  • I think the Catholic Church does Latin because that was the language the first pope (Saul/Paul) was given his revelation in.

    Omniscient being(s) would, of course, understand any language.

    The weave/astral is manipulated by intelligence/will and the somatic component if any is just to provide caster focus.





  • Based on the simulations I’ve seen, yeah. I’m sure there were plenty of panic in the sub and during the anaphylaxis, but I believe once the sub failed, there was less than a second between in first physical sensation to the complete disorganization of the nervous system, rendering the sub death quite painless. With anaphlaxis, even a sudden, sever attack, there will be several minutes of (at least) muscle strain as your diaphragm desperately tries to pull in more oxygen, and also general pain as your tissues squeeze against one another as they expand and nerve cells die.

    I can and have accepted death; I’m too old to believe radical life extension will save me. But, many deaths are incredibly painful. If I have a choice on how to go out, inert gas asphyxiation seems best, but some sort of rapid disorganization isn’t too bad. Anaphylactic shock seems worse.

    “sign jokes” are probably written by “the room”. Everyone tosses out 2-3, and the whoever is running the room for that episode picks one. They might even keep a backlog for these since they don’t really have to be related to the episode plots/topics. Simpsons and Futurama also have them in many episodes, but Bob’s Burger’s is the only show I know that always has one (two if you count the “Burger of the Day”).



  • I think it’s less about type system, and more about lack of a separate compilation step.

    With a compilation step, you can have error messages that developers see, but users don’t. (Hopefully, these errors enable the developers to reduce the errors that users see, and just generally improve the UX, but that’s NOT guaranteed.)

    Without a compilation step, you have to assign some semantics to whatever random source string your interpreter gets. And, while you can certainly make that an error, that would rarely be helpful for the user. JS instead made the choice to, as much as possible, avoid error semantics in favor of silent coercions, conversions, and conflations in order to make every attempt to not “error-out” on the user.

    It would be a very painful decade indeed to now change the semantics for some JS source text.

    Purescript is a great option. Typescript is okay. You could also introduce a JS-to-JS “compilation” step that DID reject (or at least warn the developer) for source text that “should” be given an error semantic, but I don’t know an “off-the-shelf” approach for that – other than JSLint.


  • Oddly enough, in Haskell (as defined by the report), length is monomorphic, so it just doesn’t work on tuples (type error).

    Due to the way kinds (types of types) work in Haskell, Foldable instances can only operate over (i.e. length only counts) elements of the last/final type argument. So, for (,) it only counts the second part, which is always there exactly once. If you provided a Foldable for (,) it would also have length of 1.
