The fact that you think a lisp machine is an "extremely large aspect of modern software engineering" certainly makes me feel that you are expressing an attachment to a particular approach.

>Java and C++ tend to have exploding codebase size because of the proliferation of types, which cause the M * N explosion. I think haskell and friends demonstrate that your explanation for java and C++ "exploding" is incorrect.

99% of the hinting I've seen people "need" was not needed at all, it was just the lazy way to temporarily work around a bad query plan. Other than actual bugs in the query planner, I can't even invent a hypothetical sce

While I agree that the "how hard is it to find an X developer" complaint is overblown, I think you are going too far. I can't just find a "good developer" and have them start working on a haskell project. They nee

Why do you guess that? I don't think there is any correlation between GUI vs terminal and cognitive load. There are simple terminal apps, and simple GUI apps. There are also complex and difficult to use terminal apps and GUI apps.

No, because rohypnol doesn't cause a person to choose to do something they would otherwise not do. It causes the person to have amnesia and not remember what happened. To be a reasonable analogy, this app would need to automatically

Go ask some college aged women about it and see what you find. Ignorance of the effects of alcohol is incredibly widespread. Thousands of women a year swear they had their drink spiked but actually just got black-out drunk. Convincing wo

But you just repeated the same thing. Again, I am not suggesting "stop date rape by preventing people from knowingly drinking alcohol" should be a goal. I am saying these devices are harmful. They have the opposite effect from

by asdasf 13y ago
The point was not that we need to detect alcohol. The point was that these things are counter productive to the goal of preventing date rape.

They appear to be begging the question. The statutes in question do not say that drinking negates consent, they say that it is rape if someone is too drunk to consent. You have to look at precedent to try to determine what constitutes &qu

That's exactly it though, lots of people "experience" being roofied, and then are tested and it turns out they were not. Our "common sense" judgments on situations like this are actually incredibly unreliable. >

There is a big difference. Visible means you can see that "contingent" existing. Talked about means they don't actually exist, but people always refer to them as though they do exist.
