A related question if anyone knows good answers here. What programming languages' de-facto thread implementations are not wrappers around pthreads? I think Go has its own thread implementation? Or am I mistaken?

How can we build a society that supports volunteer work in open source? Should governments step in and provide open source grants for important projects just like it does for research work? So much of the world now depends on open source so

I really thought that pipenv was an anti-pattern. How hard it is to run "python3 -m venv venv; source venv/bin/activate; pip3 install -r requirements.txt" that one needs to create a whole new tool just to combine these t

You are quoting from Wikipedia and that quote is an oversimplification. If you redefine the law like that, then sure, I agree that there are many uniform distributions too where the 1st digit is likely to be small. Here is another simple ex

Can you provide an example range of uniformly distributed integers that obeys Benford's law?

Ramanujan also claimed 1 + 2 + 3 + ... = -1/12. How does that work? Who can explain this to me?

You just keep going round and round with handwaving that makes no sense. I read your link. I did not see Benford's law emerging anywhere in your link. What does "max is uniformly distributed" even mean? If you think that the

If you present a weird distribution to begin with, it should not be surprising that every digit does not have the same chance of appearing. That's not the point. We are not talking about weird distributions here. If we are going to arg

Can you provide a concrete example of a range of numbers that you think obeys Benford's law?

It does not matter what N you choose. The experimental results are always an approximation of Benford's law. The approximation gets better and better as N becomes larger and larger. The fact that you do not see Benford's law worki

That's a fair point. Yes, I thought the same thing too when I read this. It is only introducing restrictions on sequential prime numbers. I doubt it has any bearing on the factoring problem yet, at least not without more work that can

Why would this have any implications on cryptography? This does not make factoring an RSA modules any easier.

An unrelated question. For those using Vim, what plugins do you use to get a SLIME-like development environment? I have read great things about SLIME and how it helps in hot-reloading code into a Lisp REPL using Emacs. But is it necessary t

There is no one-size-fits-all solution. Some people prefer full-blown feature-rich static site generators like Jekyll or Pelican or Hugo. Some people like to write their own minimal static site generator. To each their own.
