Well, but if you need to define the gradient, curl and divergence and every term in the equations, the typical representation would be more than 20 lines. So I think that it's a fair comparison.

Those books are great. They are my favorite GA books (together with Hestenes' papers). I just wanted to add that he also has wonderful youtube videos. And I also agree with that 100 years prediction. I'm even trying to do my part

Sorry, but I don't get your point. I think that, independently of the original meaning of the parable (which is not at all what we are discussing here), it indeed is a nice example of having to accept the terms you negotiated without l

If some bank tells me I have to use certain app to make business with them, it's my choice to do it or not, but they are not violating my freedom. And I find saying this is an "extreme violation of your freedom" insulting for

In which kind of bubble do you live where not making web apps available for your clients is seen as an extreme violation of freedom? As long as it is possible to go to the bank to do whatever you need to do, I do not think politicians have

There is an active discussion about this on in the issue tracker: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/41716 It looks like there is a willingness to do this, but not a clear solution yet.

There is some low hanging fruit in that department. To begin with, properly isolating old buildings would make a huge difference. But I agree it won't be easy.

Having high aspirations for your rock band is perfectly fine, but designing the album cover and the poster for the world tour when you only play some covers from other bands is probably not the best way to make yourself a name in the scene.

The choice was not that. Well, actually, it was, kind of, but it was not presented like that at the time. A Russian-style revolution was not the best perspective for the bourgeoisie, who wanted to keep their properties and their heads. The

You are taking an extremely theoretical point of view. There is also no theoretical limit in the number of cars we can produce, for example. I would even say that it is easier to produce a new car than a great idea.

The jet colormap is horrible, I hate it with a passion, and I know its deficiencies when compared with properly designed colormaps. But I use it all the time. In certain fields (eg FEM applied to mechanical engineering), it's just one

Geometric algebra and Clifford algebras are technically the same thing. The difference is that the term geometric algebra is generally used to refer to the work of David Hestenes, while Clifford algebra is used in more formal settings. Davi

Or you could store all your music files in the sd card and store playlists in the floppies. Then, inserting a disk would only be a fancy (and wonderfully inconvenient) way of choosing what to play.

Not at all. Try to write equations using English words instead of "cryptic characters" and think which is more expressive, eg: a) a*(b+c) = a*b + a*c b) equal(multiply(a, add(b, c)), add(multiply(a, b), multiply(a, c)))
