> The stupidity with wich we argue for retaining useless jobs is baffling. You are calling it an argument in defence of the status quo yet from the article it is merely a statement of fact. And it is a vital fact that could in couple of

Simplicity first. How do you start thinking of a complicated data model when collecting one sample is nearly 100 million dollars? A good data model develops when you know what questions you want to ask of the data. Looking back and expectin

The point of the article (and the paper on which it is based) is to infer the existence of a limit. The method of inference is not by pure logic, rather it is partly probabilistic. That is what you have to be comfortable with because all pr

ReST can be better extended without creating a variant of the markup language [1]. Extension support is first class [2], and it is by that means that a good number of the core features are implemented. [1] For example, github flavour, stack

Gnuplot interface is a little dated, so custom visualisations are not so easy yet many disciplines today have a bunch of them. This should not have been a problem but it is because the gnuplot licence makes it unforkable and that discourage

The news is on github, it specialises in everything git and on the git subject they can choose to shine the light wherever and it will not be out-of-place. Maybe you could limit the criticism to the fact that it has been submitted to HN

I think you are not considering that before the domestication of plants, even if "food was growing around you all year long", it had low caloric content. The key measure is the cost of getting them calories. There are rough thresh

Given time, a hash enough environment is going to select for phenotypes despite the quality of the genetic variation. That has to happen or the group dies off [1]. That is the point of the phase "I don't think it matters much&quot

I don't think it matters much the "small subset of human genes left Africa". More crucial is that the African landscape is quite varied and not too harsh. Almost everywhere south of the Sahara a small tribe could eke out a li

You are arguing for a more formal and rigorous statement because it would have certain advantages. You should also note that a less formal and less rigorous communication as a rhetorical strategy has it's own advantages. So unless you

I agree with the article that it does limit your vocabulary. For example, writers (and comedians) play with words, phrases, sentences and paragraphs. Playing with paragraphs is a lot harder than playing with words. If you take the word and

If there are no agreed upon proposals, then why implement solutions if their utility would still be inadequate. It is not enough to demand perfect solutions, there must be perfect proposals.

There is Python, then there is the tooling around Python. Virtual environments constitute tooling around Python. Sometimes aspects of the tooling become indispensable and they are adopted as part of the standard library -- see venv. You may

The sand only moves if it is light. When the weather and climate changes, the make up of the sand changes and so does the way it moves. It is a complicated process and it would definitely have some surprises.
