This reminds me of the Chinese Room argument. Basically, it goes like that: I never took any Chinese lesson. However, suppose I obtain a huge instruction manual that tells me exactly which sequence of Chinese characters I should use to repl

Tarots, the I Ching etc. can guide creativity. Not because they are magic in any way; it's just that their rulesets act as a framework for thought processes. See: The Man in the High Castle (PKD wrote it by using the I Ching) and The C

Ok, now I see your point. It seems you're advocating for intuititionistic logic: you only consider a proposition "true" if you can build a proof for it. Classical logics (and, therefore, classical mathematics) assumes that it

The propositions themselves are not inaccessible, but there is no way to automate the process of testing their truthiness in a way that always works. That is the usual menaning of undecidability .

OP: I don't know if you already know it, but there is a huge homebrew tabs community around the Rocksmith "video game". (Try looking for CustomsForge). If you find a way to support their format, you might gain access to a hug

The flags you talk about are mostly about the presentation of the output. The, shall we say, "business logic" of `ls` is still pretty bare-bones. That could be one way to draw a line. Also, I think these presentation/format

I think RSS are the wrong starting point for such a task. They may syndicate limited content, may contain ads, etc. So I guess you want to collate the posts rather than the feed entries themselves. Personally, I "solved" a simil

What happens "regularly" is irrelevant, given the extraordinary circumstances. And it's not a matter of "overturning" the referendum -- Parliament could just pass a new Brexit deal and reopen negotiations. If BoJo w

It is quite hard to explain. I'll try to sum it up (partially, I guess) in a few bullet points: * Italian economy favors small and medium-sized enterprises over big corporations. This has worked alright for some industries (e.g. automo

Olivetti, in general, is such a tragic story for any Italian tech enthusiast. In many ways they were the original Apple: focusing on aesthetics, design and usability; turning a pretty unsexy commodity such as the typewriter into a luxury go

What do you mean by "it always terminates by design?" However, as the comments to the post say, the author should provide a proof that the "game physics" allows to construct a functioning latch from these logic gates. Co

I don't have a clear answer to that, but I don't find it hard to believe. Lots of plants and fruits were brought from the Far East to Europe in ancient or medieval times: for instance, oranges and peaches originated in China. Ther
