That's cool! I don't know much about chemistry or metallurgy. I can see a connection from making gold for real to alchemy to chemistry. So perhaps gold is partially responsible for creating science? If for no other reason than its

It was meant to be tongue-in-cheek. Gold has some nice useful properties, but it seems the properties that have mattered most to people throughout the millenia are 1) it has a pleasing color, and 2) it's hard to come by.

I took a (mandatory for cs) class in college that introduced these concepts. For a long time I thought that was a normal part of cs curriculums, but it seems not. Also, its very strange to see these concepts illustrated with Javascript. I i

In my limited experience with the enterprise world, the problem with using stored procedures was that the devs had no control over the database. We could have come up with some nicer solutions to certain problems, but no one wanted to deal

Along the same lines, imaginary numbers are no more or less imaginary than real numbers.

That's an apples to oranges comparison, though. Mud bricks are a good building material, and so are a lot of other things (e.g. wood, bamboo, paper), when the structure only has to support itself and a roof. But concrete enables struct

The only salient point this article mentions (but only briefly) is that concrete production generates a huge amount of CO2. Everything else is hogwash. In terms of strength, versatility, and cost, steel-reinforced concrete has proven to be

I see your point. Learning how to reason effectively in higher and higher levels of abstraction can be daunting; however, it can pay off very well. Ask a mathematician about the set of interesting problems that can be visualized and they wi

This question seems to be loaded with the implication that haskell isn't useful because there aren't many applications written with it. I don't think this is a fair judgememt. For example, how many apps are written in Cobol?
