Maybe this is just me, but I like that I can decouple the way I organize my file system from the way users access my site. And with that comes the ability to get rid of file extensions and make urls more human-friendly. Remember, not every

ok, perhaps I misunderstood your point. Are you arguing that conservative politics is imploding because of anti-intellectualism, and that a wide study of history is the solution? What historical examples can be drawn upon to salvage it? Is

You really think we can accurately determine people's paths by age 12?? It's more likely the determination ends up as a proxy for whose parents were rich enough to [stay at home to / pay for someone to] train their kids to ge

Interesting essay, written by Polybius, an ancient Greek historian from two millennia ago. As the title suggests, he argued that it is necessary to take a comparative view of history to reap the most benefit from its study. I like the analo

With all due respect, college admissions have drastically changed over the past forty to fifty years!

I agree with you from an academic standpoint! Maybe my comment was too harsh, I think surrounding yourself with PHD researchers and graduate students counts as challenging and pushing yourself. But it's more fun when the people pushing

> They select for math ability, it just so happens that students with access to great resources get better at math than those without them. So we just throw our hands up and lament that those without preexisting opportunities stay down?

Fascinating biographical article of Satyendra Nath Bose and his early contributions to quantum mechanics. Always love to hear stories behind great scientists / scientific discoveries. In particular, one thing I learned is that Bose pos

Not really, superdeterminism postulates that the measurement outcomes are guaranteed. Here, you could imagine the universe as being operated on by some giant Hamiltonian operator with a basis of eigenstates, and then the amplitudes will jus
