Sat Sep 20 19:02:53 UTC 2014 <mircea_popescu> moriarty it would work as a wot system, and as that only.
Sat Sep 20 19:02:33 UTC 2014 <moriarty> but i guess once a system is put in place, resistance would act against any attempts to better the status quo
Sat Sep 20 19:02:13 UTC 2014 <moriarty> peer review would work if it was more well-thought out like a jury system
Sat Sep 20 19:00:49 UTC 2014 <moriarty> agreed, mircea_popescu
Sat Sep 20 18:56:13 UTC 2014 <mircea_popescu> moriarty it's a problem of dynamic equilibrium. peer review worked before weight was put on it.
Sat Sep 20 18:55:27 UTC 2014 <moriarty> mircea_popescu, it doesn't help that the metrics of a good academic is the number of publications, one that seems to be robust in the face of peer review, but take a peek behind the curtain only to unveil the editorial committee having ties to the same university, sigh
Sat Sep 20 18:54:19 UTC 2014 <moriarty> mircea_popescu, yeah i don't care too much for academia, when i've realised the amount of crap coming from most institutions
Sat Sep 20 18:53:55 UTC 2014 <moriarty> mircea_popescu, lol
Sat Sep 20 18:53:06 UTC 2014 <mircea_popescu> <moriarty> asciilifeform, to be fair it was somewhat of an adjustment coming from the open world of academia and studenthood into proprietary work << that'd explain why you so drastically overestimate the "conversation" going on between empty barrels rolling downhill.
Sat Sep 20 18:52:13 UTC 2014 <asciilifeform> moriarty: in point of fact, given correct hardware design ('dataflow' machine) neither compilers nor 'parallelism' as conventionally understood - are necessary concepts at all.
Sat Sep 20 18:50:55 UTC 2014 <moriarty> asciilifeform, sure, and then you get the philosophical stances behind strong vs weak typing, how many passes would you like your compilation to occur, how about parallelism for that matter, etc
Sat Sep 20 18:47:24 UTC 2014 <moriarty> for me, it died before it even became mainstream
Sat Sep 20 18:47:13 UTC 2014 <moriarty> asciilifeform, i'm surprised Clojure is still popular
Sat Sep 20 18:46:33 UTC 2014 <asciilifeform> moriarty: all of these devices are quite the same from the standpoint of, e.g., 1970s hardware architect (in whose time there were actually multiple cpu paradigms in use)
Sat Sep 20 18:46:31 UTC 2014 <moriarty> hah :)
Sat Sep 20 18:45:06 UTC 2014 <moriarty> :P
Sat Sep 20 18:45:05 UTC 2014 <moriarty> no one-size-fits-all solution, last language, pfft
Sat Sep 20 18:44:52 UTC 2014 <moriarty> the very basics of comparative languages as one of the electives or course modules in CS will inform anyone that the history of language development was in response to advances in hardware, but at the same time, paradigms from ages before still come into play today at various points in the hardware spectrum, if no longer on your desktop, then at least on your mobile devices which are
Sat Sep 20 18:44:52 UTC 2014 <moriarty> still constrained
