You misunderstood my question. I asked, "Why should I allow anyone to define what kinds of art should I find transcendent and, worse, which kinds of art are non-transcendent?", with a stress on the "I".

I find it worthwhile to listen to people who describe what touches them and what they are indifferent to. However, the tone of the article describes the "mundane" and the "extraordinary" from an objectivesque point of view, which I personally find silly due to the fact that art is an inherently subjective experience.

Yes. To put it in other words "simplicity scales" in terms of number of people. It helps to commoditise things faster and lower the cost (i.e learning, operating, hiring, tooling cost etc).
These are all things that drive me crazy! Minimizing and simplifying would be easy and save these companies heaps of money. I hope somebody will fix these things soon. Then, they can move on to fixing the clicking mouse.
Good write up Michael. I am still a little sad that InterLisp is, as you say, relegated to the dustbin of history - even though I only used InterLisp for a year before Xerox switched my 1108 to Common Lisp.

There are many interesting interactive systems being built, but not always used much. I spent some time playing with Glamorous Toolkit for Pharo Smalltalk on Saturday because I have a conference call this Thursday that the author will be on - I wanted to check out his ideas which are basically code in a live data environment and save code so that it can be refactored, run, etc. in the system code browser.

I really love the idea of building a language up in layers to become an application specific language. I mostly use Common Lisp now and the developer experience is very different than it used to be. As great as Lisp machines were, I am going to be a bit of a heretic and say that I much prefer my current setup with amazingly fast hardware with a GPU when I need it, SBCL, and Quicklisp to help me keep my code organized and mix in other peoples’ libraries.

I'm following your point, but it's more of a "lesser of two evils" arguement than saying automation creates net job growth. Its not even growth its just lessened job loss.

As the efficiency continues to improve, if demand doesn't follow suit the will be an inevitable job loss. The factories I witnessed automation come in did not ever bring those lost jobs back. Sure, in the short term the displaced workers were sometimes moved to a different plant, but those jobs are almost certainly getting automated in the future too.
I always wondered if these were all movements through different higher physical dimensions.

I wonder if anyone has studied that.

>Atheist, raised by atheist parents in France, being respectful in a cemetery is not about religious education. It is about empathy and not being an asshole. People who go there are most likely mourning. That's the last place where it is appropriate to bring kids playing.

That's culture-specific. You don't bring kids playing next to a funeral, but occasional walks, strolls, etc, to a cemetery are quite common in many countries.

For cultures that are not skittish with the dead, cemeteries are also big, peace-full, tree-laden, places. Also ideal to contemplate how short life is.

In Mexico, of course, they also have all kinds of celebrations in cemeteries...

But personal/family visits/strolls (and even picnics) have been a staple all around the world...

Consumer reports doesn't tear anything down or really analyze the quality of anything, they just "test" stuff, and collect failure data from their subscribers. Whenever I would try to buy something they rated highly in their reviews, I would find that it was no longer for sale.

What annoys me is that they are constantly harping on safety above all else, and are on what seems to be a personal crusade against self driving cars in general, and Tesla in particular. I recently cancelled my subscription.

>Doesn't the burial itself have religious roots even when it's no longer administered by a church? Anecdotally, there has been a recent trend away from cemeteries altogether now that the religious reasoning isn't there, with people having there ashes scattered somewhere meaningful or kept with family.

Treating your dead as anything else than an annoying piece of meat to dispose of has religious roots.

The idea to attach some sentimental value to our dead, is one of the oldest manifestations of civilization (neolithic age and before), and tied to viewing humans and our relations in a different light than mere animalistic.

Another commenter has already dealt with marriage - it's much more complex that you think - just to add you appear to forget the womans point of view ( and genes ) entirely in you're assessment of the best strategy - where 'sow wild oats' obviously doesn't apply.

Also I'd have to say that one of the great successes of humans as a species is they are much more adaptable without genetic change than most - ie escaping our genetics is something to be acknowledged and celebrated not berated.

> Homosexuality, indeed, is a discouragement to species survival (if I understand your meaning correctly). Yet you're claiming it is unlikely that it doesn't originate in genetics?

I said the sex drive is likely largely genetic - note that there are two sexes! - women who are attracted generally to men and vice a versa - so both attractions would be encoded in the same genome - each by many factors. The question them becomes in any individual, which ones are switched on to what extent.

Genetic variation is a cornerstone of evolution, without it you can't genetically adapt or change.

Clearly sexual attraction involves the brain, which is one of the most adaptable organs in the body - so environment is very likely going to play a role - these things are not absolute.

Finally you seem to be under some illusion that the current state of humans is perfect adaption, rather than continuous work in progress against a constantly moving target.
Why international shipping specifically? It’s extremely efficient and currently accounts for only around 3% of global CO2 emissions. (Compare to roughly 50% for electricity production, 20% for manufacturing, and 20% for transportation as a whole.)
In my humble opinion, the key to appreciating the advantage of dark matter over modified gravity (of any kind) is that there is at least one galaxy that has been observed to be consistent with no dark matter. That’s only possible if unexpected gravitational effects are due to dark matter, and that it be absent... it’s pretty difficult to think of a situation where modified gravity would re-modify itself to behave exactly as we expect it to.
Because you it's really hard to believe in the miracles Jesus performed while also believing that physics is a worthwhile endeavor. Either the universe follows laws that we can discover, or you can turn water into wine. I realize that the catholic church does the necessary mental contortions to believe both, but to me miracles and science are contradictory.
> The "born this way" aspect of gay activism

Gays aren't the only ones who say they are born that way. As far as I know, everyone who is straight does too. Not that I researched it scientifically, but every straight person I know believes they were born straight, and that heterosexual animals were born heterosexual too.

How many people believe that heterosexuality is a choice?

I've dealt with it by wishing I had reproducible builds.

If I'm debugging a production issue and want to create a debug build from the same source to step through things, it would be nice if I could just build both debug and release, check the hash on the release to confirm it matches production, then start debugging, without reference to any external records or other systems.

Reproducible builds reduce the number of links in the chain needed to verify what you're really doing.

Not as in wine good, but on a warn day, soda and cheap wine taste fine.

* I do most of my CPU intensive work on a regular old box, or a mainframe, and both can be used via remote access, so for travel i like to keep it light.

* My travel requirements are pretty much VPN, web, mail, pdf/epub, SSH, Sublime Text/Merge, and the odd Python script.

* The EVE V was not my first choice, but it has surprised me by being a great little performer that is easy to stow away, and it has lots and lots of ports:

2x USB-A 3.0
1x USB 3.0 USB-C
1x Thunderbolt 3 USB-C
1x 3.5mm audio
1x Micro SDXC reader

* I also have an old 2015 MB Pro Retina 13" that i use on and off.

Why is California seeing a housing construction decrease?
A very bad analogy is air pressure. Because air pressure is really not a force in of itself, it's just the presence of air at certain measures, but we observe the effects of air pressure as we move through the atmosphere. That drag coefficient changes depending on air pressure, and influences the aerodynamics..... you get the idea. In orbit around earth the drag of upper atmosphere is enough to decay orbits, even though it's so minute it's practically a near vacuum.

That is something like gravity's inverse square law, or put another ways we have been obsessing on the measured effects of gravity, but not truely understanding.... like we used to not understand air pressure centuries ago.

Anyways, it goes without saying air pressure emerges from lots of air concentrated in a space, just like gravity emerges from the presence of mass in a concentrated space.

Gravity is the air of the universe.

Amazon is usually pretty good, but I did run into an exception recently. I bought some "green paint stripper" that didn't work at all and the return was denied because hazmat. It wasn't shipped hazmat in the first place but try arguing that to the machine :) I bet there are other exceptions like it. Maybe there are size restrictions or heavy equipment restrictions?

The "green paint stripper" is a fun tangent in and of itself. Based on the texture (textured cream), coloration (granite), scent (lavender), lack of solvent smells, lack of flammability, and neutral pH, I suspect it was actually some kind of cosmetic that failed skin compatibility tests, or something, and an enterprising fraudster figured out they could get away with selling it as "green paint stripper." No need to ship it hazmat, because it isn't, but it's plausible to tell Amazon it's hazmat, so no returns. Clever.

Now my paint-stripping policy is that if I can't find a MSDS listing dichloromethane, dimethylcarbonate, or acetone, I don't bother.
> If it interacts with visible matter gravitationally then why doesn't it take on the same distribution?

Because unlike visible matter, it does not interact in non-gravitational ways, even with itself.

Visible matter can clump to form planets and stars because when two particles of it are attracted enough to hit each other there is some interaction other than gravity, which helps eat some of their kinetic energy. In contrast, when that happens with two particles of dark matter, they just fly through each other, and if they were moving fast enough, never meet again.

There are non-gravitational interactions even at the galactic scale, even though they are very weak indeed compared to gravity. As our sun plows through space, the particles it's sphere of influence hits have a preferred range of velocities and directions, the "galactic rest". Over billions of years, this does influence where in the galaxy our sun is. Dark matter has no such influence on it.
From my experience, I have trouble with the oracle Java docs.

I am pretty happy with what you can do with Javascript/TypeScript. I implemented a hot reload solution for nodejs a few months ago (@hediet/node-reload): It restarts stack frames automatically when it detects that its function body has changed during execution. This is particularly useful when debugging, even if the function is not pure. Together with my extension hediet.debug-visualizer for vscode that visualizes data structures while stepping through code, it feels pretty close to an interactive programming environment. I implemented almost all of my TypeScript AST processing tools this way and would feel pretty helpless now without it.
>The contract is with the hiring company. Once I’ve submitted your resume to a company, with your permission, the company can’t hire you without paying me. So as long as I have your permission to put you forward for a role, and submit you to the client, you can cut me out of the process as much as you wish ... I’m still getting paid if you take the role.

But isn't it the same for Wag?

The point is that you have two counterparts:

1) the company that could deny having actually employed your candidate but that cannot because there are records about the hiring

2) the candidate that (since he/she has nothing to loose) has no reason to deny being hired

What have Wag to actually prove that someone got again the same dog walker and that they met for the first time through Wag?

Yes. Fun emerges due to sharing of similar goals. People have fun because they play the same game, enjoy the same movie or simply have the same freedoms. I agree that it helps direct and motivate us. (Thanks for that insight!)

I guess I just cannot share in the purpose of the team making this car go +300 mph. We already have the Thrust SSC (1228 km/h / 763 mph). So what does this prove? That if you want to take corners and need to see what happens behind you, you won't get to go that fast? Why not productionize the Thrust SSC then?

Max speed (to me) is just a senseless metric. It's a bit like clock speed of a CPU. Interesting metric, but only in relationship to other factors.

But all of them have various constraints, a formula so to speak, that they must adhere to. A specific function within that world of constraints.

The Bugatti is a street legal car designed to shatter speed records in a straight line. If that isn't specific function with a formula I don't know what qualifies. The street legal part of a super car is not inherently different than the 1.6L FI hybrid engine regulations of Formula 1, it's just a different set of constraints.

You do not create a winning street legal super car without knowledge, innovation, creativity, determinism, enthusiasm - and by proxy of those joy, competition, and playfulness.

I simply do not understand the gate keeping here. If it's not your thing, fair enough. But please do not invalidate the joy of others because it is real to them.

It's comparable to an mechanical watch. You can make a digital watch significantly better at time keeping and all the other functions, that is substantially cheaper both to produce and maintain. But if mechanical precision devices make your world go around, then I can appreciate that - I'm just not going to pay $10k yearly to maintain an elaborate mechanical wristwatch.

Cultural appropriation really doesn't mean claiming you came up with something.
