Fair points. My use of “primary” was a poor choice; I meant something along the lines of “most common among individuals who aren’t philosophers, in my experience.”

Interesting take! Is lightning conscious, then? The idea of Thor isn’t too far off if so, haha.

Not everyone finds it persuasive, yeah. It’s an appeal to intuition that many people, though not all, have.

Where’s the Julia programmer that hits every one of these with @benchmark and then works for six hours to shave three nanoseconds off of the fastest one?

Yeah, that was my favorite one

Within a loop could be:

for(i in 1:10){
     assign(paste0("listNum", i), list(i, someStringVector[i], i:(i+20), i*value))
}```

And you can also use get() in the same way to dynamically retrieve a variable. 

I've gone so far into coding debauchery that I've dynamically assigned variables from dynamically retrieved ones, and I've done so fairly frequently.

Good lord, I hope no one employed at Microsoft reads this. I would bet they institute it if they think of it.

Popularize the apps that exist. I couldn’t figure out how to browse it in a Reddit-like way until I tried an app. That was all I needed to make the switch.
