There is, again, principles from real philosophy, which state that there is and always will be a principal gap between an observation (and language) based model and What Is. The classic example is inability to tell why the sun will rise tom

There is no science without reproducability. Merely stories, or formalized stories people call models.

Unnecessary, redundant abstractions to impress other people is what plagued Haskell libraries and therefore the whole ecosystem. Language itself is a miracle of software engineering, and GHC and cabal are decent.

Well, this could be explained in a few meta-principles or just principles of a proper (non-abstract) philosophy. 1. A map is not a territory. Weighted connections are not semantic relations. 2. Environment and its laws and constraints comes

The most deadly sin with Haskell is introducing unnecessary redundant abstractions to impress other people. Imagine aircraft engineers will do that. Up to (but not including) NonEmpty lists everything was fine.

Though experiments are flawed in a way that a untyped logical statements may be - they mix and match abstract concepts with "concrete" ones so to speak. It is just a type error as multiplying birds by trees. Everything which follo

Where is time in this setting? Synchronization of wave length does not involve time. The device is made according the abstract, derived notion of time, same as it used the notion of a number. Nature does not posses any numbers, however. Min

What does it have to do with time? Observable distortion of trajectories of photons by a massive body does not involve any time.

> meaning of “non-interpreted” Literally. Not being interpreted to support or confirm a current theory. The abstract system of two clocks and an observer is just nonsense, since the first time it was introduced by Einstein. Abstractions

Could any downvoters please provide information about any actual experiment which proves existence of space-time being of different kind than existence of a number. Also it would be nice to see any non-interpreted physical processes which i

This is even more relevant after 30 years. The Data Dominates principle is the key, everything else just follow, including n are usually small and preference for simple algorithms. Nowadays we have exactly the opposite, which is understanda

Bayesians is a textbook example of a sect. This is just an abstract framework superimposed on some aspects of reality and has nothing to do with its processes. Let me repeat: a superimposed set of abstractions. Nothing more.

To paraphrase: unnecessary, redundant abstractions is the root of all evil. At least this is what plagued Haskell libraries - unnecessary abstract bullshit in dependencies. Cabal works fine without any of those.

Okay, let's state it differently. The problem with so called peer-reviewed abstract "sciences" is the same as with theology and any sectarian movement - that reviewers are from the same sect and praise effort instead of refut

Fuck no. DNA cannot suggest any fucking voyage, especially in time. This kind of bullshit is an insult to intelligence and to the very principles of science.

The "science" of mask wearing is plagued by redundant and irrelevant abstract mathematical concepts. A mask is a membrane (not perfect, of course) and this is how it must be properly modelled. It is that simple - just use proper (

So, writing rfcs, standards, articles and Usenet (boomer's tech, you know) was not that bad after all? The absurdity of synchronous realtime communication is most evident when taking to an extreme of online coding. Nothing but crap is

By restricting a form of expression you ruin the art of communication.

Boy, I love this stuff. Two subtle but necessary and principal clarifications. 1. A reference is not "from that time on". The notion of time must be irrelevant here. The reference is immutable until the process (scope) ends, not i

Well, as you might know, there is a classic talk on YouTube in which SPJ half-jokes about religious zeal of purity in Haskell, to avoid "sins" of side effects as only religions purists might do. It is actually very clever and even

Switching to a safe language is, obviously, not an option. However, it is possible, especially with resources of Google and other C++ shops to develop an advanced lint, which could be just a ripoff of compile time borrow checking from Rust

A messy pile of unnecessary, redundant abstractions which "solves" nonexistent problem. Stable interfaces (the main principle behind literally everything in nature) and semantic versioning will do the job. systemd-like cancer. And

So, we like to have some clickbait on the front row? Ok. I have a few more. PHP: it is OK to be a bit shitty. Javascript: It is OK for your type system to be a bit shitty. Javascript: It is OK for your semantic consistency to be a bit shitt

This is actually quite common situation and it seems that the major cause is that tech is now saturated with "normies" (liberal arts college dropouts, SJW schizoids, etc) instead of math or biology majors like it used to be at the
