Precisely. We can only do what we can, and part of what we can do is educate ourselves. If we don't educate ourselves, we end up being able to do less. Getting depressed at the real world is also not going to help us do what we can. And that's the way the world has been for as long as I've been alive, and, near as I can tell, for as far back as we have history. > best > - -- t And I'll echo that. Best. -- Joel Rees One of these days I'll get someone to pay me to design a language that combines the best of Forth and C. Then I'll be able to leap wide instruction sets with a single #ifdef, run faster than a speeding infinite loop with a #define, and stop all integer size bugs with my bare cast. http://defining-computers.blogspot.com/2017/06/reinventing-computers.html More of my delusions: http://reiisi.blogspot.com/2017/05/do-not-pay-modern-danegeld-ransomware.html http://reiisi.blogspot.jp/p/novels-i-am-writing.html
