Re: Loaded Dice

By the way, proofs and programs are the same thing

I do my math in that way but I would not say that.

Have you heard of Curry-Howard isomorphism?

I have not.

Re: Loaded Dice

Curry-Howard Isomorphism is a formal idea which tells you that proofs and programs are the exact same thing. The idea is based on constructivism/intuitionism.

Re: Loaded Dice

I will look it up and if true I will stop programming.

Re: Loaded Dice

That is a coincidence. I was going to answer a question on night hiking over there at the SE but changed my mind.

Re: Loaded Dice

Because you are discouraged by the number of downvotes?

Re: Loaded Dice

I did not post the answer so there were no downvotes.

Re: Loaded Dice

It is a foolish question in my opinion and I amazed that anyone would ask it. But everyone over there considers himself an expert so there is little use in trying to change an experts mind.

Re: Loaded Dice

Well, I do not think it is a good idea to consider any question to be foolish.

Re: Loaded Dice

Should I put my face into the fire? Should I jump out of a plane without a parachute and see if I can fly? Should I eat until I explode? There are foolish questions.

Re: Loaded Dice

The third one seems like fun. What are we going to eat?
