@cbarbermd #Occam 's razor comes to mind

#Occam doesn't need 5 blades.

Not a golang expert, but my hot take from this: https://gaultier.github.io/blog/a_million_ways_to_data_race_in_go.html is that it might have taken channels from CSP, but if you only take that, you’re missing out on much more. #occam

Occam's razor is a principle stating that when faced with competing explanations for a phenomenon, the simplest explanation—the one with the fewest assumptions or entities—is usually the most likely to be true.

I've come to the conclusion that #conspiracy theorists bypass #Occam's_razor in favour of Occam's epilator!

@keefeglise

No Linux at all. Trams use Occam.

(Your "for the teenagers" references are as nothing to how few people will get this one. (-:)

Given that we live in the stupidest timeline[1], I thought this might be useful in reasoning about the world around you ...

Occam's Butterknife: With all else being equal, the stupidest explanation is likely the correct one. [2]

[1] You may have noticed a lot of people have expressed this observation in the last month or so...
[2] I don't care if Steve Sailer has used this term for something else.

The Recurse of Factorial

I've just revisited this essay on recursive functions, data structures, functional thinking and control flow, reformatting the code, fixing a couple of links, clarifying a few points and rewording some things.

Транспьютеры — революция многопроцессорных систем, которой не случилось

В самом начале 80-х годов двадцатого столетия, как и много раз в более поздние годы, возникло мнение, что обычные процессоры достигли предела своей производительности. Тогда, по крайней мере, к этому имелись все предпосылки: имевшиеся на тот момент технологии уже не позволяли разместить больше логических схем на одном кристалле. Традиционные компьютеры с архитектурой CISC приблизились к пределу своих вычислительных возможностей, и было неясно, можно ли его преодолеть. Именно тогда на свет появились транспьютеры — чипы с принципиально новой архитектурой, которую сразу же окрестили научно-техническим прорывом, революционной разработкой и будущим компьютерных технологий. О самих транспьютерах и о том, как сложилась их судьба — наш сегодняшний рассказ.

Occam's Razor as a Magical Item in D&D 5e

A rare, magical straight razor that grants insight & reveals the unflinching truth when used to shave. But beware, this power comes at a price.

If you missed the latest episode of the Wisdom for Life radio show when it ran, or you'd like to see Dan and I in the conversation, here's the show recording of the episode, where we looked at a number of philosophical ideas people get mixed up about!

This print "Occam's Razor" is about the Law of Economy or Parsimony postulated by Scholastic philosopher William of Ockham (1287–1347), "pluralitas non est ponenda sine necessitate" or entities should not be needlessly multiplied. More simply this law, or really, rule of thumb is that the simplest explanation is usually right. 🧵1/n

✧ Sagan standard ✧

The Sagan standard is the aphorism that "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence". It is named for Carl Sagan (pictured), who used the phrase in his 1979 book Broca's Brain. The standard has been described as fundamental to the scientific method and is regarded as encapsulating the basic principles of scientific skepticism. The ...
