The difference is that forefoot running is harder, but _simpler_. You dont even need highly engineering shoes to run using it, especially barefoot. You can run on bare metal.

Beautiful comment. The Grope is Good would make a great band name or campaign slogan, or maybe both.

Ill never forget asking a TSA guy if he was sure mmwave was really just sound. "Yes! Its just sound waves, completely harmless," he assured me. "Less than your phone makes in your pocket!"

There is no scientific evidence for being able to "train your immune system". There is plenty of evidence the opposite happens. Covid especially can cause permanent immune damage.

Its ok to admit you cant truly grasp something, in fact its a mark of wisdom. The collective output and understanding of the world's scientists is equivalent to that of a superintelligence, you alone will never come close.

I have an uncle who knows a lot more facts about climate change than I do, and uses them to great effect in arguing that its not real.

My uncle is also an idiot.

I think this is great advice, but saying that PL design is done already isn't really true. Its not as hard to make a new kind of PL as you might think, but it is of course hard to make it useful.

Just combining the right features and forgoing the wrong ones into a language alone is an art, to say that its only innovation is a bit like claiming paintings are innovations because we have all the colors :)

Ponder about how the universe could give rise to such a creature, and maybe accidentally discover a few new laws of physics.

_Then_ he'd kill it.
