#construct

0 posts0 participants0 posts today

From a recent thread:
"Time is a Construct."

Most folks could agree that this is a plausible notion. But then, what is a construct? Does it imply a constructor, perceiver, or measurer? Can #Time or anything else exist without being a #Construct? Is a construct itself a construct (a #recursion)?

3 basic reads:
• Time exists outside of anyone's perception.
• Without a perceiver or observer, Time collapses.
• Time doesn't exist.
Or, something else.

“We will also go after the biggest drivers of cost for the #MiddleClass & work to bring them down.And…some would argue, one of the biggest is the cost of #housing. So here’s what we will do. We will cut the red tape that stops homes from being built & take on… #corporate #landlords who are hiking #rent prices &…work w/ #builders & #developers to #construct 3M new #homes & rentals for the middle class, because increasing the housing supply will help drive down the cost of housing”

Anyone know how to install cadquery's CQ-editor (Linux) *without*:

(a) Conda
(b) executing a 576MB shell script?

I don't know what `#construct` is, but it appears to be something like an old-fashioned (ancient-fashioned?) shell archive...

The very idea that someone might download a half gigabyte "shellscript" and run it terrifies me, the same as The Kids These Days running `curl ... | sudo sh` to install random software.
