The latex isn't rendering for me. Pasting it into https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/ask is one online solution. In the example, membership in a language already implies existence, doesn't it? So why is

There's certainly phases of progress in particular fields. e.g. in physics, we had relativity and quantum mechanics... and no further revolutions for quite a while. If Einstein's genius made some of it possible... he also didn&#x2

Operational theory of mathematics: you define (invent) some rules, of starting points and ways to change them. Like the rules of a game. In a sense, all possible outcomes already exist (only to be discovered).

I thought working memory (WM) was mostly number of items recalled, and for most people it's 5-7. The actual test they used would benefit from exposure to video games (poverty would affect access): > a screen that displayed one, two,

Modularity by purchase. Information hiding by ownership. Interfaces by corporation. Brooks' software system products (9x the work) is usually done this way in practice . In most usage cases, I would also include open source projects.

Sounds daunting... yet I used to do this in effect, by writing first draft by hand, reading and editing there, and then typing up. Writing by hand, you can also draw arrows for relationships, little diagrams, mini-drafts etc.

It is easy to degrade by editing too. There's a flow that comes with the thought; there's an interchange with the reader that comes with conversation. It is comforting to think we can be geniuses with time and effort. But the geni

I posted that link. My comment was about relative importance.

Not sure how important this is, often not needed if there are tracks etc. It would help, but wouldn't a better sense of smell help more?

IIRC the virus was isolated last year, so wouldn't at least some antibodies have been identified by now? Or, it's just very common to have to start over? Is it unusually difficult for this coronavirus? eg I've heard it's

True, constraints promote creativity, the form of a sonnet or the rules of a fictional world or 8 bit graphics. But in this particular case, they used the new strengths of the device that enabled things not possible before (removing constra

I had italics in vim (TERM was xterm-256color), but not in tmux (TERM was screen). Added this to ~/.tmux.conf and it works: set -g default-terminal "xterm-256color" BTW it matters to me when using vim as a markdown vi

But Boyer-Moore is so pretty! abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz If the 26th char isn't z , jump along 26 chars! (More complex, and more cache misses, if z is repeated in the search string).

A grocer is a dictatorship. I make sense of inexplicable government slowness as: avoiding panic (worse than a pandemic), yet OTOH most people needing tangible evidence before they'll take it seriously.
