Also most advanced IDE's do this better and lot more to troubleshoot/debug.

> investigating dice rolling patterns A friend showed me a dice rolling game where you roll a bunch of dice and add up the values. I mentioned that if you roll enough dice and add up all the values, at some point it gets a lot less “random”.
And result turned out "true"? Rolled a die for 2500 times and the sum is all around 8500! I wonder what would be the results for 25/250 times? So, this is sum(expectations).. and for rolling a die, it is 3.5 [(1+2+3+4+5+6)/6 => 21/6], so the answer was 3.5 x 2500 = 8750. Should hold good for all numbers relatively large.

Your command completed after 53 secondsInteresting to see there is no mention of "kalaripayattu". Kalari as its famously shorten [1] have about 2000 years of history and is used with both weapons and no-weapons. Bodhidharma was said to have left from then Tamil states to China.

Here is poem that speaks about children being joyous, and how they playfully eat food. A simple ordeal in everyday life. Its about 7 lines and everyday speaker still understands all of it.

Written Tamil have continuously evolved all along, the recent being around 1950 when printing became prevalent. The language itself changed very little, however only written letters survive and to know what was written 1000 years before you need some training.
Expert opinions might be different. Hope I am getting some information.
How do you measure the language change [2]? There are several approaches, the one I remember reading about is, you fetch the most basic kernel of a language, like very simple key words (like relations, food, feelings and so on) for about 100 words and then see how many of those words have changed since say last 10 years, last 50 years and 100 years and so on. You try going back as long as you can and you loose few words from 100 words you started, that's you delta.

I agree to all of the things you said, once you get used to the cold showers, in fact you would want more and more cold water running over you. More cold will get to be fine.
However, one thing I find annoyingly bad, given the time of the year is that I feel by body warmer (and feel that I might run a fever) and had to check temperature couple of times to see it is only normal. Not sure if this is going to be a long term thing or I might get used to it eventually.

It could be fun to retry Prolog now.
Solving them or progress? May be I don't care, but these little problem, simple ones does encourage one to start thinking about solving problems, they make math accessible to masses.
