The one true syntax for type definitions is: don't have special syntax for them. Totally unnecessary. A good general syntax can handle them without a special case.

It's because some people don't like s-expressions, so they've been making up a bunch of other stuff.

So you're just going by his reputation? I have read about some of his ideas and formed the opinion that they are bad (apart from the one i mentioned).

OK looking them up. Kripke's wikipedia entry is full of stuff about logic. I don't really have a problem with logicians. I don't think they are in the primary philosophy tradition pg was criticizing (and which I don't like). If he learned s

But he writes nonsense. What did he ever get right? Besides the obvious point that "we learn language by copying sentences" can't explain where new sentences come from.

Your post had no content. It made a bald assertion that ignored what had been said before. I would genuinely like it if you posted some actual content, and I hoped to indirectly encourage you in that direction. The tone is from a book I've

That's wonderful. Perhaps you, as a Wittgenstein buff, would be so kind as to explain how the Wittgenstein quote I gave above, which at first glance appears to be nonsense, is in fact respectable and worthwhile thinking? I don't get it; e

How did his nonsense contribute to other people writing sense? Who was influenced by Wittgenstein then wrote sense?

You're saying Wittgenstein is part of reformed philosophy, not bad philosophy? I don't know about that: http://www.uweb.ucsb.edu/~luke_manning/tractatus/tractatus-j... 1 The world is everything that is the case. * 1.1 The world is the t

Help! My screen is inverted now, but he didn't include an undo command. What do I do!? I already tried cmd-z. Do I have to restart?

You say jsomers is defending analytic philosophy in this section. Later jsomers says philosophy was bad but has reformed. So on the one hand he defends old philosophy. And on the other he claims philosophy was bad, but is OK now because it

The guy says: "The simplest flaw in PG’s account is its scope: it implicates most philosophers up to the present" That's what he's trying to argue with, and that is PG's claim (not that all philosophy is worthless). But then he simply con

How is it well argued? He concedes that pg is right about most philosophy in the conclusion section. He protests, protests, protests, then concedes. lol. His conceding does come with an assertion that philosophy came clean recently, but h

What does that mean?

Claims philosophers do useful stuff but doesn't mention the best example: Karl Popper (who most philosophers don't like because he had the audacity to actually solve a philosophical problem!) Meanwhile, fails to distance himself from Wittge

ruby syntax can be a little confusing. e.g. you can usually leave out parenthesis, but not always , and sometimes you get warnings but it works anyway.

My first day of programming in college I read the syllabus and told the teacher I'd already done everything on it. They let me switch to the next class.

Props on content-limited trial. Time-based trials suck. With time trials, half the time I download it, use it for a day, then want to try it again 3 months later but can't.
