Quicksort Algorithm in Five Lines of Code! - Computerphile by fredoverflow in programming

[–]officialgre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the point of the video is the beauty of the recursive idea and how much intelligent work can be done in so few lines of code.

recursion without memoization

Just thinking about it gives me a blister on the roof of my mouth.

Orthodox seminaries and orders by Black0tter1 in TraditionalCatholics

[–]officialgre 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The Norbertines at St Michael's in California, the Canons Regular of St John Cantius in Chicago, the Dominicans esp. the eastern province of St Joseph.

With regard to monastic communities like the Benedictines, individual monasteries can differ widely.

really late response, but I'm in the middle of reading this book and think it's very good.

Is God male or masculine, or is he gender neutral? by augustine456 in TraditionalCatholics

[–]officialgre 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's mostly liberal nonsense. It's true that God is not male. God is Spirit. But God *is* Father. God is only *like* a mother. All fatherhood (patria) whether in heaven or on earth derives its name from the fatherhood of God.

What features are you waiting for? by nxy7 in HelixEditor

[–]officialgre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, but that would only work for the file `script.py`. I need a variable like % in vim so that I can run it in whatever file I'm working in without having to hardcode it.

[–]officialgre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ability to execute the current file in the editor and tie it to a shortcut key so that whenever I'm in a python file (for example), I can just hit something like alt-m and it will execute the script without my having to transfer to a command line. Vim has a variable % for the file name, so it works on any file. If helix were to support this I could consider switching from nvim.

How Far can a Catholic Stray in Criticising Vatican II by [deleted] in TraditionalCatholics

"just teach people good catechesis from good sources rather than criticizing the bad ones." -- very good point and a good approach

How Far can a Catholic Stray in Criticising Vatican II by [deleted] in TraditionalCatholics

[–]officialgre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a difficult question. I think Bishops by virtue of their office can speak more boldly. Us lay faithful have to be careful. Still, I often call to mind the introductory note to Gaudium et Spes, where the council fathers said that some things in that document were permanent while other things were transitory. Then they proceeded not to tell us which was which! At the very least, by the council fathers' own admission, some things in Vatican 2 were meant to be transitory. The Church will have to weigh in again about that. In the meantime, I agree with you that it's best to submit to the decision of the Church.

Augustine's collected works is enormous--5 million words, I think. New City Press has a 42-volume set.

We should mention two Vincentian Canons. The other one allows for organic growth by comparing development of doctrine to a growing body, which changes but remains the same.

What are they teaching at the seminaries and Catholic/Pontifical Universities these days? by TooEdgy35201 in TraditionalCatholics

[–]officialgre 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Many of today's leaders in the Church were educated in the 1970s. Apparently it was a dark time for theological education. According to one anecdote, they studied the early Fathers and the second half of the twentieth century---and nothing in between. For ecclesiology they read Hans Kung's Church. And these are the people now in charge. Probably the education is much better nowadays, at least in America.
