I guess an interesting counterpoint to what I said is something like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phantom_time_conspiracy_theory (and similar) where a grandiose framework tries to fit inconvenient facts into a shape that is entirely invented.

There is limited time, of course - no one can learn everything, but you can pay attention to the important facts, and the connections between them.

In some ideal world you would learn every fact there is, and the connections would fall out on their own, but in the real world we have to construct theories and frameworks to organise facts.

Facts alone are like pebbles on a beach, far better (IMO) to have a few stones mortared with understanding to make a building of knowledge. A fanciful metaphor but you know ...

The query engine itself is like a DAG of 'operators', similar to a relational DB (or more like a graph one) with scanners, filters, and matchers.

Very fun, although not at all efficient and probably overengineered for what it does :)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_cyanide - 107 ppm (human, 10 min)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_sulfide - 600 ppm (human, 30 min)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_monoxide - 4000 ppm (human, 30 min)

These are "LCLo" values from the databoxes on those pages. More easily comparable numbers may be around somewhere.

The reason why I was looking was to do query planning for a declarative pattern-finding in atomic structures (hierarchical labelled graphs, I suppose) although I'm slowly realising just how insanely hard it might be to get it to work efficiently!

You can definitely hurt someone's feeling with unconstructive criticism of thier art. However, pointing out areas to improve should not be too painful to the artist, as they can make newer, better works.

I suppose a difficuly can arise if people get too attached to things they make (art, code, writing, whatever) and don't see any one thing as just a step on the road to even better things.

Like Cp--M--Cp where the '--' are an unusual kind of 'bond' which is somewhat like five carbon-metal bonds, although I'm sure there is a more accurate orbital description of the interaction.

If we are going to have a dystopia, lets make it fun, at least...

An alternative that occurred to me the other day is, could a PR be broken down into separate changes? As in, break it into a) a commit renaming a variable b) another commit making the functional change c) ...

Feel like there are PR analysis tools out there already for this :)

Seems like it was more complex than that :

> Authors have debated whether witch trials were more intense in Catholic or Protestant regions; however, the intensity had not so much to do with Catholicism or Protestantism, as both regions experienced a varied intensity of witchcraft persecutions.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Witch_trials_in_the_early_mode...

Then :

> The Witch Trials of Trier took place in the independent Catholic diocese of Trier in the Holy Roman Empire in present day Germany ... Between 1587 and 1593, 368 people were burned alive for sorcery in twenty-two villages, and in 1588, two villages were left with only one female inhabitant in each

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trier_witch_trials

However:

> The son of a Puritan minister, Hopkins began his career as a witch-finder in March 1644 and lasted until his retirement in 1647. Hopkins and his colleague John Stearne sent more accused people to be hanged for witchcraft than all the other witch-hunters in England of the previous 160 years From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_Hopkins

Note that in Scotland and England, witches were hanged, not burned.

The other details are fascinating, though - the intersection of mechanical, crystallographic, and RF (?) properties of a crystal that you can adjust through abrasives and selection of the cut.

Like a 'news periodical', shall we say.

The idea iiuc, is that pattern formation in animals depends on molecules diffusing through the growing system (the body) and reacting where the waves of molecules overlap.

I agree that there is a lot of vague language around the practice of mathematics as a social and philosophical construct ('analysts' vs 'synthetics') but I'm not sure how that indicates the author does not understand what truth is. My understanding of the history of mathematics and science is that these areas of knowledge were much more intertwined with philosophy and religion than they are considered to be today.

So Newton saw no issue with working on the calculus at the same time as being an alchemist and a non-trinitarian. Understanding the world was often a religious activity - by understanding Nature, you understood God's creation - and in Naples it seems that understanding analysis was tied to certain political and nationalist ideas.

Do as you wish, however I doubt this will have the effect you want here.
