This might just be a word choice thing, I think I took issue with it being labeled the answer -- Schoenberg didn't want it to be considered definitive, but merely useful. An overarching theme of the book was his philosophy that no et

While it's an interesting derivation, Schoenberg was eager to explain that his book was about teaching practical skills and understanding. He prefaced his derivation with the statement: "Therefore, whenever I theorize, it is less

Anecdata: the older pianists and organists who I know are doing well, and it isn't because they are better at catching themselves when they fall.

Though Haskell isn't a lisp, the book Haskell School of Music teaches it by exploring the authors' Euterpea music library. https://www.euterpea.com

What if the coin's bias changes from flip to flip, perhaps influenced by its earlier results? Is there a solution for this?

One idea: just show the statistics of unverified commits, demarcated as such, in the user’s profile. This is a more transparent variation on the current behavior.

This is why I see PureScript as a better starting point. It was modeled after Haskell, but since it was created in 2013, many of the design choices were to avoid these sorts of things.

It's incredible to me that fossils can be linked to the specific day or so of the impact.

Sugar is great because it quickly converts to energy, but its benefit doesn’t always increase with the amount consumed.

Any relationship between optical character recognition and "deblurring" images into characters or words that the system recognizes?

This reasoning depends on how much effort has gone into the two goals. Cancer therapies are a proven business model, so a lot of R&D funding has been poured into searching for them. I'm not sure how comparably much has gone into sl

Imperative languages, most recently JavaScript. One thing that comes to mind is how elegantly this book uses Haskell data types to define pitch classes and total functions for them. The abstraction techniques made me confident in the abstra

This is the book that I used to learn Haskell. I had written music programs in other languages before reading the book, and I was able to appreciate that the Haskell code turned out much nicer.

Bringing this to the article, the authors are outside that consensus. They believe that Crohn's is an immune response directed toward a bacterium, rather than toward the self. The hypothesis in the paper is that Crohn's isn't

So, a bacterium called Y. pseudotuberculosis is suspected in the paper at the top of this thread, and one called M. avium ssp. paratuberculosis is suspected by the group at your link.

Is this no longer an unproven hypothesis? My impression was there’s just a lot of correlation evidence.

You have good points here for scientific understanding vs cultural in general. I wasn’t specific enough. The planets formed as cultural concepts in the sense that they were absolutely divorced from tangible experience other than in their ro

At risk of maybe going too far on a tangent, I understand this idea and the species example is a good one. The planets are different because they were first defined as mystical and cultural concepts, before they could be understood as scien

The sufficient-but-not-necessary conditions for identifying a planet are called into question as a workable definition once more. We’ve duck-typed the solar system, I guess.

On the other hand, astrology is decentralized and requires individuals to find their own values, and to actively interpret the meaning of things they read. I find that being this engaged with something enhances critical and creative thinkin

Many consider astrology to be a creative and self-reflective process. Definitely would want to hear technical ideas from that kind of person. In any case, it’s up to the reader to decide where they will look for ideas and what they find val

A useful comparison. I have never taken Tamiflu because I know I’d need to haul my weak, shivering, flu-infected self through public to see a doctor to get the Rx, go to the pharmacy… all for the personally-uncertain benefit of Tamiflu. Now

I wonder if they run into issues selling by weight. Customers are usually paying more for the visual size, not however much water a particular item has in it. Does the weight increase linearly with size? If it’s especially hollow, probably
