"Let ε<0." Or a similar but more blatant telling of the original joke would be "Let ℵ₀ be a group."

That's not what they were trying to argue. They were trying to argue that the video of the car leaving as soon as he got out (and him continuing to walk away) proved that he was expecting the car to leave as soon as he got out, therefo

Well, a legal code can both codify discrimination against children in some specific contexts, and broadly ban it in others. (It's true, the term "age discrimination" has been coopted to refer to discrimination against older

The right solution here would be to treat a tab as exactly pi spaces. This, while not forbidding the use of tabs, would guarantee that any inconsistent mixture of tabs and spaces would be considered misaligned.

And yet the Library Genesis mirrors are alive and well. What's the difference? Is it simply the size of the downloads? (Ebooks are only a few megabytes, so a single hobbyist can easily mirror the whole library these days.)

Define "almost no". I mean, they have full measure and I can give countably many explicit examples, what more could you expect?

If it's a random real then the probability is zero. If it's an arbitrarily close approximation to a random real then the probability is arbitrarily close to zero.

Really? Go on, then, pick one and tell us what it is (or at least tell us what your procedure was).

Russia is the acute crisis, and the increasing polarization is the chronic condition which may have partially caused it and might possibly be resolved by it.

That's hardly the same as a guarantee that highly skilled immigrants and their families don't face difficulties and risks in coming to the UK. For example, last time I looked at the UK papers they were full of cases of EU citizens

Well, The Simpsons in 2000 predicted President Trump. And I'm not exactly sure what surprises you about the NSA, I think many civil-liberties groups in 1997 would have been happy to talk your ear off about their (reasonable or unreason

It would be optimistic to count on it, but one of the few ways the US political system could get back on track is through the scale of crisis we may be heading for.

Yes, but bear in mind: * where else will people go? The UK, for example, is also in an anti-immigrant mood. Though Canada may still be good. * the current political climate in the US is ... unstable. It'll be significantly different in

I think you have to say something about the copy semantics too, because if you ignore those, value_ptr would be synonymous with unique_ptr. class Tree { Tree *_left, *_right; }; Tree y = x; makes a shallow copy. class Tree {

Right, but I still don't understand what underutilization problem is solved by property tax that isn't already solved by the fact that you could sell your underutilized land and receive money — unless your goal is to increase util

Lack of property tax doesn't prevent a free market from operating, and ideal free markets cause optimal utilization (which admittedly is not the same as maximal utilization, but then, why would you want the latter?) Now stamp duty, th

I believe in this approach, but making it usable is harder than it sounds. Once I tried watching myself program with this idea in mind. I realized I often start by typing methods which don't yet have a class, code fragments which don&#

Writing "kitty litter/zeolite clay" certainly was bad style — it left ambiguous what the relation between "kitty litter" and "zeolite clay" is, which invited the editor to assume that they were synonyms an

That's because as soon as we leave, we forget about domestic politics in the old country and stop reading those forums. We're too busy whining about domestic politics in the new one and talking about how we're going to leave
