Emotions have a purpose - disgust to keep us away, love to keep us together, lust to procreate, fear to chase us from danger. Without a purpose for an emotion, it's hard to see why these would happen. And maybe their emotions would be baffling to us because their world is so alien.

It is questionable if it's universally innate, there being many atheists, but now you've explained it I can see your point.
Have to say you used some ill-focussed or ill-expressed arguments which is why I have been repeatedly chasing you for an explanation. Take that as you will. But thanks for clarifying.

Ok, points taken, except with 'China and Soviet state official atheism'. I don't see the relevance to either trade or sex.

Not sure if relevant but dram refreshes continuously.

Strange comment - nobody was suggesting banning trade (even weirder about banning sex).

I'm not an expert but I'm pretty sure there were wide exchanges of peoples happened thousands of years earlier (eg. stonehenge burials came from a wide range of europe - this from memory).

<<
The ancestors of the people who built Stonehenge travelled west across the Mediterranean before reaching Britain, a study has shown.
Researchers compared DNA extracted from Neolithic human remains found across Britain with that of people alive at the same time in Europe.
The Neolithic inhabitants were descended from populations originating in Anatolia (modern Turkey) that moved to Iberia before heading north.
They reached Britain in about 4,000BC.
Details have been published in the journal Nature Ecology & Evolution.
The migration to Britain was just one part of a general, massive expansion of people out of Anatolia in 6,000BC that introduced farming to Europe

Not being flippant, but some MDMA. It makes a huge difference to my quality of life if used occasionally.

> The hash idea works even in mutable land
Uh, how? Other than removing it from the dictionary, mutating it then adding it back.

Contact the people who designed and used Lisp machines and get their very, very expert take. Many are still alive.

RPN is forth not lisp, and I seriously doubt HP got their idea from emacs. I think HP's RPN precedes the first release of emacs anyway. Edit: 1st release of emacs was 1976 so I take that last bit back.

DB 'expert' here - agree completely. It's about profiling then banging your head against it and learning more from books/the docs/web. That's really it.

I don't want to diss this, it's useful to some but to say "Your database knowledge is outdated" is presumptuous to the point of insulting. It's basic to intermediate level stuff, like using CTEs to break up queries (and you don't discuss how this can overload the optimiser), and doing multiple aggs in one select.
I also can't C&P from your pages as they're images, but Ghost Conditions Against Unindexed Columns has '... AND type = in (3, 6, 11)' - is that right or did you mean 'type in (...)'. It also talks about multi-col indexes as being more useful in some cases, true, but very elementary.
This is good and well done, but please don't oversell it.

It was exceedingly narrow to the point that the first cavers chosen there were small women iirc.
