In higher math, sum and product don't necessarily have anything to do with the sum and product we know, but are just operations with certain properties.

In this case, a product is just a collection of multiple types, e.g. a tuple. An example would be a pair of index (integer) and value (e.g. a string) when iterating over a list.

A sum on the other hand is more of an or. In many languages, this is called something like an enum. If for example, your program should support both integers and floating point numbers, you would need the sum type int | float.

That's why I differentiate between publicly traded and privately owned companies. In the former, if the CEO's ethics are stopping profits, they get kicked out. In the latter, if the CEO/owner happens to be a nice guy, it can have an impact on the company as a whole.

For that, you need Hilbert spaces, linear operators on them, a little spectral theory, ...

Many people are trying to give a definitive answer, and there are good theories, but honestly, it is still very much an open question. There are multiple interpretations and as people tend to do in popular science, some spread their opinion as a fact, but we don't have one correct answer.

Everyone always says how great and optimized etc the game is, but for me, I had glitches every few minutes with crashes every few hours. Maybe the multiplayer is worse, but how I experienced the game, it was far from being ready to ship.

The only thing I quickly found is this paper, which says that learning multiple things is not better nor worse than one thing at a time, but it also states in the abstract that cognitive psychologists believed up to that point that mixing multiple topics is beneficial.

That is actually not backed by science. Mixing material is a lot more effective than focusing on one thing.

Obviously, the apartment with the Confederate flag has a swastika inside.

Yeah, you're technically right, but everyone just fully associates Pokémon with Nintendo.

Most of the time? Doesn't it mainly lag when moving to a different region? It also looks really good.

Well, except Pokémon. But we don't talk about Pokémon.
