Mathematicians Measure Infinities and Find They’re Equal

In a breakthrough that disproves decades of conventional wisdom, two mathematicians have shown that two different variants of infinity are actually the same size. The advance touches on one of the most famous and intractable problems in mathematics: whether there exist infinities between the infinite size of the natural numbers and the larger infinite size of the real numbers.

Forbidden Haskell Types

Haskell’s type system is pretty great, but one thing it doesn’t have, that some other type systems do have, is recursive types, by which I mean, types directly constructed from themselves. Recursive types are forbidden in Haskell.

A Measure of Darkness

Former star basketball player Clay Edison is busy. He’s solved a decades-old crime and redeemed an innocent man, earning himself a suspension in the process. Things are getting serious with his girlfriend. Plus his brother’s fresh out of prison, bringing with him a whole new set of complications.

In the evening I started in A Measure of Darkness, Clay Edison Book 2, by Jonathan Kellerman and his son Jesse Kellerman.
