to a state change. Let is the declaration of an equivalent name of an expression in a functional programming language.

@warandpeas I had somehow expected the classic Waka Waka Bang Splat, a very old internet classic: https://spot.colorado.edu/~sniderc/poetry/wakawaka.html

@lritter So, once you have an SCC, you are looking for all circular orders within it. Correct?
I am wondering if this could be computed as possible side-effect while the algo traverses the tree.

@lritter AFAIK, you build the strongly connected components with an algorithm like Tarjan, which gives you the topological tree of cycles as a byproduct. Tarjan is one of the most beautiful Algos out there. 😍

@mhoye @jonathankoren can absolutely relate. Constantly trying convince my quantitative colleagues that discrete maths is different from their stochastic and AI based reasoning.
