Philosophy only enters into it when you are considering which axioms to take.

I agree that by the time you start assuming ZFC, you're well past the realm of philosophy. The flip side of it is that in a discussion of philosophy you shouldn't make assertions based on axioms that have not yet been agreed on.

In any constructivist axiom system, the usual constructions of the real numbers do not define anything sensible. If you try to make sense of Cauchy sequences from a constructivist point of view, then you'll necessarily wind up with a definition that is very much like the one that I gave.

So you get the result that I stated. From a constructivist point of view, the usual "constructions" of the real numbers are nonsense and construct nothing, while the definition that I gave constructs something that can be reasonably called the real numbers. According to classical mathematics, both sets of constructions are well-defined, and the one that I gave is both complicated and different than the usual reals.

Which version you accept depends on your philosophical beliefs. Seeing what a different philosophical belief will lead to is very hard the first time you do it. But if you believe that it makes no sense to talk about the "truth" of unverifiable statements, you won't wind up debating the finer points of whether to accept C in ZFC...

The idea that the ideal worker (especially in the information industry) is one that will do what you ask without asking questions or requiring explanation is extremely narcissistic.

I am a Ruby dev, and one of the things I appreciate most about the language is that once I broke down the initial barriers we're talking about now, there was practically nothing stopping me from saying "I am a Ruby dev"

It was still years after that before I would dare to say I was a Rails dev, of course...

IMHO it is a feature if your language guides people that are at first just passive users to become devs and contribute to your project with issues and pull requests.
I think you're asking, if we took all the matter in the Universe and converted it into a giant computer, would we be able to fully simulate our own Universe?

I think the answer is that if our Universe is currently, say, nested N levels deep in a simulation hierarchy, the Universe we currently observe may appear much more vast than it actually is, but since the speed of information is limited, we could never prove this. So while the number of estimated atoms in the observable Universe is something like 4×10^79, the actual number of simulated particles may be far, far less. Certainly, the information that comes to us via the light from distant galaxies is incredibly coarse grained and time-lagged, and if we're in a simulation it may well be that no finer grained representation actually exists (assuming there are no observers in those galaxies).

I don't actually know if I believe the simulation argument, and all of this is currently (perhaps forever) non-falsifiable. By the time we're able to even send an observer to some distant galaxy ~5 billion light years away, the Universe would have expanded even more, making the galaxy even further away. But the limitations imposed on the speed of information via light cones seems to make it very computationally feasible to simulate a Universe that appears much larger and detailed than it actually is. So in other words, the inhabitants of Universe at level N of the simulation hierarchy should be able to simulate a lower-entropy coarse approximation of their Universe at level N + 1, that would be indistinguishable from Universe N to the simulated inhabitants of N + 1, provided that sufficient restrictions on the speed of information and the number of observers is enforced.

But intuitively it seems there should be a limitation here, in that as N increases the level of nested computational resources available would need to decrease, until you hit a low entropy "leaf Universe". But that doesn't really affect the probabilistic angle of the simulation argument.
They're not even clocks, in that they don't individually keep time. But that's not the point, is it. I think it's a nice project.

This is an unintended side effect of the drugs being illegal. Make them legal, and addicts will have a safe, predictable and inexpensive access to the drugs.

Addicts are already punished enough just by being addicts. I doubt any of them want to be addicts. Making it illegal, heaping on more punishment, does not help and just makes it worse.

Government policy on addictive drugs should be focused on treatment, not punishment.
United States Partiarchy, in recent times:

Women running the Boston Marathon were not recognized as completing it until 1972.

Abortion was illegal until 1973, and it has gone back to being quasi-illegal.

Women here didn't have the right to open a line of credit until 1974.

Until 1978, a woman could be fired for being pregnant.

Until 1980, you could be fired from your job for complaining about sexual harassment.

Marital rape was not criminalized until 1993.

In 1994, women were banned from serving in armed combat in the military. It was finally lifted in 2013.

Women were not allowed to breastfeed in public until 1999.

Women are generally not allowed, or severely frowned upon, joining male-dominated sports such as football.

Women are not allowed to show their nipples in public, except in a few states in a few designated places, and never on social media (well, except maybe Tumblr).

In many states, getting an abortion (read: having full control over your own body and the things that come out of it) is illegal, or so completely difficult as to make it impossible.

When it is legal, women may be forced to undergo a very painful procedure that has been compared to rape, for no medical reason whatsoever.

When it is quasi-legal, you might still not be able to get one, even if your own life is at risk by not getting one.

Or it may only be illegal to have the abortion if the fetus is intact. You may instead have the fetus cut up into little pieces inside you, and then removed, which would not be illegal. (Yes, this is a real federal law)

Since the 2010 midterm elections, over 240 restrictions on abortion have been adopted, mostly at the state level. There are charts to help understand what you can and cannot do with your body depending on the state and county you live in (because most states have over 50% of their counties with no facility to perform abortion, and 28 states have over 90% of their counties with no facilities to perform abortion).

If you can get one, you can afford it, and there is access to a facility, you may need a waiting period, a mandatory unnecessary vaginal ultrasound, counseling, at least one parent informed, and parental consent (even if your parent raped you).

Oh, and women still make 79 cents on the dollar to what men make. A 2015 World Economic Forum report predicted that global gender parity, or the economic and social equality of the sexes, would not arrive for 177 years. This time last year, the Institute for Women’s Policy made a similar assertion, arguing that American men would significantly out-earn American women until 2058.

I could go on, and on, and on, and on. Women are oppressed in this country, by men and the 'moral conservatives' who wish to continue dominating women. It is a patriarchal society because women are treated as second class citizens, and our laws and "free market" reflect that many, many times over.

Yeah, I have worked with js/npm more than ruby or python lately. I've looked into yarn, but haven't used it on a project yet.

I like npm. For package management, I think npm is on par with bundler (ruby) and thus a bit better than pip. I like the ease of use of package.json scripts and find myself using them more and more. They feel lighter and easier to set up than the ruby equivalent (rake tasks, usually), although when you start doing fairly complex stuff (e.g., custom asset management), they can get a bit unwieldy.

As for the ecosystems, I find javascript is more in flux. It is more work to keep dependencies up to date or to decide what library to use when you need one, and I've had apps break on minor and patch updates to dependencies fairly often.

There is also a focus on small libraries that just do one thing. Nothing wrong with that, but the number of dependencies some projects have is a bit crazy.

If you work with Ruby or Python for web stuff, you inevitably end up using JS for the frontend, so it is certainly a reasonable choice to use Express as the server and go full Javascript.

And my company does that a fair amount, but when we need an app to do something more complicated than serve web pages and talk to the database, we end up moving over to flask/python to take advantage of python's better libraries (esp. for math/science/data stuff).

So, I still see some value in picking up python. Nothing wrong with any of the other languages though, and you can learn a lot from any language. Depends on your interests and needs really.
Well, that's what I said above: if meteors hit all your data centres, there's pretty much nothing anyone could have done—no amount of planning—that could have prevented that. (Though there are different scales of expectation at play here—corporations wouldn't be expected to build fault-tolerant backup sites in bunkers and on submarines, but the military would.)

But if one meteor—or, more commonly, flooding or a power/internet outage—can cost your large corporation $100MM+ dollars of lost revenue, beyond just the cost of replacing the data-center—then you've set up your architecture all wrong to achieve the KPIs you're being measured on as a CIO, to the point that you probably don't know how to do what you were hired to do. Easier to fire and replace at that point, because the "average" replacement will likely be much better.

On the other hand, firing someone if a DDoS takes down their business is not really justifiable these days, because the average CIO doesn't have enough experience with DDoSes to know how to build for that case. In such a case, the replacement CIO also wouldn't know, so you'd be throwing away built-up experience by firing them.

>If I have a quantum computer, dont I have to use at least N particles to simulate an N particle system?

If we're in a simulation, we can't assume too much about the host reality's physics. Quantum computers or something else capable of simulating quantum physics simply could be easy to make in the host reality.

My original example of a kid breaking something and the law coming after the parent was chosen in hopes of not getting into this kind of conversation. It was chosen as something that should be obviously true and not arguable.

I try really hard to be careful about talking about parenting because I am aware that I was fortunate to be in a position to insist on no excuses. I was able to be a full time mom, in part because my ex was career military, and also my parents were very big on the idea that kids need a full time care taker, so they helped make it possible for me to put my kids first.

But I am talented at certain kinds of insights and one of my rules was that if my kid did not like someone, they were not left with them. So, I did feel responsible for making sure they were generally not left in the care of some dumbass nutcase who might hand them a gun. Nothing as extreme as you describe ever happened, because I was incredibly vigilant about details like vetting folks whom I left my kids with.

So, your example really does not work for me and I imagine we are not going to see eye to eye on this point.

That is another thing. The maximum total amount of work I can do is incompatible with making sure I always do everything on time. E.g. when I see deadlines as super important, I am more risk averse in terms of how much I attempt. I will spend less time helping colleges if my deadline may be in danger. I will refuse unplanned urgent tasks. I may finish on time but with lower quality and will leave myself buffers in planning. That may be good thing if promised deadline is really important.

If the total output is more important, I will do what is the most effective action now. E.g. instead of spending time pressing on third parties to give me information, I will work on what I have information for now and leave them proceed at their own pace. Again, that may be good thing if deadline is less important then effectivity.
The headline had me boiling- I was born in Alabama, where there are 1.2 opioid prescriptions per person[1], so the opioid epidemic hits hard for me.

Doesn't sound terrible to me.

That is not necessary since a while ago (Xcode 7).
In agile, individual developer does not have personal responsibility for anything.

Where in the world do you get this idea? For one, there is no such thing as "agile", in the sense of a prescriptive methodology that would make such a declaration. There are just individual methodologies that claim varying levels of adherence to the Agile Manifesto[1]. And even then, the popular "Agile" methodologies like Scrum, XP, etc. never say that no one has personal responsibility for anything. Some say that teams are self-organizing and that you succeed or fail as a team, but I think everybody understands that that later part doesn't mean you can just come in and stare at the walls all day with no consequences.

If someone is "checking up on you every four hours" it's almost 100% certain that whatever process you're using has absolutely nothing to do with "agile".
This world would be a much better place if more autistic people could be excluded from this painful useless 24/7 success-and-social-status cosplay and hipster's snowflakery bullshit and just do whatever they like to do.

Also removing the need to sing one's work to avoid negative personalized attacks (from those with sub-100 IQ) and being able to get just truth-motivated anonymous feedback for correctness and/or new ideas is a huge productivity boost.

This BTW confirms the ancient maxim that losing one's personality (in the context of seeking to attain any social status or recognition whatsoever) liberates one's "energy" (which is otherwise wasted on building up and supporting that ephemeral social construct). We could call it social relaxation, if you wish - a necessary precursor for proper concentration or so-called state of flow.
