searching and ranking existing fragments and recombining them within well known paths is one thing, exploratively combining existing fragments to completely novel solutions quickly runs into combinatorial explosion. so it's a great too

to bad that typography doesn't care. other languages are hit by the same hard destiny. German language has öäüÖÄÜ and ßẞ, yet typographically, the only "real" letter of these is ßẞ, the others are "Umlaut" aouAOU. L

new languages are created to push the boundaries for manageable essential complexity, by reducing "accidental" complexity. clojure's data structures for example enable simpler concurrent work on stupid enterprise data. howeve

"extreme right" is a super set of "nazi". Putin is extreme right and not a nazi. Netanjahu is considered right extreme, certainly he is not a nazi. the list goes on.

is "total immersion" still the name of that method? where you learn target language basics during the first and only bilingual week, and then you force yourself to only use the target language with the help of a printed booklet?

oh. thanks for clarifying. I'd thought the irony lies in some image of being anti-scientific. the fun thing, ironic itself, about dismissing religion in it's entirety is that most religions have long understood that G'd can&

the strict binary is a world view, not science. scientifically, biological sex in humans follows a bimodal distribution with few but not zero data points between the two modes. and these are not just one single third data point but a numb

my point is: biological sex follows a bimodal distribution with some in-between data points that are not trivially assignable to one or the other pole, called "intersex" humans. they are a biological, medical reality, and they th

The word you're looking for is "bimodal distribution". The spectrum of sex characteristics is a bimodal distribution with two peaks. and the vast majority of all humans fall close to one of the two peaks peaks. however, they
