I'm not that versed in the subject, but my (dilettante) guess is that our own behavior may affect the fauna of our digestive microbes by consuming spicy food, alcohol, having nicotine in blood, or through other unhealthy habits.

As you realized, beauty is relative (to ugliness). I can't quite grasp how you missed this relative aspect by going further with your assumption of "everyone is beautiful". People will always find distinctions and there alway

If people would judge a tool on its technical merits, that may be true. However, a lot of people that adopted git hardly needed/used git's improvements (in their one man projects).

I guess they also might had some math tricks that made it easy, tricks that you may now count as another "art" lost. But then would you try to rediscover some art about how some people dealt with something imperfect (because they

"when I have umpteen Manager objects, I then need a ManagerManager" Actually, when this happens it only makes sense for you to get inspired from the real world again and end up designing a hierarchy called "bureaucracy"!

You wrongly assume here that your C code will have to run on a stack machine.

Actually, Tesla and SpaceX are outliers. They are not so much natural offspring of our time as are the outcome of an ambitious person with resources. They started in a desert. There weren't really neither a serious market for them¹ nor

"Android contains the only Linux component - the kernel" Well, only the kernel IS actually Linux. A Linux-kernel based *nix OS in itself, which is usually wrongly assumed as Linux, is not in fact Linux (or not quite). In this rega

The technology is evolving in that way, sort of. We have tools for content analysis and one of such analysis is text summarization. It would be extremely useful if text summarizators would become developed enough to be of any practical use.

"The lack of opt-out is annoying" No, the lack of opt-out is suspect, and in this context the claimed "need for telemetry" is plain intelligence-insulting! What really is sought in this sadistic game from their part is t

I'm not sure I understand the value of having tools to "downgrade" something to a lower level. I compare this "downgrading" with "compiling to C" - a feature that enables some languages to become useful on

That's the aim, but the circle of developers working on it is not that wide and even at the level of Windows 2003 (the project's compatibility aim) there already was a pretty large surface of binary compatibility to be covered. Ma
