> Some of the words (Hades) were literally underground. Others (Gehenna) not so much.

AFAIK, Hades isn't in the original text either; I do know it appears in Greek OT texts as a translation of the Hebrew Sheol (while the Hades of Greek mythology is literally an underworld, the Sheol of pre-Christian Jewish belief is, again AFAIK, not.)

> It seems like the "literally inside the Earth" interpretation is trending downward, which isn't surprising since biblical literalism in general seems to be declining.

The "literally inside the Earth" interpretation isn't particularly grounded in Biblical literalism (though the groups holding to those two beliefs may overlap significantly.)
It's cool that this paper exists as a counterpoint to the pervasive culture of defeat around P == NP.

People want to believe P != NP so they feel better about how they failed to prove it, or make a faster algorithm.

This is ridiculous and doesn't help advance the cause to solve it. It's an illogicality at the heart of the CS establishment, everyone is "confident" P != NP, with no proof, simply so they can move on to other things.

What happened to backbone, determination and persistence?

Their confidence in impossibility smells of self-justification of failure, and fear. And the irrational "culture of belief" ( without proof ) is the very antithesis of good science.

Your downvote makes you complicit to this culture of defeat.
If you are already connected to the grid, then you can simply just feed the electricity back into the grid when over-producing (which is tracked by your meter), and then use electricity from the grid at night.

This actually works in your benefit if you have solar panels, because electricity prices are higher during the middle of the day (more demand). So you can "sell" daytime electricity (at high prices) [1], and then buy electricity at night which is much cheaper. This actually is the main benefit of the battery if you are connected to the grid, you can do the same thing.

I didn't miss the word. I just don't believe it's accurate. If the intended message was "fuck off", there's no polite way to deliver that. You might deliver it without literally saying the words, but if the meaning is intact, you're not being polite.

I also don't believe a politely delivered message can result in a 3-month plot filled with false reports, culminating in job termination. How does that play out? "Wow, he's so polite all the time! I'll fuck him over anyway because I'm pure evil! And I've got nothing better to do, so I'll keep at it for months!"
Why should an athlete not get involved in "any of this politics stuff"? They are individuals as well and have as much right to political speech, thought, and action as every other individual on the planet.

"and other languages will not be considered"

That's too bad, as I'd recommend Java and/or the raft of excellent languages available on the JVM.

With C# you're effectively locking yourselves into Windows, which seems a terrible decision from both a cost and scalability standpoint.

With golang you're losing the vast array of open source packages available for the JVM, as well as locking yourselves into a single language which may or may not fit your future needs well.

Scala in particular is an interesting JVM language. Clojure and many others are worth a look as well.

I thought that I clarified that in my post, but if you could tell me what was confusing, I'll use that to inform future discussions I have on this.

> This is incorrect. Setuptools is an extension of distutils (it patches and extends distutils to have additional functionality). Distribute was a fork of Setuptools that has been merged back into Setuptools.

Correct, and one reason why the landscape has been confusing for a while (confusion between distutils/setuptools/distribute). Thankfully distribute has been merged back into setuptools.

> Also, `pth` is not a installation method

You're right. It's a way to customize the import system, but it's "main" usage in the wild is during installation/setup. The main place that I've seen it used is with easy_install + eggs (IIRC).

Yes we ran into this a lot with people wanting more control. There are several hooks and extension points in the software.

Jaco Pastorius started as a drummer and then moved to bass. In that crossover, he held tightly to his initial drumming bent and incorporated rhythm into his playing, frequently playing off the drummer to add complexity to the music's rhythms. He also used a sequencer to sample his bass as the rhythm track for his solos. I am guessing it would have been fascinating to image his brain and compare it to both drummers and non-drumming musicians:

There's certainly a lot of accidental complexity that comes from lack of standardization. For example, think about how complicated character sets were to deal with before Unicode. Then compare the mess of different kinds of Unicode encodings to standardizing on UTF-8. Or take file formats before XML/JSON/Protobufs. Or, going further back, floating point before IEEE 754.

I agree that blowing it all up is not a win, which is why accidental complexity goes away only gradually, and it's partially a process of hiding it rather than removing it, with lots of politics along the way.

The way I understand it Eve is aiming to be both a better Excel and a better Lotus Notes. I think its creators are still on to something.

These tools are often ridiculed and their use by non-programmers for creating business tools is often frowned upon but they allow business users to quickly create flexible, makeshift solutions to their problems. Not every business problem needs to be solved by a complex, cumbersome JEE application and an expensive application server.

While Lotus Notes apps certainly look awful and feel clunky most of the times there is a certain elegance to being able to quickly whip up a solution to a business problem or an urgent information need without having to go through a lengthy collection of requirements and approval process first. The same applies to Excel spreadsheets: They're a great tool for iterating quickly and getting a certain class of jobs done. Something like a REPL for non-programmers.

> But somehow the image of "HR" working for the employees and advocating for them persists.

One of the most important techniques HR departments have in maximizing the extracted value to extraction cost ratio for the company's "human resources" is to convince those resources that the HR department is their advocate within the company rather than the company's office responsible for the aforementioned cost/benefit optimization.

(OTOH, there are good reasons for a well-run HR department to be an employee advocate within the company on issues in many cases, since often the cost effective way to keep employees productive is to address their needs and desires; but its important to understand why that may sometimes be the case, and why it is not universally the case.)

Thanks for taking a read. Chris stated in the blog post that this release is basically "a database with an IDE". Our vision for Eve is that people will use it as a tool for thinking and then communicating the results of that thought process.

Take a look at Excel, for instance. Excel is the most widely used programming language by non-programmers simply because of its dead-simple programming abstraction: a grid of cells than can hold data and reference each other with formulae. History has shown anybody can get this.

People have taken this surprisingly far, but there are still drastic limitations to what you can build this way (how do you manage state, UI, external access to APIs and data?). Trying to make programming in its current form simpler is a dead-end; as a task, programming has built up too much incidental complexity over the years. Instead, we are approaching it from the Excel angle of trying a completely different abstraction, which (we hope) will attract the same kind of attention from non-programmers as Excel has.
This is just not true.

You cannot just give a smart person with common sense some pages of API docu and suddenly they are software architects. This takes years of experience to do. What you can do is be a code monkey and solve a very specific small problem space that an architect has assigned to you.

A short description:

The Outergraph offers travellers the possibility to do all their shopping online while abroad, as an alternative to the time consuming classic travel shopping. No more walks from store to store, fitting rooms or carrying bags. Travellers can now browse the city online and make better shopping decisions, as The Outergraph curates and displays only products from quality local brands and top retailers, while sharing their brand stories through a special menu. All orders are comfortably delivered to the hotels the next day, but travellers can also shop before arrival or even from home.

The Outergraph is also an option for those who are not planning to travel in the near future. All partner brands have international delivery options.​ The Outergraph of London is now live.

Back on topic, I too well understand these things, having had a few painful incidents with HR myself. I ended up coming out on top, more or less, in the end, but you have to know that if you have a complaint about someone, you probably will have to confront that person and prove it. I managed to do that, but I would probably have had to leave the company if I hadn't, honestly.

HR was mostly worried about lawsuit potential. My immediate boss was, at least, humane. He even made a point of sitting on 'my side' during the meeting so that I wasn't alone there.
In fact I suspect that people are more likely to "do it wrong" in (some?) western populations.

If you grow up in a food culture that is primarily vegetarian/vegan or at least has a subset that is, you immediately have a source of familiar recipes that will likely meet your nutritional needs.

On the other hand, if all you know how to cook and all you've seen being cooked tends to rely on meat proteins for some of nutrient balance, you really need to do some research to know what to add to your diet to replace what you are taking away. This research isn't difficult, really, but it can be hard to know where to start.

I suspect that if you take pretty much any traditional diet and start taking things away from it if you aren't careful you will rapidly run into deficiencies.

I suppose an argument for the recent, significant, western trend to over consumption of macro nutrients has an upside in that even if your diet is fairly (but not seriously) unbalanced, if you eat enough of it you tend to mostly get the nutrients you need....

Well in my eyes, there is no such thing as legal ivory as it's gray area at best. It's similar to the synthetic drugs. Yeah, they are not explicitly illegal but you are a fool if you think that they won't be confiscated if they are found by the customs.
If it is really only a choice between those two, I'd go with C#/.NET for a number of reasons. The main thing for me is that it is object-oriented. To head off a possible complaint about .NET, with the mono project, you don't have to run your code on Windows. That leaves a lot of options open. We run a rather complex .NET application on CentOS using mono without any isssues. One thing to keep in mind, though, is that most newer programmers don't learn C#. You may be able to find people easily that are good with it, but they are likely to be older and more expensive. This may not actually be a downside if you are looking for experience, but I find that older .NET devs tend to be in the 1 year of experience 30 times group rather than the 30 years of actual experience group. This is solely based on my personal experience, though.

> I'm arguing that many people are doing it wrong.

I suppose this is true, but this doesn't really add much to the conversation, in my opinion. Take any statistic about Western health — or lack thereof – such as 70% of the United States being overweight or obese. The small number of people in western countries adopting vegetarian diets is not to blame for these things. People love to talk about potato-chips-and-french-fries vegetarians, but the truth is that almost nobody in the country eats well, regardless of whether or not they eat meat. I think singling out vegetarians is pretty unfair, even if it was mentioned in the paper.

Anecdotally, I've been a vegetarian since I was seven years old, and I make pretty much no effort to make sure I get the "right" amount of nutrients. I simply don't eat junk, and based on what I've read about nutrients I should supposedly be deficient in (B12, zinc, iron, etc.), I have never suffered from any of the symptoms associated with deficiency.

* Technically, lacto-ovo vegetarian, although eggs only come in the form of occasional junk food (e.g. cakes and brownies), and dairy comes from the very rare occurrence of eating out. At home, I eat vegan 99% of the time.
Specifically, I was under the impression the soap-based solution to the STP problem was prone to hitting local minima, as it's effectively a gradient descent from a random starting point.
