You are attacking a strawman. I did not claim that diversity is a sufficient condition for progressive values, I did not even claim that it's a necessary condition. There are many sets of values that will go together to create a "

Not quite, polymorphism is a bit iffy in Go (there is interface, and it's doable but not great). Type inference is extremely limited (this is also due to a weak type system, with comparison point being ML-family languages for examples)

Another easier comparison for anyone not familiar with how good 2:45 marathon is (like me). Right now current programs are around ~2500 ELO in chess, or about the weaker part of most International Grandmaster in chess.

You have to wash your hand in both cases. And from experience, I do not think using toilet paper means that I used less water and soap when washing my hand. Also, if you think it's gross then this is what you're looking for: http

Yep, I don't know what Trump will lead US into (and I don't think it will necessary be worse than any other president in this day and age). But any mainstream candidate from GOP or Democrat will certainly lead to more TPP.

Out of curiosity, how old was your advisor at the time (ie is he in his mid career at his peak, toward the end or is he on the younger side etc.)? And is the gap in capability just because of his experience, or is he just a much better scie

That's a good sound bite statement but does not really follow from the original post, nor seems to be very accurate. What exactly is the relation between a chef work and a programmer, and what is the equivalent of recipe in programming

I think the tricky thing about #4 is essentially just the leaky abstraction issue. Each one of us is working and building on mainly one layer of abstractions. It helps our puny human mind to comprehend and visualize whatever limited functio
