Try therapy and, if necessary, medication. Both of those have completely turned my life around. Things are still shitty sometimes (esp. during Covid), but way better than a few years ago.

The classification is done because rogue planets etc. tell us things about the process of solar system and planetary formation. Yeah nature tends to have a continuum of things, but the classifications are primarily used as place holders so that people know what everyone's talking about.

I think emergence and complexity are important topics here. It's important that we actually understand how the pieces come together though. Maybe that's a place for functional programming/logic and frameworks that make composition easy

Wonderful!!! Can you point me to any textbooks/resources that go into more depth on this (or if that's too specific, dynamical systems in general at the early graduate level)?

Something I've had trouble finding resources for is how to apply probabilistic/Bayesian techniques and thinking to chaotic dynamical systems. People keep telling me "Look up MCMC" but I don't see the relevance to dynamical systems (further than the notion that you can maybe sample from them with MCMC somehow?)

Anyone care to compare this to Clojurescript?

Hy got my attention a while ago but I haven't played with it yet. Would you find yourself turning back to Python due to missing/annoying features? And is there an easy way to turn your code into a Python script so your co-workers can read it? :D

Leisure time etc. is very important to creativity and productivity as well. There's a lot of studies that I'm too lazy to link to, but you can find them pretty easily.

From what I understand, this relates closely to the "Lisp Curse"

People have been floating the idea of doing this for the life sciences too, where the cost of performing an experiment can be very high (animals, enzymes, local permitting and legal considerations etc. on top of the man hours). It would be very useful to see the results of an experiment you want to do(or something resembling it) but didn't follow up on it for whatever reason and would definitely accelerate research. And would probably help with the weird incentive structure and secrecy issues academia is pointlessly built around.

Under any other administration I'd support this (i still do, provided the motivation is legitimate anti-trust concerns). But it's pretty obvious that the cheeto prince just doesn't want his hate speech banned or his dissidents having a platform.
