There's also thunk/trampolining continuation style to convert recursion easily into something that is not stack limited. http://nathansuniversity.com/cont.html

From a Bohmian perspective, quantum mechanics consists of a wave function psi(q) that guides all the particles Q. The wave function is distinct from the particles. The particles are in equilibrium, relative to the wave function. It is the w

There's also the question of heating up the coffee. Are you disentangling it from the air and entangling it with the hot particles below? It does not make sense to equate equilibrium with entanglement. We have two systems that have bee

I think you are right that that is an issue. But what school does handle that well? Also, the value of Sudbury is community. If someone is in a gang, they already have that (I presume). They do have experience with "troubled" kids

The wikipedia quote is correct. Your assessment seems to be not based on anything. Ask yourself, what is harder to learn: (1) knowing who you are and how to work with others or (2) solving an algebraic equation? They pretty much all learn h

Father of recent 3 year old. Big believer in modeling. I see other parents tell their kids to clean up, put stuff away, etc. I simply embrace cleaning up and my daughter follows suit quite often. We also do whatever we can to enable her to

Both the indirect and incidentally complex can be helped with literate programming. We have been telling stories for thousands of years and the idea of literate programming is to facilitate that. We do not just tell them in a linear order,

I have been using my version of literate programming (markdown compiled with node : https://github.com/jostylr/literate-programming ) for awhile now and I have to agree with him that it does become indispensable. I am a

I have read it and I must have missed the part you refer to. He was a strong proponent of pilot-wave theory though towards the end he also started to like GRW which itself consists of two distinct ontological possibilities. In as much as QM

Tough question. The reason you probably did not understand them is that there are reasons are faulty. The textbook QM says that when experiments happen, the continuous wave function evolution stops and a new wave function is used in its pla

Note local hidden variables is impossible. The pilot wave theory is the theory of "hidden variables" that led Bell to his theorem. Basically, EPR shows that either nature is nonlocal or there were hidden variables. Bell showed t

The old classic literate programming paradigm helps with this. It allows one to write documentation that gives you an overview, provides you with whatever ordering and connections you feel appropriate and, with my implementation of it, even

To appreciate whether callbacks are Goto and what to do about them, it is probably good to read a good perspective on Goto from back in the day: http://cs.sjsu.edu/~mak/CS185C/KnuthStructuredProgrammingGoT... Whe

Have you tried literate programming? It is a way to download your thought process into the "code". Particularly good for those who like to write. An example tool to create it is my own program at https://github.com&#x2F

There is a perfectly good theory which allows one to have electrons just going through one slit at a time. It has a few names: de Broglie-Bohm theory/pilot-wave theory/Bohmian mechanics. The idea is that we have a wave AND a parti

By having the code in a differently ordered way, one can look at the compiled version to see how it flows; we get two views of the code instead of just one. For example, we could use literate program flow to sketch the flow: if ( i&#6

I have recently written a general literate programming environment that one can use to write just about anything: https://github.com/jostylr/literate-programming It also uses markdown and its code conventions. It is still early stages, bu

It is already a great program (CAS, graphing, spreadsheet, soon 3D graphing) for K-14 mathematics exploration on computers. But its move away from Java to html5 and beyond could make it into a superstar in mathematics education. The idea of

Treating trigger points saved me. I had terrible wrist pain and then I read about trigger points. I found some in my upper arms, massaged them out over a few days, and the pain was gone. Look for spots painful under a little pressure, massa

I just recently did something similar: https://github.com/jostylr/cors-lite It was to give a JSON API for http://bootswatch.com It would be easy enough for anyone to host it on something like nodester.com or cloudfoundry.com and have i
