Fair enough! I'll admit, there are a number of somewhat unwieldy idioms in philosophy, but I think in a lot of cases they do serve to pick out a distinct notion. For what it's worth, in the expression "to think that p",

You’ve probably noticed this effect in the real world. Suppose you’re at a restaurant waiting for your meal to arrive. You don’t know exactly how long it will take, but you have some reasonable bounds (say, more than 10 minutes but less tha

I was also going to suggest this, although there are a few things about the UI that I don't love - e.g., it takes 5 'tab' keystrokes to get from a note title to the note body. On that note (no pun intended), I do wish it was

Yes! I'm working through the Design of Computer Programs on Udacity, which he teaches, and it's so enlightening to hear how he thinks through the conceptual framework of a program and see the code he comes up with to implement it.

I’ve worked in kitchens, and this characterization favors my experience much more closely than does the author’s. In a kitchen, mistakes are costly; imagine that you have one chance to compile your code, and if it doesn’t compile, then you

Maybe we could instead say, "web color is still not perfect". Nature is a wild animal and even getting computers to simulate natural color at all is a feat. Want to see real color? Get out of the fucking building.

Forgive my ignorance (and there's a lot of it), but navigating a graph and setting permissions doesn't seem like a terribly difficult problem, especially for Google - the king of graphs, in a word. I would think maybe the issue ha

I don't think my response will be much appreciated here, but you'll get a great deal more insight into your question by taking 5g psilocybe mushrooms or 600mcg of LSD [1] than from any comment in this thread. [1] These are fairly

This seems problematic. "Given the right context" a lot of words could be synonyms. It seems like it's implicit in the meaning of "synonymous" that two words share the same meaning if they're interchangeable

Just because a word doesn't have a 1-to-1 correlation with a word in another language doesn't mean it's not translatable; in fact, this website shows that they are translatable. Even more, it's not analytically true th
