Context: STEM with quality gets the heads out of silicon. Clojure will be the central enabler. Just like we have diversity in human affairs, so too ought computing be multi (disciplinary, hetero, …).

I just started to read an article arguing that (near) brute force with a human-in-the-loop can beat elegance. We saw that the 'elegant' went bonkers (vertigo). That is, in KBE (more later). So, we put in interrupts to help huge/long-running numeric bits get out of some local infatuation (cat chasing its tail). Thereby? We cut through hard problems and supported engineers doing real work. On Saturday, October 7, 2017 at 11:26:58 PM UTC-5, John M.
