It's in the summary.

You should go find out, then let me know.

Yeah it's actually perfectly fine for daily use if anyone actually cared to try it. Even "less competent" programmers would figure it out with not much time.

These days we mostly choose languages for library availability, not for features of the language.

In science,the way "wrongness" is fixed is by experiment. The only way to decide one way or the other is to collect more data.

The summary says the data was wrong, and the camera system reported he was present when he was not.

Not from you, that's for sure.

Thanks.

Forget about relying on people.

Rely on facts. That's the scientific way.

"Got a designer baby, but I'm a good parent so I won't vaccinate that kid."

Some people are able to read scientific studies and understand them to figure out what is true or what is not.

A large segment of the population is unable to read much at all, and relies on consensus to determine what is true and what is not. So when there's a question, they ask all their friends, their therapist, their husband, people around them, and get people on their side.

The people in the second group are VERY confused about life, but they are too large a segment of the population to ignore.

No.

I remember back in 2001 reading in the newspaper that the next OS from Apple was going to be based on Unix. I thought, "Wow, I guess Apple won't be dying after all." A massive upgrade over System 9, and clearly better than Windows.

OOP is a way to organize your code.

LISP doesn't give any guidance at all on how to organize the code, but it is an extremely flexible language. The flexibility allows creative people to come up with new ideas and test them immediately. That is how Alan Kay came up with Smalltalk, which is a close cousin of Objective-C.

It's where Javascript came from (an excellent language for its original purpose: setting values). It's where the concept of the | in unix came from.

But LISP is not an easy language: the programmer needs to find the beauty. That is why it is not suitable for work: when money is involved, beauty goes out the window.

How do you do that?

There is no doubt that the mathematical mindset makes people better programmers. It trains you to think of all the edge cases, for example.

Of course, there are other ways to develop that mindset as a programmer without going to college, but taking some math classes where you prove things is a really convenient/efficient way to do it.
