Honda's pioneering papers on session types (and on everything else for that matter) are always worth reading. Yes, replicated input is !x(v1).P in pi-calculus, and Milner was directly inspired by linear logic's replication. > S

Is this irrational from the POV of an individual? Learning a complex tool is quite an effort. In the same time one could develop one's own tool that's likely more fine-tuned to the tasks at hand. Moreover, if one's tool acqui

Could you sketch how, so we can think about countermeasures?

Although this proof, it can be found in [1], is subject to the constraints that Goedel's 2nd theorem enforces: the proof uses a stronger logic that HOL itself. In this case it uses a large cardinal axiom. [1] J. Harrison, Towards self-

You can define induction, but you can't prove it, you need to introduce it as an assumption. That's inconvenient.

It's quite easy to get extremely slow type inference in expressive typing systems. This code let f0 = fun x -> ( x, x ) in let f1 = fun y -> f0( f0 y ) in let f2 = fun y -> f1( f1 y ) in let f3 = fun y -> f2( f2 y ) in le

In order to understand quantum mechanics, the foundation of modern chemistry, properly, don't you need a strong appreciation of calculus?

In what sense is the fundamental theory of algebra (FTA) a theorem of linear algebra? It's rarely proven in linear algebra courses. Most proofs of the FTA involve concepts from the analytical side of mathematics.

That's really interesting. I know little / nothing about the economics of large scale maritime transport. Could you point me towards some reading material on this subject?

Steve, what's the reason that Rust doesn't have HKTs (higher-kinded types). Is there a technical barrier, e.g. to do with life-time inference, or is it a philosophical choice not to have them?

Krugman's article like everything he writes is not insightful. Wages are no per-se too high or too low, but rather relative to wage levels of competitors and desirability of produced goods. Germany competes in a global market and in th

Germany deviates from the European norm by having products on offer that are globally competitive. What a crime. Let's make Europe more stable by turning every country into Greece!

You conventiently forget to point out clearly that the Troika and Germany have give Greece extremely large amount of money for free. The bailouts for (mainly French) banks was free money for Greece. What the new governent is trying to do is

Somebody should ask Paul Krugman the following question: why not ask the US government (or indeed any other) to lend Greece lot's of money. He only ever seems to ask Germany to do so, despite Germany having already lost billions and bi

I didn't say it wasn't useful. It is. But it's checking essentially a sequential property: a sequential actor is using a channel in a consistent way. What e.g. the session type community is aiming at are properties of concurr

by mafribe 12y ago
From a superficial reading I think what they are doing is quite simplistic. Basically they want to provide typed channels, e.g. ActorRef[T] that only accepts T messages. That's the easy part. What you really want is something like type

Thank you Karunamon. The fact that GGers who inquire into Silicon Valley power structures get demonised while anti-GGers get celebrated shows that distribution of power, and gives indirect evidence that the GGers are onto something that tho

Who were Anita Sarkeesian and Felicia Day doxxed by? Maybe they did it themselves, or their friends did it. Have you got any evidence at all that this is not what happened. After all damseling-in-distress is very lucrative these days. Edit:
