Famous mathematician Cauchy, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augustin-Louis_Cauchy (1789 – 1857), was a "royalist."

Haven't got to tracking down more details about his attitude.

Always find it a bit odd when people complain about documentation, or place emphasis on it. My first prioroty is, "it works".

On the other hand, it is hardly clear in most cases, who the audience of the comments are. Do they know much, do they know little? If they know little, there needs to be a lot of documentation. Who is to say?

So when I hear about people, who mention bad documentation, or who complain about some documentation, it strikes me a bit odd.

It might have been. But too late now.

Downhill now. Not that it was at great heights. But more safe to ignore.

Like chocolate ice cream? Not a useful idea.

This is not non-commercial, right? The $5,000 limit shouldn't apply. Where to read about that limitation?

BBC gone bonkers? "Support for the plans - brain child of Swiss businessman turned politician Thomas Minder - has been fuelled by a series of perceived disasters for major Swiss companies, coupled with salaries and bonuses staying high"

Disasters, or only perceived disasters?

I thought the same. Trademarks don't expire. This could become widespread.

Careful what you ask for: next thing you know, scientists will be (even more) selected on their policies.

vlm: "you're really correlating ALL industrial era commodities because they all grew about the same rate in the same economy."

Depends on what data is analyzed. Maybe there are gradients in sugar consumption, which can be correlated with gradients of violence. Maybe there are other clever ways at looking at it.
