It just shows how globalized history is, and somehow really cosmopolitan. William the Conqueror was fighting at the battle of Hastings Harold, who's mother was Danish. We know the history because of a Medieval chronicler that was from

Oh wow, cool. Thanks for the explanation. This is very stimulating as a concept, I will dig deeper then. Actually, this can be quite productive as a research strategy.

This reminds of the concept of D.I.E. that we use in the social sciences, describe, interpret, and evaluate. It is important to separate the stages clearly, because if you interpret while describing, this taints your observations. Evaluate

Later they came to be called the Greeks mostly by the Latins, to kind of steal the legacy, i.e. you're not Roman, you're Greek. But for the Ottomans it was always Rum (Roman), even now it is more Istanbulite to call the "Euro

Roman, because that's how the Greeks named themselves at the time of the Sasanian Empire, being the time of Romania (a.k.a. the Byzantine Empire).

lol, that's why I am doing my PhD in management. I figured this out early on. Humans are hard, the emerging social problems are hard.

I love Lisp, but the quotes, and the structure ... Markup really shines here. Sorry. Same with JsonML, even though I never heard of it before, and will have a look because it just sounds so interesting.

Sometimes I just don't really see it as a competition. For my research work often XML is a markup, which JSON is not. If I want to qualitative code a text, this is perfectly doable by hand: <note> <paragraph>This is

I am German, maybe this makes the difference. We define science as an object of study, with the basic distinction between natural sciences, which can be explained, and the human sciences that have to be understood. The social sciences enhan

I might be misunderstanding you, exactly because I am a social scientist, and we have different kind of vocabulary. Maybe a definition by group instead of an understanding of reality that differs. Your approach looks to me more like what th

This is actually why we have in the social sciences the concept of abduction. Finding out something that defies the rules, where new rules have to be created. In deduction, you have a type, and infer the tokens. For induction, you have toke

Aren't Single Page Applications implementing most of the ideas? Sending programs (Javascript), and objects (JSON). I think we moved already to very different formats than print, for better or worse, i.e. endless streams vs. a limited p

Okay, there are some great pianists. But not many that can organize a show. It was a bit tongue in cheek, but so many are feeling entitled and have no business skills.

As with programming, I think you really need a certain drive. My little sister was supported to learn an instrument, but I took it and taught it myself, mostly to impress my family. Then on I played in bands, and I am still a musician. And

I think the equation changed recently. Many more gigs, because so less people are playing an instrument to a certain level nowadays. Here in Hamburg Germany (with a population of 1.8m) there are maybe like two good pianists. It's actua

That is also a big flaw in the study. Personality is very much dependent on context. So they measured disagreeability (1) as part of their extra-credit course work, and (2) as a follow-up. To really get into the work environment, either one

Depends on the language, but when you have to use some metaprogramming gymnastics, then types are really hindering to develop something generically, if the language doesn't provide a fully developed type systems, which few systems have

I love it that it concludes with what is called abduction in my field of academia. So in general you would have deduction, you reason from a set of principles, or induction, you reason from specific instances towards the principles. Abducti

Yes, and even though a lot of tech companies killed the architect role, this is exactly the job function assigned to architects, or more specifically enterprise architects in a lot of more traditional companies.

Sounds irrational, but it looks much more beautiful for me. My brain says, you should like Haskell, mirroring my experience that static languages with a strong type system are much better for big projects. But my heart knows, I would always

for me, systems theory is a potent heir of cybernetics, and thriving. at least in my field the management sciences. especially with new incarnations incorporating new materialism, or the actor network theory.

I am blushing, because I have org mode open with my OKRs nicely tree-structured, and open tasks underneath. And, and, I giant mess of real-world task on top, that I don't know how to structure, but are somehow part of my job.
