I remember having this book. I was probably 14 or 15 years old, and I was just getting into aviation after being given my first flying lesson. I had a copy of MS Flight Simulator, and I had taught myself some C++, but…
Great, but it's buggy. I guessed the correct word (nancy), but it rejected it. Perhaps there is something wrong with the capitalization.
I studied with Professor Golb for many years at the University of Chicago. He was my doctoral advisor and taught most of the classes I took in my program. He was a genuinely good man, kind, a true gentleman, and the…
Sesame Street! Yes! My friends and I called it "Fisher Price".
Exactly. This guy nails it. The serverless paradigm is a managed service, so you are paying extra for that management. Serverless also is built for automated connectivity within the AWS ecosystem, i.e. as a nerve center…
The Christian bias on scroll scholarship was widely corrected in the 90s with the Scrolls' public release. Since then Jewish scholarship of the Scrolls has contributed an enormous amount, cf. Lawrence Schiffman, Emanuel…
It's a good point, and the distinction is not one that most historians would deal with being more scientific in nature. However, in the long and heated debate about the scrolls' origins, scientific analysis of the…
Yes, there was one article published a number of years ago (the author's name escapes me), who did a good job of parsing out the various communities that could have been responsible for certain caves, priests, Zealots,…
It has to do with the scholarly consensus of the local, i.e. Khirbet Qumran, origin of the scrolls, namely that they were produced at that settlement. Contrary views say that they scrolls were principally produced in or…
The "big picture" background here is that the scholarly consensus, established prematurely before all but the scrolls in the 1st cave were found, was that they belonged to an Essene "monastic" settlement at the ruins of…
Yes, the scrolls have been published in their entirety in the series Discoveries in the Judaean Desert numbering some 40 volumes. These are the official "first editions". There are numerous other collections of a…
The other thing this article seems to miss is the level of abstraction at which FP applications need to live. At the OS level, where state is being managed, using FP would be insane. I don't think anyone really would…
This rather scattered and jargon-laden article seems to be pointing out the differences between the lambda calculus (stateless) and the Turing machine (stateful), which, while computationally equivalent, are not…
This is exciting to see. I am a Semitic philologist (Ph.D.) now breaking into the IT industry, and this sort of work is on my radar, though mostly with Hebrew and Aramaic. Arabic, being a Semitic language, has a…
