More, of course. But better? Percentage-wise, unlikely.

I know, it's confusing, but "film" is also synonymous with "movie" (especially widely used as such outside the US).

> They're pure math, and the agreement with nature Sure, as far as the math is concerned, it appears that there is no need for "classical objects." But physics is not (and has never been) "pure math," which i

Thank god - I wouldn't want to see the reality fall apart.

Well, for one thing, for such quantity to make physical sense, both the real part and the imaginary part should be of the same dimension, e.g. "length." Also, the result of a measurement is supposed to come from (be an eigenvalue

Except that this is only true when Newton's laws can be reasonably applied at all. In many (most?) quantum situations Newton's laws are completely nonsensical (while, conversely, in most classical situations QM is plain useless).

My recent experience reviving an old DOS laptop with a serial port is consistent with this.

Sure, but like what they say about Lisp, you are then bound to reinvent the complex numbers, poorly.

But who/what are you calling "idiot" and why? I would never think of calling that a plain HDTV set - it is still a technological marvel (and also would have all kinds of "smarts" built in anyway, just no apps or wif

I am not sure if "powerful" matters in this context though. (That is, I expect the chipsets built into TVs to be plenty powerful for their intended purpose.)

But isn't a dumb TV + Apple TV pretty much the same as a smart TV? (I know, you avoid dealing with two "smarts," but still...)

I find Lisp more than any other programming language suited to be the host language for a DSL. It is also easy to represent hierarchical and flat data formats with it.
