She ' s piloting a ship with a Chinese name . That ' s surely more than coincidence . <| sep |> I don ' t agree . I ' ll have to say that since I ' m not formally trained here I ' m crazily ignorant of the stuff I don ' t know but like I don ' t need to know how the early days of computers worked because I don ' t use assembly , I don ' t write compilers , I don ' t write C . Yes , there ' s certain cases where if you want to learn about how it used to be done , you don ' t want to make the same mistakes , but I adamantly refuse to believe the best source of information is the people who only discovered the stuff , instead of the people who ' ve started out with the baseline of his life ' s work and improved on it . I won ' t go back to the old stuff sooner than I ' d go read from the people who ' ve learned from him because they can use the good stuff and throw out the trash . Telling someone that a given person invented something is like telling that person to go study Edison instead of anyone in the last 50 years who ' ve work in the field . It ' s old and almost certainly outdated . There is not a good way to reasonably convince me that there ' s not a better resource for learning literally everything a person has ever written about in the 50 years since they wrote it . It means that in the 50 years since , no one has improved or reworked or otherwise iterated on the concepts introduced , and I can reasonably say that we have .
