Dijkstra was interested in defining program semantics using predicate transformers. It’s rather difficult to define useful semantics that way when unrestricted goto is available, so he preferred to avoid the difficulties it creates. It’s im

I don't think the term "gay" is particularly well defined for amphibians. Frogs do change sex though[1]. Whether or not exposure to exogenous estrogenic compounds triggers that I do not know. [1] https://www.nation

As an aside there are real gravimeters that aren’t scales and they are sensitive enough to detect a person walking around the room they are in and snow accumulating on that building’s roof. Yes that’s right they detect the gravitational for

This[1] contains an explanation of his proof format. More generally many of the later monographs from that archive have interesting proofs. Also the book Predicate Calculus and Program Semantics is chock full of proofs. [1] https:/&#x

Anyone who wants to learn more about the calculational proof style as it applies to computing science would do very well to read Dijkstra.

Japan also has virtually no immigration and a low birth rate, so the demand side of the equation keeps housing affordable, relatively speaking.

The Fed has two official goals: low inflation and full employment. It also has an existential goal that few people think about who aren’t deep into finance: maintain the integrity of the payment system. That 0th commandment as it were will

Just try imagining how, if you were the Chinese government, you might use Tik-Tok to influence and undermine American support for militarily defending Taiwan. This isn't hard it's obviously a powerful tool. Just how powerful remai

Eye for an eye connotes, if not denotes, proportionate justice. International relations, childish propaganda notwithstanding, is not at all about justice. Tit for tat on the other hand is specifically a game theory term as used here, and it

What's being described isn't an eye for an eye, but tit for tat. And tit for tat is the norm for international relations and has been since time immemorial. Usually it's relatively dull stuff, like if country A requires citiz

This goes to show just how much slower software has gotten, and how much poor, abysmal even, performance is now ingrained in programming culture.

Funny how Caesar is on the approved list. In fact so is Hannibal! Napoleon is the only world famous conqueror who doesn’t make the cut that I could find in a brief search.

Especially when the other guy “lives in a reality” where he thinks violently victimizing you is fine. It’s almost as if we need some way to separate from such people.

My read of "safety" is that the proponents of "safety" consider "safe" to be their having a monopoly on control and keeping control out of the hands of those they disapprove of. I don't think whatever ideo
