What happens if you make an infinite amount of typos in one place? Example: the Khmer word for Thursday ថ្ងៃព្រហស្បតិ៍. Somebody may not be sure whether it's written without the tondakheat at the end like ថ្ងៃព្រហស្បតិ or with. So they think "the more the better" and err on the safe side and put an infinite amount of tondakheats there.

I wrote a script that generates 2.4 Gbps of tondakheats:

#!/bin/bash
echo -n "ថ្ងៃ​ព្រហស្បតិ៍"
while true; do
yes "៍៍" \
| LC_ALL=C tr -d '\n'
done

When I run it on a terminal, the context switch load of the system increases from 3 kHz to 33 kHz and it starts to stutter. Sounds healthy.

The electronics/logic behind "while(1)" and "for(;;)

Up until recently, have been trying to validate user input by writing lengthy if-statetments nested in while-loops. I usually have the while-loop check that the function that takes input - for instance getchar() - is not EOF and the if-statement checking whether input is of the desired data type and/or size. But then I noticed people doing something similar with infinite loops while(1) and for(;;).

While I understand that these loops are infinite because there is no condition to check against in for(;;) and because the condition is always true in while(1), I wonder if there is a more pedagogical (?) way of expressing the same thing. Like a proof of concept, or like what’s going on at the electronic/logic level, if one were to draw this on a schematic with logic gates.

Or am I perhaps overthinking it and there is “simply” a signal/transistor somewhere that is always on/1/true/has the approproate votlage? Feels like “fooling” the machine by writing while(1) or for (;;) ….

Russell was my favourite #philosopher as a youngster, and it was only later that I realised he was also an important figure in my favourite #mathematics.

Dedekind's definition of infinite is: a set is #infinite if (and only if) it has the same size as a proper subset of itself.

"Same size" can be made precise too, but the intuition is clear: you can delete an element of something infinite, and it will still be infinite.
