What kind of IDE support do you typically use that isn't handled by a modern text editor (such as go to definition, variable renaming, find and replace, etc)? I'm starting to use CLion for my C++ work now, because "go to defi

True. It can be very frustrating for people when their "fuzzy-logic" (for lack of a better word coming to mind) is not accepted as a proof and they don't see how it isn't iron-clad. Fuzzy-logic gets us through most of ev

I think this is answered in the first paragraph. The author is clearly giving an answer to "what is the point of learning mathematics?” There is nothing in the question or answer that implies non-mathematicians can't have these ch

I strongly disagree with the claim that philosophers fit this description. As a mathematician, it often seems to me that 90% of philosophy is spent arguing about things with extremely loose definitions. As a result, you can argue from the s

I didn't like this tutorial. I don't think that using Lisp clarifies what is going on. They claim to show how numbers are created in lambda calculus, by defining some lisp functions that call take a function and call it on itself
