But why use that method when we have editors capable of folding! https://t.co/ruMeG4xKAt https://t.co/Gr7gKu72vt
Remember, code should be written for humans first. Compilers ignore most whitespace. We ought to be writing programs in English.In COBOL line endings are '.' characters because semicolons are for nerds. https://t.co/6ewrxBinmd

So instead of comparing two languages to derive associations, they're tying physical experiences together with statistical models. They're building semantic models of embodied cognition. But they're flailing around competing on who can translate languages. Stop!
Joking about compilers as complex statistical pattern matchers, using my mother tongue. Alluding to it being a complex search problem.https://t.co/e4sWBVSXhI
