What a wonderful convesation!

A couple of objections @zensaiyuki:

1) reading and writing are not "unnatural", they are "natural to the humans" or at least "as natural as humans".

So I'd argue that the asyncronous comunication that writing (and painting before) enabled was fundamental to human evolution so much that we could consider humans as being shaped from it.

So I'm not surprised that programming and written languages are so tightly coupled: writing is the most precise and effective async comunication system we have, designed over several thousands years.

2) #Mathematics is not "a natural feature of the landscape" but a byproduct of human brain's evolution: different species would have different #Math and #Logic and see it as "the language of the Universe", "a natural feature of the landscape" and so on.

Brand new #SmartPhone models from my daughters' #hacklab. They built the safest system money can't buy, the only one a child should be allowed to use.

And note the App selection for their operating system: they didn't ask for any suggestions!

My wife is a physician in Italy.

She is part of several research projects as part of her routine.
She collects data, analyses them with colleagues and so on.
She doesn't publish papers, actually. That's what other people do using her result together with those of other physicians.

But this IS doing #Science.
It's not all she does.
But it's part of what she does.

Ars longa, vita brevis, occasio praeceps, experimentum periculosum, iudicium difficile.
Nec vero solum seipsum praestare oportet oportuna facientem: sed et assidentes, et exteriora.

Rarely I've seen such amount of #bullshit about #history.

We have a long common history that dates back at least to the Roman empire. It's a convoluted history, full of wars and deaths, cultural exchanges and deep genetic mixing between all of the peoples that came and lived here during a few thousands years.

Europe has not been a single nation for long, this is true. But we have a common culture. A culture that learnt to welcome our differences.

A culture that, actually, has been corrupted by the Marshall Plan, but somehow resists in most people here.

Come and see!

You are welcome too! 😉

@morven come funziona? Io ho apportato commenti e modifiche... divento un socio fondatore?

@bcallah

Uhm.. sorry for my ignorance... but where can I read the game rules?

@TheMainOne@floss.social

#Stallman is a #hacker.

People don't like us.
Too weird.

And we're not part of American remorse (yet). No coscience to wash.

So they don't need to brag about being inclusive, with us.

That was what I thought the very first time I installed #Plan9, something like 15 years ago.

Since then I learnt that it's like looking at a time machine and wondering about parking issues.

Really, build file systems.
You won't regret what you'll learn.
