A lot of ex-communist cities that were rebuilt after the war can probably pull this off, compared to preserved Western European cities, as the streets and sidewalks are generally huge. The Soviets liked scale.

Warsaw and (East) Berlin, for example, have some really wide monumental streets. They tend to be great in the summer (lots of wind flow) but awful in the winter (for precisely the same reason.)

Infinities are difficult and your explanation is wrong. This notation .666...7 is meaningless. The notation .666... indicates a decimal representation that does not end. The representation has infinitely many sixes and does not end. If there is a 7 in the representation then it must be at a specific decimal. If it was at the end of the representation then it would be a finite decimal representation. The notation is meaningless with respect to the real numbers.
Aside from the fact that the jury's still out on whether infection actually confers immunity with Covid-19, the options are not just "get everyone infected" vs "eternal lockdown", you can actually suppress the disease to a level where new infections are rare and easily enough traced, or even completely absent.

"There isn't one, 1 is the very next number right after 0.999... Checkmate atheists." (In all seriousness I don't think it's a very convincing argument for someone who doesn't buy the proofs -- it requires you to believe and have internalized the idea that there are an infinite number of reals between any two distinct reals, and therefore that any pair of reals with nothing between are the same number. Those seem like bigger logical leaps to me than the simple proofs for someone who hasn't thought about this stuff.)
When I first started learning JavaScript in the late 90s, the primary way I learned new things was from reading other peoples code in my browser. Nowadays this isn't as easy since you often have to run obfuscated code through a prettifier to get it back into a human readable format, but it is still possible with some effort. I was concerned that WASM would make this impossible (despite the stated goal of "Be readable and debuggable — WebAssembly is a low-level assembly language, but it does have a human-readable text format (the specification for which is still being finalized) that allows code to be written, viewed, and debugged by hand."), but WASM-decompile gives me hope.

We already have those incentives. If you have an EV in California, an EV time-of-use rate offers really cheap pricing after midnight.

Perhaps I am wrong but in my experience Chrome, Firefox and the platform included browsers all set the browser language to the OS language by default.

While not a perfection solution I feel if the user is able to understand the language of the OS they are using then giving them a website in the same language is much better than picking one based on an IP location.

I totally agree the browser language options are hidden with a pretty crappy UI that no normal user would find and use easily.

Sure, you could define some sort of number system that has an infinite point digit. I doubt that’s what the original poster had in mind though.
My argument is that "noun" is a purely human abstraction, and that phenomena that act noun-like in nature are at best snapshots of iterative processes. Within the bounds of the noun abstraction, sure, I'll cede that point.

But if one eschews that abstraction and looks at it purely as a process (I want to render 1/3 in decimal notation, then multiply that decimal notation by 3), there is always that niggling 0.000...1 remainder at every snapshot. The "never stopping" bit is what smuggles verbiness into the "0.999..." noun, while simultaneously pretending it's a static value.

>On the other hand, "is deleted" flags end up causing issues when you forget to put "where not is_deleted" in your queries.

My solution would be a view for every table. Are there drawbacks? Other solutions?
And what does the right hand side of that mean? Division is commonly defined for a real numerator and a real, non-zero denominator. You are using the common symbol, but with ∞ in the place of the denominator. Since ∞ is not a real number, you must be using a non-standard definition of division, and have to define what you mean.
This argument maps to CSS-in-JS, too. It's a misunderstanding that this pattern would be rejected outright.
You are stating that 0.999... = 1 proves that 1 - 0.999... equals zero. I am stating that 1 - 0.999... = 0.000... proves that 0.999... = 1.

I think people intuitively see that infinitely zero equals zero.

Interesting. I find it funny to imagine what if you did have pictorial representations. They'd have more and more complex strokes and knots, and you would also need an infinitely large paper or infinitely precise pen in order to not end up repeating a number sooner or later as you enumerate them.

Come to think of it, this is one way of thinking about the relationship between symbols and geometry.
Yes, that's true. But when a senator is on the Senate floor there is no doubt about his or her identity. How are you going to insure that the person registering a vote remotely is in fact the senator and not someone posing as the senator?

Interesting, thanks for the analysis.

Ok, now you're saying that infinite decimals have final digits.
Personally, I think it makes perfect sense.

Take two sets A and B. If we can assign every element in A to a different one in B, we say that |A|≤|B|.

Makes perfect sense for normal, finite sets, right? As it happens, this definition extends to infinite sets as well.

There is this phrase, often used when describing the decimal expansion of pi - "keeps going infinitely". This phrase is not exactly incorrect, but I wonder if it misleads people into thinking that an "infinite decimal" is "a kind of infinity", which it really isn't in any meaningful way.
What physical paper trail currently exists? For a voice vote, there's no counting; for a standing vote, there's no individual identification of senators; for a roll call vote, it's centralized through the clerk anyways.
You need to convince people there is no 8 at the end because there is no end.

If you see an 8 it’s because you didn’t carry the 1. Keep going.

Another way to think about it is that you have n digits, and I’m using the n and n + 1 digit at the same time. But since n goes to infinity, +1 hardly matters.
Big thank you for making those public. It saved us a bunch of time. We'd like to figure out how to make this easier for people - possibly by providing a binary cross-platform toolchain that "just works".

What am I looking at there? Are those all traits on Vec that I then have to parse mentally so I can understand what I can do with it? Are all those pages basically to say "Vec works like an array of T"?

I've dealt with generics in other languages such as Swift and C#, and they were substandard to D's templates IMO. I remember in C#, I could not get a simple generic function that accepted both a string and Int to work, so I just gave up and wrote multiple functions without generics.

I'm sure some people find this documentation helpful, but it doesn't look as useful to me as map's simple one-liner.

Yeah, I mean there's nothing stopping you from throwing up a $5 / month DO server and having your code and dev environment all configured there and then just connect to that from anywhere. As long as your network latency is low it should be quite doable.

Potato chips are, to me, an even more perfect example of this effect. They are engineering marvels. If a food is too salty, you eventually crave something sweet. Too sweet and you get tired and want salt. Potato chips take the sweetness of potato starch and add just the right amount of salt to keep you balanced.

The satisfying crunchiness gives way to carby creaminess, which then promptly dissolves entirely, leaving you feeling like you haven't consumed anything at all [1], so surely one more chip is OK, right?

Potato chips are my crack. If I could eat them unburdened by shame or the desire to take care of my health, I would eat them until I burst.

I'm not sure if you are asking for an answer or a rhetorical question? I'll assume the former.

Your terms are bit jumbled, so let's keep it simple: you're asking how to prove if an infinite sum converges and what its value is. Convergence proofs require analytic thought: meaning there may not be an immediate look-up. You need to convert the problem into the known corpus of convergent sums or use one of many tests (bounds test, integral test, etc) to show it converges analytically. Which you only learn through experience and memorization (unless you want to re-prove hundreds of series... maybe you do!) Fortunately this one is easily re-written as a known convergent sum.

First, you missed a term in your sum (9), re-written here:

sum(n=1..inf) 9 * 10^-n

Step 1: you pull out the 9 and it becomes 1/10+1/100+1/1000...

Step 2: Then we shift to n=0 by subtracting 1/10^0 from the series so that it is in the form n=0..k-1

1/10^0 + 1/10 + 1/100 + 1/1000 + ... + 1/10^-n - 1/10^0

Step 3: Now we've got ourselves a geometric series of just 1/10^n .. wikipedia does a great job explaining the sum convergence for GS from n=0...inf: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_series

Step 4: compute geometric convergence

(1-r^n)/(1-r) = (1-(1/10)^n)/(1-1/10) = 1/(1-1/10) = 10/9

So we have 10/9 as the solution to Sum[n=0...inf](1/10^n)

Step 5: the remaining arithmetic

Now subtract our 1/10^0 ... and then * 9 = 1

Coronavirus: UK contact-tracing app 'ready in two to three weeks'
I don't understand the relationship between a made up scenario about a gucci bag and my comment.

Problem # 1 is the cost of returning an item and chargebacks is very high. I (and hopefully many others) are willing to pay a premium to a vendor that performs quality checks on their vendors. It's the whole reason premium brands exist.

Problem # 2 is there exist many items which consumers are not able to easily determine the legitimacy of, for example USB wall outlet AC adapters or batteries and many other small consumer electronic items where inferior parts can be used but are indiscernible to most people.
On a tangential note, these lawmakers failed to see the real consequence of a 55 mph speed limit: the invisible economic loss of longer commute times probably far outweighed any of the minor 0.5 to 1% savings in gas.

Those hours spent on the road are hours that people could be spending with their family, at work, or doing whatever else they like.

According to the Census Bureau, 128 million today commute daily in the US. Let's say they spend an average of 30 minutes on the highway at a top speed of 65 mph. If we raised the speed limit by 50% (to 97.5 mph), then the average commute would become: 30 / 1.5 = 20 minutes.

Each individual would save 10 minutes a day. With 252 working days a year, that's 2520 minutes saved a year -- which is a total of 42 hours saved per year. That's a lot of time. Across 128 million commuters, we'd save 5.376 billion hours per year. If people earned an average of $20/hour, that would be $107 billion of added economic activity per year. Whereas even 1% of gas savings would not be more than $2 billion saved per year.
Thank you for making that available! I understand why it's hard for upstream Rust to provide and I hope they'll find a solution eventually but until then not having to reinvent that wheel saved us a lot of time!

You're arguing as though "better testing/tracing" is an amorphous goal that keeps moving, when people are actually talking about quite specific and quantifiable goals. For instance, in WA:

"The recovery plan begins with widely available testing for individuals who may have contracted COVID-19, tracing for those who have come into close contact with COVID-19 positive individuals, and isolation or quarantine for individuals who could transmit the virus..... For the contact-tracing plan to work, the state needs to be processing between 20,000 and 30,000 tests a day."
