   First of all, I would make sure that it would not be swapping constantly when running on eight megabytes !

   > enough of these people There’s more than enough already. (And, historically, you only need less than a dozen.)

   I guess I’ll just wait for Sabine to say something about this.

   Just recently I used '~' in the remote target path in the scp command, and, somewhat unexpectedly, it created the directory with that name and put the files there.

   > maybe the right thing happened Absolutely. I would have hated to see things like set x [ expr $y + $z ] all over the place. (As a command language, this is not so bad.)

   One way to get a sense of coroutines is to consider the behavior presented by the async/await design pattern [1], where 'await' suspends the execution of the currently running code and yields control to the 'async'

   There's also a high-quality, sophisticated Threading Building Blocks by Intel (which I wish would become a part of the C++ standard library). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Threading_Building_Blocks

   > classical intuition I am not sure if the modern mix of group theory and differential geometry which forms the foundation of theoretical physics today can qualify as such, even though the word "geometry" does bring the expec

    It is true, but also kind of trivial. More subtly, one can say that we tend to call what is real using the same words that we use for mathematical objects that model them.

    "It's very frustrating. The idea that Earth revolves around the Sun is nonsensical. I don't understand why so many astronomers keep saying that."

    But - again - that is a mathematical construction, which a physical particle is not.

    Point being, using a different programming language is going to change that?

    So… the implementation in C is… slow and unsafe? > these decoders are a dangerous source of bugs Hm… I thought code in any language could be such “source.”

    Well, I guess, that's a risk one has to take.

    I think everyone already knows some math before they start reading books on it.

    On foundations we believe in the reality of mathematics, but of course, when philosophers attack us with their paradoxes, we rush to hide behind formalism and say 'mathematics is just a combination of meaningless symbols,'... Fin

    I think it's quite natural to ask oneself how far one can go applying the same method that is used for solving the equation x² = 4.

    Interesting... This ε-δ stuff is needed when you talk about functions, but when you start instead with the limits of numeric sequences, which are easy to grasp, the function limits come easy as well, because of the analogy between the ways

    But, in practice, how often do we ask a tensor to consume a vector?

    > something that transforms Well, they don't, it is their components that do (under a change of the coordinate system).
