“ 68. If we believe in data structures, we must believe in independent (hence simultaneous) processing. For why else would we collect items within a structure? Why do we tolerate languages that give us the one without the other?

“ The ability of computers to so repeat a task has led to modern forms of this technique: screen savers that fly through space forever, looping and churning tunnels, or unique images such as a commonly-linked animation of David Hasselhoff.

I think maybe the first quote there makes the second use of literally a bit suspect.

Because honestly, for all the people who complain about how fast Neal Stephenson ends stories, this one is extreme. The conclusion is 9 words.
It’s a perfect little story in exactly the same way as “… All you Zombies …” is, archetypal without being stereotypical.
And if you haven’t read it before, enjoy.
“ svdiff is a perl script to compare/diff two (comma) seperated files with each other. The part that is different to standard diff is, that you’ll get the number of the record where the difference occours and the field/column which is different.

“ Democracy demands that the religiously motivated translate their concerns into universal, rather than religion-specific, values. It requires that their proposals be subject to argument, and amenable to reason. I may be opposed to abortion for religious reasons, but if I seek to pass a law banning the practice, I cannot simply point to the teachings of my church or evoke God’s will. I have to explain why abortion violates some principle that is accessible to people of all faiths, including those with no faith at all. Now this is going to be difficult for some who believe in the inerrancy of the Bible, as many evangelicals do. But in a pluralistic democracy, we have no choice. Politics depends on our ability to persuade each other of common aims based on a common reality. It involves the compromise, the art of what’s possible. At some fundamental level, religion does not allow for compromise. It’s the art of the impossible. If God has spoken, then followers are expected to live up to God’s edicts, regardless of the consequences. To base one’s life on such uncompromising commitments may be sublime, but to base our policy making on such commitments would be a dangerous thing.
