@Meaningness A good example of safety in a memory unsafe language is @TigerBeetleDB https://t.co/0sXvBDiiJD
By using tricks such as defining explicit limits for everything, they define a whole class of errors out of existence, even though the language they use is "unsafe".

[Rik @IsntTrivial]

@Meaningness I think the point I'm trying to make is that memory safety is a formal property of a programming language, whereas general safety is a property whose definition is situational and negotiated.

@SamoBurja Software is faster bureaucracy.

Rigid rules and decision procedures, executed by a dumb operator who can only follow the rules.

@dundereloise To be fair to the potato dumpling, eating those for a snack is like eating an unadorned slice of bread for a snack!

@borkdude that's a 20 minute bike ride!

now to learn clojure...

[Rik @IsntTrivial]

@ludwigABAP P(red|heads) = .5
P(red|tails) = 1
P(heads) = P(tails) = .5
conditional probability sum P(red) = .5*1 + .5*.5 = .75
bayes rule P(heads|red) = P(red|heads)*P(heads)/P(red) = .5*.5/.75 = .333

child can do the laundry!

@eliesgalvira @jorandirkgreef @TigerBeetleDB Love TigerBeetle, but not sure their database will solve this. We already have ~instant transactions in the Netherlands. The tricky bit is getting everyone to join the "make things fast" scheme, not the tech

@GrantSlatton it hasnt

@Vernon3Austin Hi Austin, nice post! You might want to know the link to the companion piece is broken. You link to https://t.co/oC55hFdz7z, but that 404's. Did you mean https://t.co/Hlg9813YW4 perhaps?

@dundereloise @lkesteloot I should have a go at the decaf coffee one, seems inconceivable that I wouldn't taste it, but I haven't tried!

@dundereloise @lkesteloot I have done the M&M experiment and my wife was able to distinguish between orange, brown, and not-orange-or-brown with 100% accuracy!
