The story here is likely off on the wrong foot from the start: our Halloween isn't really meaningfully connected to Samhain. https://adfontesjournal.com/archives/halloween-its-creation-...
It's not instantly clear from e.g. http://www.lojban.org/publications/etymology/etysample.txt what the algorithm was for the computerized part of the process of gismu construction, although I doubt it was as naive as…
I don't think anyone claims that Lojban phonology will help people guess the meaning of its root words. Even if you guess that {klama} means "travel", you probably can't guess that it means precisely (x1 travels to…
If the human brain functions more or less according to classical physics, with causality running forwards in time, then "one's nature" is just a very complicated function of the local state of the universe - the…
Seemingly the same Henry Baker who wrote all those papers on garbage collection. http://home.pipeline.com/~hbaker1/ http://www.bakercapital.com/team_baker_g.html Also,…
GemStone was beloved of most who used it, and it is poised to make a comeback through MagLev. Meanwhile, ORMs (which attempt to implement an OODB on top of an RDB) are ubiquitous.
Submission title is somewhat misleading. Nobody appears to be claiming that e.g. a chimp engineered with the human version of FOXP2 (the single gene under discussion) would have human-style language capacity…
There's a fundamental difference between BlackBerry and iPhone here, though: You don't have to use BlackBerry AppWorld if you don't want to, you can make your application available directly from your own website.…
The dailygalaxy article makes it sound like this phenomenon is completely baffling to scientists - my first thought as I read it was "vitalism", they seemed to be saying that the sequence recognition just happens by…
I think "Factor" is a good name for a programming language, it's memorable and it conjures up appropriate mental images. That the word has both of these qualities ensures that it will be used for many other things, and…
