This has nothing to do with Gödel's incompleteness theorem. It's much simpler than that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wittgenstein_on_Rules_and_Priv...

Your analogy doesn't make sense because Verizon doesn't select which calls you receive. A phone company that drops any calls (positive or negative) is just defective. Facebook alwa…

Would you feel the same way if a grocery store played a sad song when you were depressed?

I was considering phrasing my comment as "conversations between stoned philosophy students", so yes, that sounds about right. Not to mention the fact that a philosophy course about…

This is utter nonsense. García Márquez wrote some of the most compelling and beautiful stories of the 20th century. Borges wrote the literary equivalent of late night stoner conver…

Please don't use this. It doesn't do anything you can't do with the default go tools, and it doesn't follow the standard project organization. He even links to the guide that tells…

Even if it's consistent within files, you can still run into big problems. If the different macros supply slightly different functionality, you could end up in a situation where yo…

> It really depends which audience this article is targetting... I disagree. Low quality articles like this are part of the reason why many undergrads are full of strongly held opi…

This is a low quality article from someone who, given his qualifications, should know better. The criticisms of functional programming languages range from trivially true (you can'…

jsgrep looks very neat as well. I like the patch syntax. However, I don't think this example is quite equivalent. In the grasp example, it replaces every binary operator, not just …

Perhaps I'm being overly pedantic, but in my mind "showed" and "appeared to show" mean very different things.

You're right, that's a much better article.

As a response to your edit, no it doesn't. So what? If you can infinitely divide space in the manner of Zeno's paradox, then the sum is well defined and easy to do. If you can't, t…

You are assuming more about the Planck units than is currently known. Directly from wikipedia: "There is currently no directly proven physical significance of the Planck length; it…

Calculus is a tool for reasoning about exactly this kind of thing. If you think there is an actual paradox present, please explain what it is.

"He did this by setting up a series of paradoxes that showed, among other things, that half a given span of time is equal to twice that given span of time, that time and space are …

This article is very low quality. The account of Zeno's paradox is wrong on pretty much every count, which makes it hard to trust anything else the article claims.

That's not true though. Zeno's paradoxes are all pretty easy to resolve using first-year calculus. They certainly don't prove that time or space is discontinuous.

I think you missed the point of the "Find PI to the Nth Digit" exercise. You aren't generating pi, you're just using a pre-computed value.

"like a dorm now" This person is exactly right. That's what happens when you house 400 university students together. I don't see how this has anything to do with them being Google …

We can't talk about them freely. It requires a leak before we're even aware of them.

Could you suggest any resource for understanding this theorem? I have a math degree, but I never came across any Galois theory.

What a pointless complaint. Literally none of those things are real issues. Use the language for a day and it'll all be second nature.

Thanks for confirming this. It is very sad news.

Is there any source for this other then the wikipedia page?
