We're still figuring out how to do it. Trying new programming language ideas is a big part of that... I started with Fortran 77, and man oh man am I glad I can program in Go now.
Thank you language experimenters!
And you’re 100% right. I’ve changed my chisel and plane iron sharpening method twice in the last 12 months.
There’s oil stones, wet stones, diamond stones, and sandpaper. Plus a leather strop with pick-your-compound. I’ve used 2 different jigs on stones to get a more consistent bevel than by hand. There’s high speed grinders with a lot of pauses and cooling to not lose the temper. There’s expensive water cooled low speed grinders. Then there’s debate on the angle, microbeveling, and how much of the back you should flatten.
I’m now using a new jig from TayTools that uses a 3M Cubitron II sandpaper disk on a drill press when they get bad. I freehand on diamond and a strop after and between resetting the bevel. It’s the laziest way I’ve found so far.
Claiming any choice is best is likely to result in fisticuffs. And don’t start a conversation on workbench design or vice choices.
> Shen owes its origins to work done in the 90s by Mark Tarver on applying high performance automated reasoning techniques to the problem of type checking programs. The first version of the work SEQUEL (SEQUEnt processing Language) premiered at the 1993 International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence under the title 'A Language for Implementing Arbitrary Logics'.
Maybe just ignore the articles that don't interest you?
I, for one, will lament these days when the AI overlords take over and we just ask AlexaSiriGPT to write all our code in the same breath as turning on the radio.
