Ease of reading is a practical feature not a beautiful one. If you think practicality is beautiful well great.

Go is an ugly language. Practical but ugly.

I read it. Science is not logic in the same way that a brick building is not a brick. Your description is inconsistent. You differentiate logical theories and scientific theories a…

Hard to say which came first. Probability can be defined in terms of axioms and classical logic just read any probability book. Classical logic can also be defined in terms of prob…

No. You are both wrong. Logic is one of the fundamental axioms of the universe. We assume logic is true and consistently applies everywhere throughout the universe. This "rewriting…

It's more than just a different way of thinking. There's an intuition gap caused by human bias. We bias towards one way of thinking and moving out of that bias is extremely hard.

Agreed. I'm not fetishizing scalability. I am saying that it is an inevitability. If you can avoid it great, but if you continue growing. You must face it.

You're thinking along the lines of the dimension of distribution. Yes in terms of distribution, software scales because it can be copied. However there are many other dimensions of…

Consider the fact that when complexity of the system rises to a point where no human can comprehend it, the project must lean more and more on specialization rather than a bunch of…

This type of philosophy is good but not scalable or efficient. Scalability and efficiency requires well defined specialized roles. Additionally the more specialized and "stupid" ea…

Yeah you're right, but you do get my point. I should write, causation ALWAYS IMPLIES correlation.
