Brief thoughts

1. The Edification of the Past

Abstract:
Karl Popper has true in big generality: The Time did not verify the things working for a long time, only the Time did not yet falsify them.

2. Complexity & Beauty

Somewhere I read: At first the complexity makes itself attractive by its beauty, and finally its beauty makes complexity clear.

And recently I read:

„Beauty is more important in computing than anywhere else in technology because software is so complicated. Beauty is the ultimate defense against complexity.”¹
