@dsquareddigest If the event is truly singular, whether or not probability is well defined, the claim of 50/50 is *not falsifiable*. But that’s not the same thing as “true”.

@berkulsoy_tr @GergelyOrosz No need to bring AI into it, though; this problem long predates the current hype cycle. Developers tend look at the world through the "code is what matters" lens, and ignore the world it is connected to.

@tagir_valeev Sounds like a temporal fracture. Stay in your era!

@headinthebox The zeal of the converted

@venkat_s Having a special: free bridge with every law center.

@tagir_valeev @sampullara “Playing on easy mode”

@sampullara I learned that from a professor who promised to take no more than that for his lecture

@sampullara Most useful quick-calc facts I find myself using: - A gallon of most liquids weighs about 8lb - A cubic foot of most liquids weighs about 64lb - A cubic foot of dense stone like granite weighs about 200lb Together these are super helpful in estimating weight of things.

@AndrewCMyers Not only that, but in some ways are measurably worse than the email clients of the 90s.

@joelgrus @JohnDCook @tdhopper This has been the story of secondary-school computing education since time immemorial, for all sorts of silly but real structural reasons.

@headinthebox Counterpoint: if I were on that team for a year, I would unquestionably be the guy at the bottom who got fired, but I would have gotten to work with these people for a year, and it would probably have been the best experience of my career. So, this milk will take that deal!

@headinthebox I think this comparison is unfair to Jack Welch. Undead zombie corpse might be more accurate than reincarnation?

@jasperpotts @richardbair Yes. Value classes are regular classes with a few restrictions: no mutable fields, no synchronized methods, some limits on your supertype. But the restrictions are few.

@grashalm_ @shipilev I'm still of mixed mind on quality; its rigidity makes it seem more designed to be a puzzle within a puzzle than a tool for better building megafactories. I especially dislike that you can't use higher quality goods as lower quality, and that you can't handcraft in quality.

RT @BrianGoetz: Heading over to , find me there!

@GergelyOrosz @ThePrimeagen If there's a number perceived to be a score, at internet scale, _someone_ will try and cheat it, if only for the lulz.

@headius And somewhere in that forest, is a farm shaped like Minnesota? And on that farm, there's a dog who has a spot the shape of Minnesota? Tell us where it ends!
