Government cares about "looking" like they are doing the right thing. Because they want to get public support.

Then there is corruption. But I will say that's a secondary issue. Anyways, I am pretty sure once govt changes were I am from, former politicians will find a job easily in pharma. Again this is secondary and will always happen.

How does your mental model change that much from where the operator goes?

Can't you put node to right of a column of children? Like you would do on a piecewise function.

I am dislexic, maybe that's why I do not see your point.

I do not like PNR any better or worse. It takes me about 5 minutes to switch from lisps to others and back. I just put the parens in the wrong place a couple of times and I am done.

Paredit + PNR makes editing slightly more comfy, but that's it. They are the same thing.

Intuitiveness/duficult is of the object.

I am yet to find whether they really dislike or just find it unfamiliar.

I am convinced that unfamiliar gets conflated with unintuitive and hard all the time.

It's not some abstract evil ideal that drives the market. It's people doing purchases.

Now, good markets need good (perfect to be precise) information. If people knew this is where we would end up (say most production moved to Asia), would they have made different choices (say to preserve manufacturing in US EU with better worker conditions)?

I would argue our economic system is just fine. But we fail in political, educational and ethical issues. Especially ethical, people know about horrible conditions in sweatshops, still there are massive queues to shop at low cost brands. I feel clothing as the most egregious, because there are decent alternative choices.

It's usually outside the scope of functions, since you are likely going to want to reuse those declarations. For example, you can use spec to generate test cases for something like quick-check.

You can add pre and post conditions to clojure function's metadata that test wether the spec complies with the function's input/output.

The issue is selective pressure. Yes, the virus will mutate. But under an mRNA vaccine, only the spike protein needs to mutate for the vaccine to be render useless. In other words: mutating the spike protein will give the virus access to very broad unimmunized population.

Up to that it makes perfect sense to me and my limited evolutionary knowledge. I can't tell wether is right or wrong. But it makes sense.

He goes further saying that antibodies from vaccines are more affine to the virus, even with mutated spike protein, this compromises the natural immune system, given it will try to fight off infection with useless vaccine-learnt antibodies rather than with natural antibodies. This will make the virus more deadly.

This seems off to me. I can't see the logic, but I will be happy to be corrected. How can something be ignored by the virus and be more affine to it?

Again, he says that all these issues are solved with his vaccine, once he finishes it.

When I learn a new language, I like learning something else in the way, because language learning tends to be samey once you have gone through a couple. This book was right up my alley, cause you get a sense of language design and the very basics of C.

After reading the book I managed to write some cli programs in C, modifying someone else's code.

The main caveat about the book: It Is an introduction in both it's topics. I know the bare minimum of C and I could not design a language. Yes, the lisp you build... Well I would not use for anything.

But is well written and it has exercises, and I believe exercises is how you learn.

I use spreadsheets but oftentimes they are not the right tool for the job.

I've had a look at your tool and I think is great. It greatly complements Lingua Latina and it is an essential tool for someone going through the traditional path of learning latin.

I wish I had something like this when I was learning latin in highschool. Furthermore, anything that helps disseminate classics is great in my view.

Thanks for your contribution!

But you only need familia romana. Everything else is cherry on top, extremely useful if you want to write latin and it will help your learning a lot. However if you are strapped for cash, are not interested in writing, don't have lots of time, want to jump quickly into reading the Bible... Just go with familia romana.

Furthermore op is giving lots of exercises, so that makes exercitia less relevant.

But at the end of the day is your money and your choice. I am happy I have Roma Aeterna, but I did not finish it, and I read medieval works quite fluently. I just wanted to put that info out so everyone can make their best buying choice.
