Who are "most of us"? People on HN? People who do programming?
I've a professional programmer, but horrible at math. Don't have any formal education and even less education about discrete math. So for me this was educational and I thank the author for putting it down in writing and sharing the knowledge.
I'm sure I'm not alone on HN or in the software industry with this.
I'm also sure I'm sitting on bunch of knowledge you have no idea about, but when others share that, I don't shoot them down for it, I'm happy we're all helping each other understand things.
the article itself is a decent intro explanation. I'm mainly talking about all the comments in this thread getting into monoids and abstract algebra when a sufficient explanation can be found in first-year cs material. it's a consequence of how all_of and any_of relate to each other.
I see. Since you made a top-level comment, it seems you're commenting about the article itself. If you're replying to comments, I suggest you use the reply functionality and it all becomes a little bit clearer for everyone.
I, for one, also like the comments here as they expand and dive into more topics that again, "some of us" have not read/heard about before so grateful for that.
