Well that answers it. If I can get the app to work long enough to reach level 5 I'll try that. It's a good thing they decided not to include that information from the start. They wouldn't want people to think there might actu

What you are thinking of is called "ontic" vagueness and runs into it's own set of issues.

There is a difference between saying that "it is 50% true that Sally's hair is red" and "it is true that Sally's hair is 50% red". It isn't a scenario, it's a thought experiment. "given all relev

Is it categories themselves that are arbitrary or the set of items belonging to a category are arbitrary? Do you mean that the meaning of a statement is imprecise in that it is vague or ambiguous? Or do you mean that the way that humans emp

The impulse to develop a system of logic that relies on degrees of truth is one that many people have had over the history of philosophy and I can tell you that it is highly problematic. I am struggling to find a succinct way to explain why

You are conflating probability with truth. A person also may incorrectly classify a collection of grain size n as a heap.

by n0us 10y ago
If a single grain is a heap then any number of grains is a heap and the property of being a heap is meaningless. A single grain as a "small" heap also runs into a problem called higher order vagueness. Where do you draw the line

I wrote my senior thesis on this topic when I was completing my philosophy major. One of the best texts on the subject is "Vagueness" by Williamson. It's an arcane but super interesting topic that actually has wide implicati

Some software does become "yesterday's software." I'm looking at you Cold Fusion, Flash, COBOL, the Abacus. I don't think Rails belongs in this group. I recognize that it's a good framework even if I don't

Completely agree on the early/late Plato stuff. I took a Nietzsche class during my degree. Although he has a reputation as a cliche/hipster philosopher it's really interesting to read his early, middle, and late works just to

Maybe they should have single day "test certs" for which you can issue an unlimited number on a given day for a given domain. Not even completely sure this would work but it might be convenient to have even with the limit increase

Worth noting that you can enable mouse mode which is significantly easier for scrolling. It's also recommended by most people that you remap Caps-Lock to Ctrl and change the activation key from b to a. There are some great themes that

As an informal observation, one of the best parts about older professors was that they avoid the extreme nuance that some of the younger professors and TAs get into. Although that can be interesting also, I feel as if it sometimes misses th

It's comparable to Shekreli (one of their heros) raising the price of that drug and then treating it like a joke. They do things most sane people would never imagine, almost a competition to see who can be the most reckless. So in a se

No, you see "is-bigger-than-5" clearly does 4 different things. You need these modules: module.exports = exec("==="); module.exports = bigger(a, b){return a > b}; module.exports = () => return "than"; mo
