Some analysts seem to suggest that the things she said were bad.

But they're not.

They're a rare example of someone with some power saying cool honest stuff that comes across their mind.

Unlike the endless mandatory corporate bullshit we usually get otherwise.

Ciro Santilli thinks imperative programming is just a superset of functional programming where you can have state.

C and C++: OK, you're old before the Internet and compiled, forgiven.

Python: OMG, please, just make it work!!! Your are interpreted!!! You are a hot web technology!!! Node.js and Ruby are doing just fine, and Ruby is not newer than you!!! See also: pip.

Lists:

Saves preprocessor output and generated assembly to separate files.

The GAN paper itself does a bit of this, cool hello world:

This was the Holy Grail as of 2023, when text-to-image started to really take off, but text-to-video was miles behind.

This is the most important thing to understand Git!

You must:

Every tree is a directed acyclic graph.

But not every directed acyclic graph is a tree.

Example of a tree (and therefore also a DAG):Convention in this presentation: arrows implicitly point up, just like in a git log, i.e.:and so on.

Example of a DAG that is not a tree:This is not a tree because there are two ways to reach 7:

But we often say "tree" intead of "DAG" in the context of Git because DAG sounds ugly.

Example of a graph that is not a DAG:This one is not acyclic because there is a cycle 2, 3, 4, 5, 2.

Because a Git commit can have more than 1 parent due to merge commits when you do:

It can even have more than 2, there's no limit. Although that is not so common (with good reason, 2 is already one too many): softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/314215/can-a-git-commit-have-more-than-2-parents/377903#377903
