Amen. Reading the comments from top to bottom, the above is exactly what I wanted to write.
What if there are hidden properties that affect each particle of a pair after they are split, in predetermined ways? that would certainly create correlations that seem to be created on the fly, but they would simply be…
Of course the math check out, they are correct, but in my opinion, time is not a dimension, it's the 'refresh rate' of matter. To me, there are only 3 dimensions, that of space. That does not mean the relativity math is…
> In general, classical correlation cannot break the Bell inequalities [assuming no peeking, ie. no action-at-a-distance in the measurement devices]. What if the particles have properties that mutate their state after…
> Victor can prepare a pair of quantum particles in a special state known as an entangled state. In this state, the outcomes of Alice's and Bob's measurements are not just random but are correlated in a way that defies…
My question for Haskellers is how to do updates of values on a large scale, let's say in a simulation. In imperative languages, the program will have a list of entities, and there will be an update() function for each…
The Settings app is a control panel though.
This story makes me wonder if it's better to use Ada/SPARK than Rust, from a safety perspective.
It's a shame really that Namco didn't want to pay a lot of money for the rights of Ms Pac Man. I don't understand their approach. They clearly have a lot more money in their disposal than AtGames. Why not buy the second…
Requirements always exist in a project, even if they are not written. And how they cannot exist, since the only reason a program is written is because of some need... And since requirements always do exist, they better…
Coding is hard because most APIs suck. Most APIs a) contain many leaky abstractions. b) are unnecessarily complex in order to adhere to a specific ideology. c) have various gotchas, either documented or undocumented. d)…
Why bother? the percentage of users that have JS disabled is what nowadays? 0.000000000001% maybe? even smaller?
Way too many chances for buffer overflows. It is a nice approach to learn how things work, but not a recommended approach for building anything useful.
My idea for C++ memory safety would be compile time reference counting. I.e. the compiler/tool to go through the code, as if it was executing, and apply reference counting to objects, revealing whether an object will be…
My favorite non-X-windows GUI was NeWS. It had some good capabilities not found elsewhere. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NeWS
Nice pattern, but it only solves the problem of having to use a mutex, which is almost never the problem. Deadlocks are way more nastier to handle. In order to solve deadlocks, I created a mutex that first does a try…
For string heavy workload, C is ideal, provided that you don't use C string functions. You can always allocate a very large buffer and do your string operations there, using memncpy and the assorted functions which can…
Sincere question: could it be that the underlying structure of the universe is really simple but since we have no idea what it is we have to use exotic mathematics for it?
In C++, you can have clean code and performance, by utilizing templates. In the example given, all polymorphism can be removed, and the shapes can be stored in std::tuple structure. And then the operations would be…
I believe that is backwards...time changes due to gravity and not vice versa. It's a misunderstanding propagated in the last few years through misconceptions.
Perhaps spacetime curvature is nothing more than the gradual stopping of the universe expanding when mass is present.
Could it be that there is no gravity, and what we perceive as gravity is the pressure from the expanding universe?
The real question is why do we need React, Webpack, Tailwind, sass, jsx, etc. I've been developing web apps for the last few years and I really can't understand why all these are needed. They do not make my life easier…
> about the uniform nature of causality across time and space, for example. Nothing can exist without causality as we know it, i.e. a thing happens which is the cause of another thing that happens. That does not mean…
Absolutely not. It seems too exciting to me and I am eager to see more AI. It's fascinating stuff.
