I get what you mean (and agree w.r.t. math/code) but notably, I think appreciation for a lot of things still accumulates if you put in the work.

As an amateur violist, I can attest that I gained a totally new appreciation for most of the pieces I've studied and played in an orchestra in the past.

This not only includes "unknown" classical music from different eras, but also the obvious (popular) candidates like Beethoven's 6th, Dvořak's 9th and Grieg's "Peer Gynt" suites.

And there's a lot of great music one needs to get into first; for expample: I love Tool songs exactly for that, and there are certainly more obscure artists :)

So, I suspect the thing about maths and code is mainly just caused by the fact that people can go through life just fine without really interacting with them on the level required to develop the smallest bit of "taste" (as opposed to e.g. music).

It sadly doesn't go back further than the 1960s. If you select Western Europe, the number seems to be falling (back from almost 100kg, though). USA, not so much.

Note though that for what your parent describes, you'd want numbers to go even further back, then you could likely see the whole effect of post-WW2 boom; though WW2 itself would obviously also extremely skew the data in the 40s.

Here I am, brain the size of a planet and they ask me to take you down to the bridge. Call that job satisfaction? ’Cos I don’t.

But I've also seen my fair share of "trains in this direction won't recover for hours" over the years, and directly after such an incident, the official systems usually don't really adapt all that well. I don't know if they're "massaged" manually after that or if it's just a case of the entire system finally figuring out that an entire station is FUBARed, not only one or two scheduled connections…

The SBB timetable app and website can become really unhelpful if there has been an "accident involving a person" [0]; other than that, I've got little issues with them day to day.

But it seems your model doesn't have a way to know that the IC from Biel to Olten goes through Grenchen (it only presents the obvious routes that wouldn't work in this case).

But I suspect the positive opinion on Lua stem more from the standardized environment the language is built around (i.e. how it is embedded into applications): If you don't explicitly pass capabilities like file handling etc. into the script, it CANNOT use them. Sooo many scripting languages get this wrong, it's actually embarassing.

Edit: Also, if you're looking for earworms and like loopy melodies, check out David Fenn's Soundtrack for Moonlighter: https://davidfennmusic.bandcamp.com/album/moonlighter

Especially "Macadamia Mayhem" and "Restless Roots" tend to follow me around for hours each time I revisit the album :)

…should make for an interesting SCP story :)

This reminds me of "Youth without God" by Ödön von Horváth:
