Oxford dictionary is not a primary source, and if I'm not mistaken, they subscribe to the descriptive persuasion, i.e. collecting lexemes as they are in use, especially the online …

You double checked second hand sources which don't link to primary sources, so at best you are speculating (that) I were wrong, thank you very much. Edit: And either way, I didn't …

Stress being on where - and not only but also on when. Due is from times when French was hip and foxy at the court royal. I'm sure you can tell many first hand tales about that. Wh…

I wouldn't be so sure. "To make due" seems correct to me, as a foreign speaker, because the grammar suggests a noun phrase as object, because it works en lieu "to settle debt". It'…

yeah, and if you don't like the law [1], you can leave the country, except that there's no where to go. People are basically telling each other to kill themselves. It's really sad.…

I don't know, but constant as a function return value signature does not make much sense at all.

The pretentiousness in your comment is mind bending. GTFO

Addendum: The set of cuts would then include all points of the 2D-surface. So in principle, as the number of cuts approaches real infinity (pun intended; if you might call it that)…

I don't know either, but I read on HN some time ago that the size of a CD were comparable to ... I don't even know, a human genome. So, assuming that's a lower bound, 1% of 600MB i…

2^42 is a number so large, it seems highly unlikely. The world population today is only 2^33. There might be - must be - multiple paths leading to the same person, for many persons…

If you take a pragmatic stance and consider only what you can measure, then the observable universe is certainly limited. And the rest is, as you pointed out, a matter of semantics…

Wouldn't you get aleph_1 divisions, if, by methods left as exercise to the reader, making a cut for each real number? For example, how many angles are there in a circle? But the re…
