The isolation-experiment-based research is not new and didn't originate with Lilly. AFAIK, it was first recorded (and possibly also originated) with Avicenna (Abu Ali Ibn-e Sina is the full, correct name). And he was not an Ayrab (Salm

i had Bolt create an interactive app teaching me Oberon language but despite several attempts to fix issues, there were still glitches in unexpected places. So the experience was... meh. Then I went back to a book written by humans (Eric N

Oh, by the way, it's grammar, not grammer. ;)

Antony Trollope says in 'Eustace Diamonds' that he feels in a lot of professions, experience creates more competent people than mere learning. (Rough paraphrase). In other words, you don't get to be truly competent unless you

the culprit is not the sun-- but overdoing it. If you overdrink water, it is fatal, too. The sun is responsible for benefiting over 200 processes in the body. And you don't need to be out in the sun all day to get the benefits (if your

I'm reading Trollope these days. There's a massive difference between the two authors. Trollope is more psychological, focused on relationship dynamics (at least in the books I've read so far, such as "He knew he was rig

Eh... I don't think a man capable of such poetry to be that asshole. He says as much in the second preface. I think he may have used the narrator in the first part of the novel as his own mouthpiece.

have you tried 'A hero of our time' by Lermontov. Upon reading it, I felt really sorry the author died an early death. I have not felt like that about any other European author.

Appreciate it :)

Thank you very much! I love book discussions and especially by someone like you (and Keller, who in the dedication to his Pascal book has: "to my father, who taught me the importance of learning, and to my mother, who taught me the imp

care to share the name of the said book?

Thank you for your book. It was exactly what has been missing in Ruby landscape and what I wanted. BTW<, also, nice last name. :)

It seems the author left in a hurry because he had a lot of new laborious and menial tasks to attend to. :)

That you are using ad hominem (indirectly) proves I am right-- otherwise you would have used counter-arguments with details.

Exactly. Also, it doesn't even mention the fact that when a crop becomes dis-organic (or unorganic), it's no longer food since the taste and texture changes somewhat. The change of taste is a good indicator that you're eating

whats so excellent about it? i tried their ruby, swift and python tracks and i was left with a meh. i tried 30% of the Ruby path for instance and its just "do this" and " if you get stuck here are the docs".... and it ca

I agree. It is human slop and as soon as it said REDDIT, I was like oh come on, I don't even use Reddit.

My experience tells me. You are disagreeing with me, but you don't give negative vibes in your comment. The other comment sounded too negative: << I lost all interest >> << why would I bother >> << puttin

what's so good about it? I bought it as well, but I have yet to start it (I'm stuck in some other books for now).

what a beautifully written essay! no AI can write it like this. the same will apply to software. You just wait and see the day when disclaimers like 'No AI involved' would be a signal of high quality, especially for software on wh

:) I use Python as well-- so i am not anti-Pythonic in any strict sense. However, I don't like culltification of technology, be it Python or whatever else. Have you tried F#? It gave me a very good experience.

Thanks, that makes sense. I agree.
