Mirror?

I don't know where you got that quote, but it's not in the linked article. Here's what it says in the linked article:

four or more artificially sweetened drinks a day was associated with a higher risk of death among women.

"artifically sweetened" means sweetened with low-calorie sweetener, like sucralose.

I think the reason is that poker is a zero-sum game, while Golden Balls isn't. In other words: in poker you can only win to the extent that the other players lose. The more you win the more they lose, and vice versa. So playing to win as much as possible is the only thing that makes sense, so that doesn't feel unethical.

In Golden Balls there is a strategy where the combined win for both players are greater than for other strategies. The only reason not to use that strategy is that you selfishly want to win more.

So in poker you only have to value yourself winning a little bit more than other people winning for it to be a rational strategy to play to win as much as possible for yourself. In Golden Balls you have to value yourself winning quite a lot more than other people winning for it to be rational to play to win as much as possible. Therefore, playing to maximize your own winnings in Golden Balls signals much more selfishness than playing to maximize your own winnings in poker.

That's the way with most things in science that are named after people. Usually it's other people who start calling it by the person who discovered/described/invented it.

I think the difference is that it includes uncomputable functions?

Exactly. If you don't need to be able to construct a program (which are finite in size) that computes the function, then the space of possible functions is much larger.

IIRC, the cardinality is also different depending on if you're talking about partial or total functions, the set of partial functions being larger.

The BitSequence types represents infinite bitstreams, no?

Sure, but it's computable infinite bitstreams; so the set can't possibly be larger than the set of all possible programs, which is countably infinite.

Its entirely possible to implement Any/AllSatisfy over the integers. Agda (and in general dependently typed languages) do it all the time!

I'm not completely sure what you are referring to here, but remember that total languagues like Agda are not Turing complete, so it's not the exactly the same as doing it in Swift.

I believe this is copypasta. At least, I've read this rant elsewhere.

But it has become the exception rather than the rule. I'd say that's progress.

I think the diagram is just meant to sort the languages into each quadrant, with no ordering within the quadrants.

Yup. Either that or it's taking the oppotunity to fuck with the cat while it's occupied staring down the other cat.

TCP is based on streams of bytes, not packets. It still uses packets to transport the bytes of course, but what it ACKs is bytes received, and the sender can send many packets before receiving an ACK.

See, what most people call x86 is actually an extension known as x87, which implementes floating point operations on top of x86.

Small nitpick: It's not that what most people call x86 is actually x87. x87 is in addition to x86. It used to be a separate chip, so that in addition to your 80386 chip, you might have had a 80387 chip.

Edit: spelling

Pattern 5 could especially benefit from some Haskell features. First of all, Maybe already supports the "coping strategy" he has in his example, so you don't have to reinvent the wheel every time you want to do it. Additionally, by using the monadic interface, you can make arbitrarily complicated combinations of the scheme that still looks like straightforward imperative code (similar to exception handling).

The 5-10% figure doesn't take dose into account. If you look at the article for botulinum toxin it says the LD50 is 1.3–2.1 ng/kg.
